Amazing! This sounds ACCEPT!

Sounded like generic heavy metal. Very good actually, considering it's from a band this old, and without Udo. I liked the song!

Wow! Just...Wow !!

..Because it's amazing. Like, balls-to-the-wall amazing. Like, metal-heart, russian-roulette and restless-and-wild amazing. New singer Mark Tornillo sounds suberb, he didn't make me miss Udo for a second. I strongly recommend this to everyone.

I've never heard the new singer (Tornillo) until now, but he is impressive. Sounds stylistically a lot like Udo, but perhaps with a bit more power and range. I've got to go pick this new release up at FYE at the mall sometime this week.

@Mormegil- it does remind me a bit of Metal Heart and Balls to the Wall era Accept.

Never heard of this band before.

It's like GammaRay and Metallica combined, at least.

Moar clips?

Check out "Balls to the Wall" and "Metal Heart" (Wolf Hoffmann quotes Beethoven's "Fur Elise" during the solo. And no, it's unlikely that Yngwie was amused by this.) over on YouTube.

The "Metal Heart" live in Japan 1985 is outstanding.

Whoa they really sound like AC/DC.

Besides Udo Dirkschneider's voice, I think you hit closer with the Metallica+Gamma Ray comparison. HammerFall is another band that sounds like they took some ideas from Accept.

Balls to the Wall and Metal Heart are probably their two biggest hits. Here are some other cool stuff if you're interested: Fast As A Shark (Allegedly the first speed metal song. Also, Helloween has a nice cover version of this), Princess of the Dawn, TV War, Monsterman, Guardian of the Night, Objection Overruled / Objection Overruled -album (If you're into more "heavy" and modern sounding stuff).

I would rather call Highway Star proto-speed metal than "pure" speed metal, but yeah, why not. They're both great songs after all.

I was about 12 or 13 years old when Motorhead released "Ace of Spades", and I'd always considered them to be the godfathers of speed/thrash metal.

I have an unhealthy addiction to Deep Purple. By the sounds of Tolkki's writing in Stratovarius, so did he.

NOOO! They don't! If they sounded like AC/DC I wouldnät enjoy the album... Maybe Pandemic and locked an loaded has an AC/DC flow... But on the other hand I hate these two songs

I really like the album!

Great release! I wasn't that much of a fan, but damn this is great!
