“My wish. to form an ACCEPT tribute band. "It already existed in 2005, but unfortunately I couldn't find a suitable singer at the time" (quote from Jens). So I first had to take a detour through various cover bands in which one or two Accept songs were played

In spring 2017, a singer advertised on a musicians' platform. He's looking for a band, vocally he feels most comfortable with AC/DC and Accept Songs. I didn't hesitate and called him - we soon met for a beer and finally founded an ACCEPT tribute band. Almost at the same time, a drummer and a guitarist advertised that they were looking for collaborators for an Accept Cover Band. Now a suitable bass player was missing, who was soon found in Hajo Tinnes and the first rehearsals began.

Unfortunately it turned out that the singer wasn't very suitable, so a replacement had to be found because the project shouldn't die.

There were advertisements on various platforms and one day Jens received a message on Facebook from a certain Norman from Thuringia - he wrote that he had read the advertisement and was interested in singing Accept Songs. “He sent me some tracks that he had recently recorded in the studio and I thought I wasn't listening - he actually sounds like Dirkschneider.” (Zit Jens)

Jens wrote back to him saying that the distance between Schmiedefeld in Thuringia and Saarland made a meeting impossible?! But Norman said - "it's no problem for him, it's only 500 km" - so he comes. A few weeks later they were in the rehearsal room in Saarbrücken and performed the first pieces. Everyone in the rehearsal room had a big grin on their faces, the whole thing sounded so close to the original. Now it was finally complete and the serious rehearsals began. A set list for the support band was soon recorded and studio recordings and band photos followed. In spring 2019 we played our first gigs, including at the R.U.D.E (Rock unter den Eichen) festival near Magdeburg in support of SODOM.

An unforgettable show with the classics of the German metal band of the 80s. ACCEPT - performed by METAL HEART.
