German/American heavy metal legends ACCEPT are celebrating their 50th anniversary with an ambitious collaborative album titled Teutonic Titans 1976–2026, set for release on September 4 via Napalm Records.
The record features 19 reimagined classic tracks drawn from ACCEPT's golden 1980s catalog, with 50 guest musicians lending their talents to the project. The guest roster reads like a who's who of metal royalty: Rob Halford (JUDAS PRIEST), Philip Anselmo (PANTERA), Kirk Hammett (METALLICA), Tobias Forge (GHOST), Mikkey Dee (SCORPIONS), David Ellefson (MEGADETH), K.K. Downing, Hansi Kürsch (BLIND GUARDIAN), Bobby Ellsworth (OVERKILL), Chris Jericho (FOZZY), and many more.
The tracklist includes "Fast As A Shark," "Balls To The Wall," "Metal Heart," "Restless And Wild," "Breaker," "Hellhammer," and 13 other ACCEPT classics, all reimagined with this extraordinary cast of collaborators.
Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann stated: "There is no better way to celebrate this 50-year anniversary than to have our musical peers, friends, and inspirations come together with us to record these classic ACCEPT songs."
The album is available for pre-order now in multiple formats. ACCEPT's current lineup — Wolf Hoffmann (guitar), Mark Tornillo (vocals), Philip Shouse (guitar), Christopher Williams (drums), and Martin Motnik (bass) — anchors all recordings. The release arrives via Napalm Records on September 4, 2026.
