STEELWING To Support ACCEPT On European Tour

December 22, 2010

Swedish metallers STEELWING will support reformed heaby metal legends ACCEPT on their European tour in early 2011.

Commented STEELWING: "There's IRON MAIDEN, there's JUDAS PRIEST and then there's ACCEPT. They have always been one of our favorite bands and biggest influences, so to be able to go on tour with them is not only a good opportunity and a great honor — it's a dream come true for heavy metal fans like us!

"When we got the offer, we were absolutely speechless, but it was a no-brainer...

"We're really looking forward to getting back to Continental Europe to see all our fans and friends again, and hopefully meet a lot of new ones.

"The recordings of our second album might get pushed back a bit as a result of this, but we will definitely deliver it in 2011, so stay tuned, crank the metal and we'll see you all very soon!"
