ACCEPT: Malm Footage Available

July 12, 2011

Fan-filmed video footage of reformed heavy metal legends ACCEPT performing their classic song "Fast As A Shark" on July 11, 2011 at Kulturbolaget in Malm, Sweden can be viewed below.

ACCEPT will have its performance at this year's edition of the Bang Your Head!!! festival in Germany filmed for a future DVD release.

Commented ACCEPT's manager Gaby Hoffmann (who is also married to the band's guitarist, Wolf Hoffmann): "The show in Balingen is the only one in the new life of ACCEPT that is going to be filmed! I expect the Bang Your Head!!! to be both the ending and the highlight of ACCEPT's exciting comeback. Neither one of us or the people who helped us expected ACCEPT to be welcomed by the fans in this way. We're grateful and happier than anyone else and would like to close this chapter with a cinematic documentation which shall capture the atmosphere in Balingen."

ACCEPT's appearance at the Bang Your Head!!! festival which is scheduled to take place July 15-16 in Balingen, Germany will mark a return to a five-piece format after the band spent the last couple of months touring as a quartet due to the fact that the band's guitarist, Herman Frank suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung in a stage fall on May 6 in San Antonio.

ACCEPT's latest album, "Blood Of The Nations", was released in North America on September 14, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records. Recorded at Backstage Studio in Derbyshire, England with acclaimed British producer and SABBAT guitarist Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, EXODUS, ARCH ENEMY, MASTERPLAN),the CD marks the debut of the band's latest addition, vocalist Mark Tornillo (ex-TT QUICK).

ACCEPT 2011 is:
