Nun hat sich Eddie Trunk von VH 1 Classics dazu geäußert.
Eddie, der die Show (“Friday Night Rocks”, on New York's Q104.3 FM) moderiert und ein guter Freund von Mark Tornillo ist, zu dem neuen Material geäußert.
Auf seiner Website postete er folgendes dazu:

“[I] had a visit to my house [at the end of December] by my old friend and new ACCEPT singer Mark Tornillo. Mark was nice enough to drop in and play for me early versions of songs from the new album the band is recording with producer Andy Sneap.

“This is the band's first studio album with Mark as singer and will be out [in] early [2010].

“Taking my friendship with Mark out of this review, I can honestly say what I heard was simply killer! I heard seven tracks and they all smoked. Those brutal Wolf Hoffmann riffs are in full force as is that killer tone and all the signature ACCEPT sounds and choruses.

“Mark is a perfect fit. He captures the classic ACCEPT sound with his vocals and screams, but also very much adds his own stamp to what I heard.

“There is nothing here for the fans of classic ACCEPT not to love, and plenty of new things Mark brings to the table that are unique to him.

“Fans of TT QUICK will know what Mark is about and how he really will do a great job as a member of this band.

“The songs I heard were not complete but still very solid. Titles included 'The Abyss', 'Locked & Loaded' (uptempo fast song), 'Shades Of Death' (epic, killer drums and vocals with classical touches), 'No Shelter' (another fast one), 'Blood Of Nations' (for the military), 'Pandemic' (classic ACCEPT!), 'Teutonic Terror' (possible title of the album).

“I am fully aware of how important [former ACCEPT singer] Udo [Dirkschneider] was to the sound of this band, but he did not want to be a part of this, so I am thrilled that ACCEPT are back and thrilled for Mark as well. He brings his style which meshes perfect with classic ACCEPT. The playing is top notch and the production even at this stage was crushing.

“I cannot wait for the completed album, and without question, the return of ACCEPT is something to look forward to for metal fans in 2010!”

Wir können also alle gespannt sein, wann auch wir nun endlich was auf die Ohren bekommen.
