Accept have put out a video for their newly re-recorded version of their enduring metal anthem “Balls To The Wall“. This new take finds them joined by a veritable metal god in Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford. Outside of that Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer, the German heavy metal outfit have also welcomed Matthias Jabs of Scorpions fame on guitar, Pantera‘s Rex Brown on bass and Bullet For My Valentine‘s Jason Bowld on drums. This take on the song is part of a new compilation dubbed “Teutonic Titans 1976-2026“. That effort finds the band joined by various friends and fans, including members of Metallica, Pantera, Ghost, Korn and many more.
Accept‘s guitarist/vocalist Wolf Hoffmann said of getting to work with the aforementioned guests:
“Rob is the Metal God. I don’t need to say any more about him. Once we knew that he would do it, it was an obvious choice to give him ‘Balls to the Wall‘ because it’s the best fit imaginable! I played all the rhythm guitars. Matthias Jabs from Scorpions played the solo, which is very cool and a huge honor, and it’s Rex Brown on bass and Jason Bowld on drums. So that’s a really cool package.”
“Teutonic Titans 1976-2026” is part of the band’s 50th anniversary celebrations and will be out on September 04th.
