Album
Blood of the Nations
Blood of the Nations is the twelfth studio album by the German heavy metal band Accept, released on 20 August 2010 through Scarecrow Records. It was their first studio record since Predator in 1996, which ended a gap of well over a decade between albums.
It is also a record of fresh faces. Mark Tornillo sings here for the first time, taking over from Udo Dirkschneider, who had been absent from the vocal spot only on Eat the Heat in 1989. Stefan Schwarzmann joins on drums, and guitarist Herman Frank returns for the first time since Balls to the Wall in 1983. For anyone curious about how Accept carried on after their long silence, this is where the second chapter begins, and it leads straight into Stalingrad in 2012.
