ACCEPT To Perform Entire 'Restless And Wild' Album In Switzerland

January 21, 2011

Reformed heavy metal legends ACCEPT will perform their classic 1982 album "Restless And Wild" in its entirety — including such trend-setting gems as "Fast As A Shark", "Restless & Wild" and "Princess Of The Dawn" — on January 25 at Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland. These classic songs will be supplemented with several new songs from their latest album, "Blood Of The Nations". This exclusive show will be talked about for years to come as yet another high point in ACCEPT's chronicle of special events and a very distinct experience for all hard rock fans and the many die-hard ACCEPT followers.

ACCEPT kicked off its massive "Blood Of The Nations 2011 Tour" of Europe on January 14. The shows in Osnabrück, Bad Arolsen and Antwerp were packed with passionate metal-loving fans. The two-hour-plus performance pummels the fans with classics like "Balls To The Wall", "Metal Heart" and the immortal "Princess Of the Dawn", completed with the pedal-to-the-metal bombast of ACCEPT's new hits "Teutonic Terror" and "The Abyss".

The entire "Blood Of the Nations 2011 Tour" will involve over 80 mind-blowing concerts around the globe.

"Blood Of The Nations", the new album from ACCEPT, sold around 2,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 187 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Released in North America on September 14, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records, "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 marks the recording debut of the band's latest addition, vocalist Mark Tornillo (ex-TT QUICK).

After debuting their new lineup to a sold-out audience in New York last May and then traveling to Europe to devastate the masses with shows in 16 different countries in 80 days (including two shows opening for AC/DC),ACCEPT returned to tour the U.S. for the first time in 14 years on a co-headlining tour with KING'S X. ACCEPT's first show kicked off the eleventh annual ProgPower USA festival in Atlanta.
