A new mini-documentary by Guitar Meets Science delves into the complex history of Accept, covering their formation in 1968 to their eventual breakup.

The documentary explores every twist and betrayal that tore the pioneering German heavy metal band apart, including a name-rights battle with guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and a contract clause that changed everything.

This is the full story of Accept, who helped invent speed metal, went gold in America, and was ultimately destroyed from within.

Udo Dirkschneider performs Accept's "Balls To The Wall" at Rock Hard Festival 2025 in a professionally-filmed video shared by WDR Rockpalast.

A message states that Dirkschneider is an icon of German metal, having risen to fame with Accept and later U.D.O.

The song "Balls To The Wall" was part of a concert recorded by Rockpalast at the festival.

You can watch the full performance on their website.

Dirkschneider's latest project, Dirkschneider & The Old Gang, has released a new album called Babylon, featuring former Accept members Udo Dirkschneider on vocals, Peter Baltes on bass, and Stefan Kaufmann on guitar.

The album was released via Reigning Phoenix Music on October 3.

Some of the tracks included in the album are "It Takes Two To Tango," "Hellbreaker," and "Time To Listen." A Facebook group for metal enthusiasts has also been created by BraveWords, where you can discuss metal music and promote your own bands, podcasts, radio shows, or record labels.
