EP
The Abyss
The Abyss is an EP by the German heavy metal band Accept, released on 21 May 2010 through Nuclear Blast.
It arrived in the same year as Blood of the Nations, the album that followed Predator from 1996 and opened the band's later run, which continued with Stalingrad in 2012 and Blind Rage in 2014. For anyone following Accept's story, this short release sits at the start of that chapter and is a handy companion to the album.
