Even after over 40 years, ACCEPT remains one of the leading forces in the worldwide heavy metal scene, performing once again at the most important rock and metal festivals in summer 2024, including legendary Wacken Open Air and Hellfest.
The band will begin their South American headline tour next week! This autumn, European fans will be treated to more than 20 ACCEPT shows across the continent, with Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons and Sister Sin as special guests.

ACCEPT on “Frankenstein”:
"The story of Frankenstein is old and yet still relevant. The monster is created without being asked. Frankenstein is a human being and yet he is hated and feared by everyone."
Watch the Captivating Lyric Video for “Frankenstein” HERE:
“On Humanoid, ACCEPT once again succeed in channeling the essence of heavy metal: Cutting riffs, sublime solos, big melodies. Must be heard loud!” - Metal Hammer Germany -
“Humanoid features 11 songs that show the band performing at a high level, matching the lofty standards set by the modern heavy metal scene.” - Decibel -
Once again finalized by leading metal producer Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Amon Amarth, Testament, Saxon, etc.) at his Backstage Recording Studios Ltd. in Derbyshire, UK, Humanoid is a towering musical achievement and another world class entry in the ACCEPT catalog, certain to rally fans from around the world. Humanoid will be available in various formats worldwide, some of them strictly limited.
Humanoid joins absolute genre classics like Balls To The Wall, certified Gold in USA and Canada, Metal Heart, and newer masterpieces like Blood of the Nations and the #1 charting album Blind Rage. Their albums regularly place in national Top 10 sales charts, with global sales in excess of 17 million to date.
Pre-Order Your Copy of Humanoid NOW:
ACCEPT have never shied away from hot button issues, and this album is no exception. Yet the band’s 17th studio album is certainly not a concept album. It deals with topics like AI and how our reliance on technology is gradually stripping away our individuality. ACCEPT offers a warning in this new album and title track single Humanoid. Since singer Mark Tornillo will never be an advocate for the digital age, he counterbalances the title track with raw emotions, frailties, significant Rites of Passage we encounter on the path of life and characteristics that make us uniquely human: feeling uncomfortable, getting older, dealing with hurt, disappointment, and the final stop for everyone: death.
