Accept has announced a special project to celebrate five decades of their career. The group will release the album Teutonic Titans 1976–2026 on September 4th, via Napalm Records, bringing together some of the biggest names in heavy metal.
The album will feature around 50 guests across 19 tracks, revisiting the band's classics with new versions. Each song will have different combinations of musicians, making it Accept's most ambitious and star-studded release.
Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann commented: “There’s no better way to celebrate this 50th anniversary than having our colleagues, friends, and musical inspirations reunited with us to record these classic
Accept songs, which I’m honored and proud to share with the world. I hope everyone enjoys this very special album as much as we enjoyed recording it.”
Among the participants are Tobias Forge (Ghost) on the track “Save Us”, accompanied by Ray Luzier on drums. Philip Anselmo (Pantera), Kirk Hammett (Metallica) and Mikkey Dee (Scorpions) stand out on the speed metal classic “Fast As A Shark”.
Meanwhile, “Balls To The Wall” gains strength with the powerful vocals of Rob Halford (Judas Priest), alongside the guitars of Matthias Jabs (Scorpions), while “Love Child” emerges renewed with Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) and David Ellefson (Megadeth).
Other appearances include: Kk Downing, Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth (Overkill), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Chris Jericho (Fozzy), Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big), Ola Englund (The Haunted) and Jeff Loomis (Nevermore).
