Accept Balls To The Wall (1983) (1990, Rca, ND 74472)

This is a great compilation of the legendary German metal band Accept's earlier, best years! These were arguably the best years of the Heavy Metal genre, when power riffs, well structured and technical lead guitar work, and powerful vocals ruled the day. If you like REAL metal, get this!

Udo Dirkschneider has done a very cool thing and recreated the classic Accept album Balls to the Wall to celebrate it’s 40th anniversary with the help of some excellent friends, and it’s pretty damn amazing. Let’s start with Joakim Broden of Sabaton’s duet on the opener “Balls to the Wall”; what a great remake with a darker vocal style. The music is very faithful to the original recording, with precision heavy guitars, bass and drums punching hard, and great vocal duets.
