In a historic release, German-American heavy metal legends Accept, gather the best musicians of the scene to honor 50 years of unadulterated power, according to Blabbermouth . Forged from steel and powered by recognizable riffs, “Teutonic Titans 1976–2026” is a definitive statement of the band’s career.
The album, released by Napalm Records on September 4, 2026, includes some of the most famous tracks in the history of heavy metal. A stunning line-up of 50 guests joins the band, which is led by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, the longtime creator of Accept’s sound, for 19 reworked performances of their greatest hits. “Teutonic Titans 1976-2026” is Accept’s most ambitious and star-studded release to date, with a global audience.
The record cements the band’s place on the international scene and has the biggest names of heavy music honoring the German-American titans. It is a manifesto of metal, not just an album. Pre-orders are now offered in a range of unique formats. Moving chronologically through albums from their early years, such as “I’m A Rebel” (1980) and “Eat The Heat” (1989), Accept present their songs with a brand-new, all-star line-up, with Wolf Hoffmann’s distinctive riffs and Mark Tornillo’s signature vocals. No two tracks on “Teutonic Titans 1976-2026” are the same because it has a variety of metal musicians. Each track has a unique blend of drums, bass, guitars and vocals, giving each classic song a unique flavor.
With Ray Luzier on drums, Tobias Forge (Ghost) gives a strong performance on the song “Save Us” (“I’m A Rebel”, 1980). Mikkey Dee (Scorpions), Philip Anselmo (Pantera) and Kirk Hammett (Metallica) perform the classic speed metal “Fast As A Shark” (“Restless And Wild”, 1982). Rob Halford’s (Judas Priest) enormous range and Matthias Jabs’ guitar (Scorpions) make “Balls To The Wall” soar, while the performances of Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) and David Ellefson (Megadeth) on “Love Child” reinforce the 1983 song.
KK Downing (Judas Priest), Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth (Overkill), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Chris Jericho (Fozzy), Ralph Scheepers (Primal Fear), Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big), Ola Englund (The Haunted) and Jeff Loomis (Nevermore) are among the other guest stars on Accept’s remarkable release. The current line-up of Accept – Wolf Hoffmann, bassist Martin Motnik, guitarist Philip Shouse, drummer Christopher Williams and singer Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys) – perform a re-recording of “Hellhammer” (“Eat The Heat”, 1989) on the album.
