Discover the electrifying new heights of German metal legends in Accept Humanoid’s latest review!
Legacy bands making a triumphant return seems to be a trend that is showing no signs of slowing down. From underground metal legends like Heavy Load and Overlorde to iconic names like Judas Priest and Saxon, older bands are proving that age is just a number when it comes to rocking out.
One band that has been making waves with their comeback is Accept. With only one original member remaining, guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, Accept has managed to stay true to their Teutonic metal sound and maintain a strong presence in the music scene. Their US singer, Mark Tornillo, has seamlessly stepped into the shoes of the band’s legendary frontman, delivering powerful vocals that define Accept’s sound in a new era.
Their latest album, “Humanoid,” is a testament to Accept’s staying power and musical prowess. While their previous release, “Too Mean To Die,” showed hints of playing it safe, “Humanoid” is a game-changer. The album effortlessly blends unique musical ideas with the band’s signature heavy riffs, creating a perfect balance of sound that grabs the listener’s attention from start to finish.
Tracks like “Diving Into Sin,” with its Eastern influences, and “Unbreakable,” a fist-pumping anthem, showcase Accept’s ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. “Straight Up Jack” is a gritty rock ‘n’ roll tune that is sure to get fans moving, while the closing track, “Southside Of Hell,” is a high-energy powerhouse that leaves a lasting impression.
Comparisons to Judas Priest’s recent release, “Invincible Shield,” are inevitable. Both bands have stood the test of time, keeping the spirit of classic heavy metal alive and well. Accept’s “Humanoid” is a testament to their enduring legacy and their ability to deliver music that rivals even the latest generation of metal bands.
“Humanoid” is set to be released this Friday, April 26, via Napalm Records. Fans of classic heavy metal and new listeners alike are in for a treat with this album, as Accept proves that they are still a force to be reckoned with in the music world.
