Accept – “Restless and Live” [Album Review]

The hard-hitting German band, Accept, has been rocking the masses for over four decades with their brand of heavy metal. In fact, when their first album was released, I barely had a full head of hair, and just got out of diapers. Now, with their latest release, Restless and Live, I barely have a full head of hair, and I have thought about buying me some adult diapers. On a serious note, although there have been some serious lineup changes throughout the years, this group, still has that same commanding quality it did when they fired off “Balls to the Wall” some thirty plus years ago.

When you hear the Wolf Hoffman’s guitar riffs, you know it is going to get down and dirty. Although you cannot deny the greatness of vocalist, Udo Dirkschneider, the voice of Mark Tornillo is top-notch as well.

This double CD and DVD combo gets the Accept fan up close and personal with the band. You get a taste of some of their older, ripping tunes, as well as some new tracks. It is over two hours of nonstop intensity and a must-have for any die-hard fans of the band.
