Accept have announced a landmark release celebrating 50 years of Heavy Metal with their upcoming album Teutonic Titans 1976-2026. Set for release on 4 September 2026 via Napalm Records, the album features 19 reimagined classics and includes contributions from 50 guest musicians.
The project brings together some of the biggest names in Heavy Metal, including Tobias Forge, Kirk Hammett and Billy Corgan.
Led by Wolf Hoffmann, the album revisits key tracks from Accept’s catalogue, delivering fresh interpretations while maintaining the band’s signature sound. Each track features a unique lineup of performers, offering a new perspective on classic songs.
“There is no better way to celebrate this 50th anniversary than to have our musical peers, friends, and inspirations come together with us to record these classic ACCEPT songs, which I am honoured and proud to share with the world,” Wolf Hoffmann said. “I hope everyone enjoys this very special record as much as we all enjoyed making it.”
Described as a manifesto of Metal, the release celebrates the band’s legacy and global influence across five decades.
Accept will also perform live in the UK in August 2026, continuing their anniversary celebrations on stage.

Chronologically progressing through albums from their formative years, from I’m A Rebel (1980) to Eat The Heat (1989), Accept present their songs with an all-new, all-star lineup, alongside the signature voice of Mark Tornillo and Wolf Hoffmann’s unmistakable riffs.
By enlisting a Who’s Who of Metal, no two songs on Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 are the same. Every track features a different combination of vocals, guitars, bass, and drums, giving each classic a fresh edge.
Tobias Forge delivers a commanding performance on the track Save Us (I’m A Rebel, 1980), joined by Ray Luzier on drums. Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, and Mikkey Dee tear through the Speed Metal classic Fast As A Shark (Restless And Wild, 1982).
Balls To The Wall surges with the powerful range of Metal God Rob Halford, alongside the guitar work of Matthias Jabs, while the reimagined Love Child is elevated by Billy Corgan and David Ellefson (both songs from Balls To The Wall, 1983).
Other guest stars on Accept’s extraordinary release include K. K. Downing, Bobby Blitz, Hansi Kürsch, Chris Jericho, Ralf Scheepers, Billy Sheehan, Ola Englund, and Jeff Loomis.
The album also features a re-recording of Hellhammer (Eat The Heat, 1989), performed by Accept’s current lineup of Wolf Hoffmann, bassist Martin Motnik, guitarist Philip Shouse and drummer Christopher Williams, joined by Jason McMaster on vocals.
