A Tribute to Accept

by

Various Artists

Edit

Nuclear Blast Records managed to get lots of well-known good bands for this tribute to the best rock band ever. One of the best is Steel Prophet's rendition of "Fast As A Shark", which features the "heidi heido heida" intro played on electric guitar & also ends with the intro to "Restless & Wild". Dimmu Borgir's rendition of "Metal Heart" is awesome also, its like the original version except it has a different (very good) guitar solo. Primal Fear does an awesome rendition of Breaker also (Ralf Scheepers is one of the few vocalists who's nearly as good as Udo). Sinner's entry is also good, it doesn't add much to the song, but it's played good & the singer is great. There are a few weak ones (most notably Atrocity's rendition of "Shake Your Heads" which replaces Accept's melodies with one simple riff played repeatedly throughout the entire songs, as well as some needless synth playing, and Sacred Steel's rendition of "Fight It Back" which is pretty much an exact copy of the original done in horrible thin guitar tones & ridiculous squeaky vocals) but they're outweighed by the good renditions. I'd recommend buying it.
