Friday, September 8: Accept, "Bucket Full of Hate"

By the time “Bucket Full of Hate” closed Blood of the Nations, Accept had fully proven they were once again a viable and vital act: 14 years after Predator capped their first reunion in rather hapless fashion, Wolf Hoffmann and Peter Baltes more than proved they could not only function as Accept without Udo Dirkschneider, but actually thrive.  Perhaps best and most of all, Mark Tornillo assumed the frontman role with total confidence and hunger, positioning himself as the most logical choice to resurrect the brand and ensuring that nobody would bring up David Reece or Eat the Heat.  And like the rest of the album, “Bucket Full of Hate” was a chunky, loud, aggressive and efficient crusher with classic gang vocals, grooving but unyielding drumming and thick riffing that burst out of speakers thanks to crystalline (maybe too much so) production from Andy Sneap.  It didn’t reinvent anything for Accept, and along with the rest of Blood of the Nations its rapturous reception was a bit overstated, but it was the first time in a very long time that there was new Accept music that could at least stand alongside their classic work, and more to the point it achieved its primary objective, which was to show that these guys could still show up and deliver the goods, even without their iconic frontman.

Wednesday, March 8: Accept, “D-Train” [ENCORE]

The Today’s Metal Tune tumblr launched March 3, 2014.  To celebrate 9 years of METAL, this week we are revisiting some past favorites, showcasing memorable deep cuts from legendary and semi-legendary acts. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s followed, liked, reblogged and commented over the years, there is still a lot more metal to come…

Eat the Heat will forever be the black eye staining Accept’s otherwise stellar career, for reasons both fair and not.  While it was frequently awkward and occasionally hapless in its attempts at reaching for the mainstream, when stacked up against the totality of the band’s discography it proved to actually be less embarrassing than some of their their mid-‘90s “reunion” efforts.  And for that matter, it didn’t fall back on formula, which couldn’t be said of their most recent efforts.  But while the criticism about Eat the Heat being overtly commercial was entirely fair (the band freely admitted this), Accept’s idiosyncratic nature still popped out fairly often- “D-Train" was totally frantic and OTT, with hyper-caffeinated double-bass drumming and singer David Reece yelping like he was mid-seizure. It was a totally ridiculous track, in the best possible way: Dieter Dierks’ production was all clatter, adding to the cacophony of Stefan Kaufmann’s bashing and Wolf Hoffmann’s shredding, to say nothing of the senseless oohs and ahhs in the backing vocals. “D-Train” was a relentless headbanger that had absolutely no idea why it existed, and that was a big part of its charm.
