ACCEPT's 'Blood Of The Nations' Lands On Germany's 'Metal Rock Club' Chart
July 6, 2010"Blood Of The Nations", the new studio album from reformed heavy metal legends ACCEPT — which will not be released in Europe until the end of August — has entered the German Metal Rock Club chart (MRC 30) at No. 28.
The MRC chart is based solely on the votes from DJs around Germany who took part in the numerous listening sessions at which the band played excerpts from eight songs off the new album. These listening sessions took place between the shows of ACCEPT's recent sold-out warm-up tour of Europe. Many German retailers base their advance orders on these charts, so "Blood Of The Nations" is already shaping up to be a commercial success.
"Blood Of The Nations" will be released via Nuclear Blast Records on the following dates:
August 20: Europe
September 14: North America
"Blood Of The Nations" was recorded at Backstage Studio in Derbyshire, England with acclaimed British producer and SABBAT guitarist Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, EXODUS, ARCH ENEMY, MASTERPLAN). The CD — which marks the recording debut of the band's latest addition, vocalist Mark Tornillo (ex-TT QUICK) — contains the following 12 tracks:
01. Beat The Bastards
02. Teutonic Terror
03. The Abyss
04. Blood Of The Nations
05. Shades Of Death
06. Locked And Loaded
07. Kill The Pain
08. Rollin Thunder
09. Pandemic
10. New World Comin'

Regarding Tornillo's addition to ACCEPT, Hoffmann previously said, "It all happened in minutes. Peter and I were working on some tunes in a studio in New Jersey. Somebody suggested we give this guy Mark a call to see if he would join us on vocals. So when he arrived we started jamming on some old ACCEPT tunes — just for fun. As soon as Mark started singing we looked at each other and realized the impossible just happened: we found a new voice for ACCEPT! The timing could not have been better! Now or never... We are re-energized and excited..."
