Accept, who doesn`t know these German guys? If you`re a metal freak, then there is no way that you have never heard of the band which influenced the Teutonic metalscene like no one else did. Nuclear Blast found 16 bands to perform songs from Accept and released them on this "A Tribute To Accept" record. Some names are Agentsteel ("Demon`s Night"), Spiral Tower ("TV War"), Darkane ("Restless & Wild") and Godgory ("Princess Of The Dawn").

Even vocalist Udo Dirkschneider contributes to this cd (U.D.O. does "XTC"). Most of the times with these tribute albums, bands just copy the original and that`s that. Luckily enough, bands like the ones mentioned before and also Breaker ("Breaker"), Rough Silk ("Screaming For A Lovebite") and Therion ("Seawinds") tried to add something to it and reshape the original composition. Cool album!
