Reviews ACCEPT Too Mean To Die The first album you’ll need to buy in 2021 will be ACCEPT’s Too Mean To Die, which will be released by Nuclear Blast on January 15th. TMTD is the fifth studio album featuring vocalist Mark Tornillo, and follows suit with the previous four albums as far as songwriting, production and quality goes. The album features founder/guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, along with returning second guitarist Uwe Lulis and drummer Christopher Williams. New bassist Martin Motnik (CODE OF PERFECTION) and third guitarist Philip Shouse (ACE FREHLEY, GENE SIMMONS) complete the lineup.  “Zombie Apocalypse” starts the album off with aggression; this is a solid leading track, with memorable performances from every member. The title track “Too Mean To Die” follows, truly a heavy metal anthem, and features occasional double bass drumming from Christopher, and sweet riffage and gang vocals from the band. “Overnight Sensation” is a highlight track, and will get fists pumping for sure. I love the backing yells in the chorus – that’s classic ACCEPT my friend. Featuring 11 tracks, and a cover that ranks up there with Y&T’s Mean Streak for badassery, TMTD makes this statement: ACCEPT are still here, they are still kicking ass, and they aren’t going away anytime soon. They’re too mean to die! If you’ve enjoyed the previous four albums with Mark on vocals, you’ll like this album. The production and mix were once again done by longtime collaborator Andy Sneap. ACCEPT aren’t reinventing the wheel, but despite lineup changes, the quality standards are still high and this album is yet another winner for the band. |

German/American metal legends ACCEPT have released the official visualizer video for their new single, "Zombie Apocalypse". The track is taken from the band's upcoming album, "Too Mean To Die", which will be made available on January 29 (postponed two weeks from the previously announced January 15) via Nuclear Blast. The LP will be the group's first without bassist Peter Baltes, who exited ACCEPT in November 2018. He has since been replaced by Martin Motnik. ACCEPT's lineup has also been expanded with the addition of a third guitarist, Philip Shouse, who originally filled in for Uwe Lulis during 2019's "Symphonic Terror" tour, before being asked to join the band permanently.
ACCEPT singer Mark Tornillo stated about the single: "They're everywhere, they can't put them (mobile phones) down. They can't keep them charged; they can't take their eyes off the screen! It's a zombie apocalypse!"
"Too Mean To Die" was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with British producer Andy Sneap (JUDAS PRIEST, MEGADETH), who has been responsible for the magnificent studio sound of ACCEPT since 2010.
ACCEPT guitarist Wolf Hoffmann recently told France's Loud TV about the "Too Mean To Die" album title: "It's more or less our answer to the whole corona vibe in the land, in the world. Of course, it's not meant serious — we said, 'We're too mean to die. We can't be bothered by any little virus that's out there.' Of course, it's not meant to be totally serious. But it sounded like a metal album, it sounded like a metal title, and we liked it. So we decided to go that route and give the metal fans a fresh and in-your-face sort of statement and a metal album that doesn't really deal with anything corona-related. 'Cause I think people had enough of all the corona stuff by now. It's time to move on."
Regarding ACCEPT's decision to release "Too Mean To Die" during the COVID-19 pandemic, Wolf said: "It's gonna be a while until we can do a proper headlining tour. But we decided to go ahead and release it, because maybe fans will enjoy it now that they're in lockdown, and maybe it's gonna take their mind off everything. And it's better than waiting until who knows when — until we can tour again. So let's have the album out now. Fans can enjoy it and listen to it, and then one day we'll be on tour and we'll meet each other again."
