The title song was, is, and will always be a monster. It could be considered a more malicious and militant rejoinder to AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell.” Udo Dirkschneider often sounds like a more unhinged version of Bon Scott, especially on “Fight It Back” and “Turn Me On,” two of the album’s best songs. “Losers and Winners” is such a fiercely energized piece of metal that when Dirkschneider squeals “Write her a letter … you’ll feel better when it’s done,” the listener can't be sure that he’s talking about the postal service. Between the homoeroticism of the cover art and titles like “London Leatherboys,” Accept caught a lot of flak for promoting what some saw as “gay metal.” While the speculation was pointless (and false), Accept said it was interested in all marginalized sectors of society, including gay culture. Certainly, “Love Child,” written from the perspective of an alienated gay man, should be credited as one of the bravest songs in a genre often dismissed as socially regressive.

While songs like “Don’t Go Stealing My Soul Away” prove that Accept wasn't opposed to tuneful hard rock, Restless and Wild is usually regarded as a favorite of metal purists. The album is bookended by what are by far two of the most important songs of Accept’s career. With its whiplash tempo and double-bass drum attack, “Fast as a Shark” is heralded by many fans as the first speed metal song. Meanwhile, “Princess of the Dawn,” with its Tolkien-inspired lyrics and fiery climax, presented a new patent for the heavy metal epic."},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=9990&salableAdamId=192486525&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$9.99","price":9.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=192486525&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1456972107","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/1456972107?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":3000,"height":3000,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music123/v4/fe/c4/8c/fec48ce5-be7d-96e3-f9f2-b95fef2c1509/cover.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"120f0a","textColor1":"fbfdfa","textColor2":"f26425","textColor3":"cccdca","textColor4":"c5531f"},"artistName":"Accept","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/stalingrad/1456972107","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Metal","Music","Rock","Hard Rock"],"trackCount":11,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2012-04-06","name":"Stalingrad","recordLabel":"Nuclear Blast","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"0727361284633","copyright":"℗ 2012 Nuclear Blast","playParams":{"id":"1456972107","kind":"album"},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=10990&salableAdamId=1456972107&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$10.99","price":10.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1456972107&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"192666101","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/192666101?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":600,"height":600,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/98/3b/80/mzi.tvadytau.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"07a6dd","textColor1":"0e090d","textColor2":"151018","textColor3":"0d2836","textColor4":"122e3f"},"artistName":"Accept","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/metal-heart/192666101","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Pop","Music","Rock","Hard Rock","Metal"],"trackCount":10,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"1985-05-24","name":"Metal Heart","recordLabel":"Epic/Portrait","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"074643997423","copyright":"℗ 1985 Sony BMG Music Entertainment","playParams":{"id":"192666101","kind":"album"},"editorialNotes":{"standard":"Accept returned in 1985 as a sleeker and swifter group. It was obvious that the first taste of American success energized the band, and while Metal Heart is a more calculated and radio-friendly effort than the albums that preceded it, Accept in no way abandoned its debt to its hardcore metal base. “Up to the Limit” is a perfect example of the balance the group found between its mainstream aspirations and its fundamental aggression. While the song is more streamlined than the band's earlier work, its primary riff is as heavy as anything that came before. Happily, Udo Dirkschneider’s vocals seem to grow more feral as the production becomes slicker, as if to offset the band’s pop potential. While the album failed to produce a single on par with “Balls to the Wall,” Metal Heart was more consistent and gave fans several favorites, including the title song, “Midnight Mover,\" and “Living for Tonite.” Concurrently, the group experimented with new textures. “Teach Us to Survive” is a rare fusion of speed metal and jazz; it seemed to tell the audience that while Accept had mastered the art of the fist-pumping metal riff, it wouldn't be constrained by it.

\nZombie Apocalypse\n“We chose this song to go first because it’s got an intro and feels like a natural show-opening-type song. Once the intro is over, it gives you that full-force metal assault with guitar riffs galore. But it’s not talking about zombies. It’s not talking about dead people. It's really talking about people walking down the streets with their cell phones, looking like zombies disconnected from the world.”
\nToo Mean to Die\n“It’s a statement about the times that we live in. We just wanted to have a bit of fun and write a sort of in-your-face metal song saying, ‘We're the German metal machines that can't be killed’—that sort of thing.”
\nOvernight Sensation\n“That's a catchy, fun song. I think it's going to be one of the best live tracks on this album. Lyrically, it's talking about the modern generation of YouTube kids, because we found it intriguing to think that when we got started you had to learn something for years and years until you got good enough to be maybe famous one day. Nowadays kids go online, post something, it goes viral, and they're basically overnight stars. It's sort of an interesting thing to think about—the whole YouTube, TikTok, Facebook generation. All the rules are changed completely.”
\nNo Ones Master\n“That is a song that was mostly created by our new bass player, Martin Motnik. To me it sounds like a very typical Accept song—like a melodic idea I could have had, but I didn’t. It was his idea, which is great. I think it's talking about the fact that you want to treat everybody like you want to be treated—no one's master, no one's slave. You don't want to bow down to anybody, but at the same time you don't oppress people.”
\nThe Undertaker\n“This one seems to have all the typical Accept elements, with the chanting vocals, the melodic parts, and that sort of midtempo driving beat that we have. It’s interesting because [vocalist] Mark [Tornillo] wrote the lyrics first in the form of a poem, without any music in mind. He just gave me those lyrics and I wrote the music afterwards. I tried to write in a spooky kind of way. That's why this intro works so nicely: It kind of sets the tone for the lyrics, which are talking about this creepy undertaker guy.”
\nSucks to Be You\n“That's another Motnik idea. I rather liked it. It’s got a cool riff, and we all jumped on it when we heard it. And the saying ‘sucks to be you’ is kind of a nice phrase. I guess we all have people that we feel that way about, but it’s not about anyone in particular. I think it's more of a general statement, and you have to use your imagination about who it could be for or who is meant there. Quite honestly, if you are a jerk, that must suck. So it must suck to be you. I like it.”
\nSymphony of Pain\n“This song is about Beethoven’s life, and it’s got all these Beethoven symphonic elements in there, which is something I’ve been doing my whole life. I’ve always been a great fan of classical music and I've always tried to incorporate classical elements into Accept songs wherever appropriate. Of course the best-known symphony of them all is probably Beethoven’s Fifth, and I found a place in this track for it. Also during the guitar solo there’s an element from Beethoven’s Ninth. So yeah, it’s all about Beethoven in this one.”
\nThe Best Is Yet to Come\n“This is not your typical ballad because it’s not quite as slow and draggy as ballads often are. It’s got somewhat of a bouncy feel, which I like. And this is one of my favorites, actually, because the statement ‘the best is yet to come’ really means a lot to me personally. It's sort of my life philosophy, in a way—not only personally but also musically, I think the best is yet to come. I honestly think the best show maybe hasn't been played yet and the best song hasn't been written yet. And I'm really amazed at the job Mark has done singing it. He really did a fantastic job.”
\nHow Do We Sleep\n“‘How Do We Sleep’ is really talking about the state of the world that we live in, whether it's environmentally or politically. There’s so many problems out there, and sometimes you start to wonder, how do we actually manage to keep going? I think we all find a way to tune out these problems because otherwise you would go crazy. But sometimes you wonder, ‘How can we just sit here idle and go on about our lives?’ Well, I don't know. The rainforests are being burnt down. The climate is getting worse, and politically everything's going to hell. So it's definitely worth thinking about that sometimes.”
\nNot My Problem\n“This is another saying that you hear a lot of times. It might be this, it might be that, but at the end of the day, that's not my problem. It's exactly the opposite of ‘How Do We Sleep.’ It's just something that people say, and it worked well in this song.”
\nSamson and Delilah\n“This is an instrumental. It's a direct reference to a classical composition of the same name by the French composer Saint-Saëns. I used the main theme out of that piece, and there's another piece by Antonín Dvořák, called ‘The Symphony From the New World.’ I put the two together and made a rocking metal instrumental out of it. It serves as a nice little outro, I'd say. You’ve heard 10 tracks with vocals, and this is your last one as the credits roll down the screen.”","short":"“We’re the metal warriors immortal, and we can’t be killed.”"},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=10990&salableAdamId=1534988260&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$10.99","price":10.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1534988260&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}],"contentRating":"explicit"}},{"id":"1458860783","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/1458860783?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":3000,"height":3000,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music123/v4/52/14/60/521460e6-300b-e7f4-e7fa-883ea833bb3a/cover.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"090e11","textColor1":"de7257","textColor2":"ed6548","textColor3":"b35e49","textColor4":"bf533d"},"artistName":"Accept","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-rise-of-chaos/1458860783","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Metal","Music","Rock","Hard Rock"],"trackCount":10,"isMasteredForItunes":true,"releaseDate":"2017-08-04","name":"The Rise of Chaos","recordLabel":"Nuclear Blast","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"0727361401238","copyright":"℗ 2017 Nuclear Blast","playParams":{"id":"1458860783","kind":"album"},"isCompilation":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=10990&salableAdamId=1458860783&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$10.99","price":10.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1458860783&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"185871639","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/us/albums/185871639?l=en-US","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":600,"height":600,"url":"https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/b4/b4/8a/mzi.ladconwd.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","bgColor":"201523","textColor1":"d6a56c","textColor2":"e2685d","textColor3":"b1885d","textColor4":"bb5751"},"artistName":"Accept","isSingle":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/album/russian-roulette/185871639","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Hard Rock","Music","Rock","Metal"],"trackCount":10,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"1986-07-01","name":"Russian Roulette","recordLabel":"Epic/Portrait","editorialArtwork":{},"upc":"074644035421","copyright":"℗ 1986 Sony Music Entertainment Inc.","playParams":{"id":"185871639","kind":"album"},"editorialNotes":{"standard":"Following the polished production of Metal Heart, Accept returned to a rawer form of hard rock on 1986’s Russian Roulette, the final album to feature vocalist Udo Dirkschneider until a 1993 reunion. The band’s newfound venom is evident from the very first song: “T.V. War” is a blistering reprisal of the speed-metal sound that Accept helped create, while its portrayal of war images as TV entertainment was particularly pertinent at a time when combat was raging in Afghanistan, Iraq, and El Salvador. The anti-war theme continues through “Monsterman,” “Russian Roulette,\" and “Walking in the Shadow,” the last of which offers a haunting, spiteful image of the Berlin Wall. Throughout the album, the band sounds exceptionally unified. The group’s choruses are chanted in unison against the feral squeals of Dirkschneider, who proves his mettle as one of the genre’s most distinctive vocalists. Likewise, the album is a showcase for guitarist Wolf Hoffman, whose untamed guitar solos are a welcome contrast to the coldly technical virtuosity that was starting to overtake metal.

Without Dirkschneider's savage squeals, it was harder to distinguish Accept from hundreds of likeminded metal bands. Yet Reece did an admirable job, and Wolf Hoffman’s methodically pulverizing riffs kept Accept’s legacy alive on Eat the Heat. While the band lost some of its untamed edge, Accept became a sexier, more Americanized group with “Prisoner,” “Love Sensation,\" and “Chain Reaction.” Certainly power pop tunes like “Break the Ice” and tender ballads like “Mistreated” would've been impossible in the band’s earlier incarnation. While it might have been easy to write off Reece as a handsome interloper, diehard fans accepted him on the basis of “Hellhammer,” “Turn the Wheel,\" and “D-Train,” which are as thunderous as anything from the band’s early years and are made even more deafening by Dieter Dierks' brawny production.
