Heavy Metal Supergroup: Accept Celebrates 50 Years with Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, and Mikkey Dee on New "Fast As A Shark" Recording

To celebrate half a century of heavy metal dominance, German legends Accept have announced their most ambitious project to date: Teutonic Titans 1976–2026. This landmark release, set to arrive on September 4 via Napalm Records, features 19 reimagined classics with a staggering list of 50 guest musicians from the elite of the metal world.

The lead single, a blistering new version of the speed metal anthem "Fast As A Shark," features a once-in-a-lifetime supergroup lineup. Joining guitarist Wolf Hoffmann are Philip Anselmo (Pantera) on vocals, Kirk Hammett (Metallica) on lead guitar, Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big) on bass, and Mikkey Dee (Scorpions/Motörhead) on drums.

A Half-Century of Teutonic Terror

"There is no better way to celebrate this 50-year anniversary than to have our musical peers and friends come together with us," says Wolf Hoffmann. The album doesn't stop there; other tracks feature icons like Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Tobias Forge (Ghost), and Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), making this the ultimate tribute to Accept's enduring legacy.

For fans of the band’s storied history, this is more than just a re-recording; it’s a manifesto of metal’s global brotherhood. Pre-orders are now live, and the world is ready to witness the return of the Teutonic Titans in their most powerful form yet.
