German heavy metal legends reunite 50 guest artists to reimagine their greatest tracks — out September 4 via Napalm Records.

Few bands in heavy metal history can claim a 50-year legacy, but Accept isn't just celebrating — they're marking the milestone with one of the most ambitious albums the genre has ever seen. Teutonic Titans 1976–2026 arrives September 4, 2026, via Napalm Records, and it brings together a jaw-dropping 50 guest musicians across 19 reimagined versions of the band's most iconic tracks.

Led by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, the band assembled a true who's-who of heavy metal royalty. Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, and Mikkey Dee tear through speed metal classic "Fast As A Shark." Rob Halford — the Metal God himself — lends his commanding voice to "Balls to the Wall" alongside Matthias Jabs on guitar. Tobias Forge delivers on "Save Us," Billy Corgan appears on "Love Child," and K.K. Downing, Bobby Blitz, Hansi Kürsch, Chris Jericho, and many more round out the lineup.

"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," says Hoffmann. "I am honored and proud to share this very special record with the World."

The album traces Accept's catalogue chronologically, running from I'm a Rebel (1980) through Eat the Heat (1989), with each track featuring a unique combination of guest vocalists, guitarists, and rhythm sections — ensuring every song feels fresh. Pre-orders are live now in multiple exclusive formats including limited vinyl pressings, earbooks, and deluxe box sets.

Accept also has a massive 2026 tour underway, with European festival dates this summer (Graspop, Hellfest, Rock Fest Barcelona) and an extensive European headline run in November–December.
