German heavy metal institution Accept marks an astonishing 50 years not with nostalgia, but with sheer firepower. Teutonic Titans 1976–2026, arriving September 4th via Napalm Records, is a full-scale rearmament of their catalogue—rebuilt through collaboration with some of the biggest names in heavy music.
Pre-orders are already live across multiple formats via Napalm Records and the band’s official channels.
A guest list forged in steel
At the center of this release stands Wolf Hoffmann, but Teutonic Titans is anything but a solo vision. Across 19 tracks, nearly 50 guest musicians reshape Accept’s legacy into something dynamic, unpredictable—and often explosive along with Mark Tornillo sharp vocals.
Tobias Forge brings a dark, theatrical weight to “Save Us”, backed by Ray Luzier. Meanwhile, “Fast As A Shark” becomes a full-throttle assault with Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, and Mikkey Dee firing on all cylinders.
Few moments feel as monumental as “Balls to the Wall”, elevated by Rob Halford alongside Matthias Jabs—a pairing that practically defines heavy metal lineage.
Elsewhere, Billy Corgan and David Ellefson reshape “Love Child” with an unexpected emotional depth.
The supporting cast reads like a festival lineup in itself: K. K. Downing, Bobby Blitz Ellsworth, Hansi Kürsch, Chris Jericho, Ralf Scheepers, Billy Sheehan, Ola Englund, and Jeff Loomis.
This isn’t a tribute album—it’s a collision of eras.
Teutonic Titans 1976–2026 lands September 4, 2026, via Napalm Records, with pre-orders already available in multiple collector formats, including limited editions aimed squarely at longtime fans and vinyl collectors.
