Two of these legendary acts have graced our shores several times but now finally Australia gets to witness the might of the\u00a0<strong>\u201cTeutonic Terror\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0themselves for the very first time as\u00a0<strong>ACCEPT<\/strong>\u00a0are set to arrive in November 2014. Their anthems of steel are known worldwide and are often cited as one of the earliest innovators of Speed Metal with their track<strong>\u00a0\u201cFast As A Shark\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>putting the pedal to the metal like no other before them.<\/p>\n<p>We chatted to the legendary Wolf Hoffmann of Accept about the band\u2019s upcoming first ever tour of Australia, their new album \u2018Blind Rage\u2019 and much more\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;re coming to Australia for the first time, after so long as a band what has taken so long to get here?<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah that\u2019s the big secret why it took so long, we should\u2019ve been there twenty years ago at least, I don\u2019t know Australia is pretty damn far away, I don\u2019t know\u2026 it\u2019s not around the corner from anywhere else that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So when coming to a country for the first time, is it hard putting together the set list?<\/strong><br \/>\nyeah a little bit because we don\u2019t really know if maybe some songs are mostly popular in Australia that we\u2019ve never heard about before, but we have a pretty good idea of what fans want to hear worldwide, and I can\u2019t imagine it\u2019s very different in Australia, but it might be, you never know\u2026 I think we\u2019ll be doing alright, well bring a lot of the old time classic songs from the 80\u2019s and a good dose of the last three albums with Mark Tornillo so it should be a good mix.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you most looking forward to about coming to Australia?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s not the long flight I tell you that\u2026 seeing it all and meeting different people and seeing a different country for the first time, it\u2019s quite exciting. I want to shake a Kangaroo\u2019s hand if I can.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe a typical Accept show in three words&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nHigh Energy, that\u2019s two words but that\u2019s alright, I mean we have a lot of fun on stage, not in a goofy way, but we really enjoy what we\u2019re doing and I think that really comes across. Peter and I have been doing this for so long together that we have an understanding when it comes to the live shows and song writing really.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve also just released your newest album &#8216;Blind Rage&#8217; why was that the perfect name for it and what does it represent to you?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s just a name and seemed to go well with the artwork, we really love the cover of that steaming anger coming out of the nostrils of that bull and that bull represents that pure energy and power and aggression that metal is and it just seemed to be the perfect fit for us. Then it was just a matter of finding a good title that hasn\u2019t been used before, and none of the songs that we had was really working for us so we chose Blind Range, simple as that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What inspires you these days to write the songs?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell musically it\u2019s always about riffs and grooves, it mostly starts with riffs because we just like playing metal riffs, it\u2019s a lot of fun and we have a gazillion ideas like that, but we\u2019re still quite a long ways from a full song, and then you think what is this song going to be about, then once you have an idea of what it could be about, everything gets a whole lot easier, and whatever the stories you\u2019re telling or talking about that sometimes comes from the newspaper, watching the news, reading a book, a conversation, anything really, it\u2019s like that\u2019s a cool idea I could write a song about that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In terms of still creating music and the evolution of technology over the years, what for you has been the most notable change in the way Accept makes music?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe tools have changed but the basic process is still exactly as it was thirty five years ago, somewhere along the way when to comes to writing the songs you\u2019re pretty much alone there, then I always go to Peter and the two of us compare notes and playing each other\u2019s parts that we recorded independently and then we work it out together the two of us until we have a song that we both like and like I said earlier we have a blind understanding and not a lot of words need to be said, the work goes actually quite fast when we lock ourselves into a room. The tools and how we record is dramatically different, back then it was for demo purposes it was cassette recorders which are no longer around, now everything is computers and macs and pro-tools, it\u2019s a bit fancier but it doesn\u2019t give you better ideas just because you record on fancier tools, it\u2019s still about the song, if you\u2019ve got a crap song all that stuff doesn\u2019t help you with anything. So the core essence is all about the song, does that melody grab you, or that vocal line or that guitar lick, is that something that people will hang on and grab on to or is it just something forgettable. The other way is you can have the crappiest sound and the crappiest producer and as long as the song is good it will always come across.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And you worked again with Andy Sneap as producer, what is it that he brings to the band that you love?<\/strong><br \/>\nFirst of all a good understanding of what Accept should sound like, and he of course is a superb producer he gets an amazing drum and guitar sound and all that kind of stuff, he\u2019s really a good guy to work with and feels like he\u2019s got a good sense of humour and he\u2019s like a team member of Accept as an outside producer. He\u2019s totally down to earth and super nice guy, he loves his Hell project, when we started he was really missing going out to do a live show, he\u2019s actually a really good guitar player as well, he\u2019s quite a talented all round guy, super down to Earth and we talk quite frequently actually, even when we\u2019re not working together we sort of skype or whatever, we do face time quite frequently actually. *laughs*<\/p>\n<p><strong>I have to ask about &#8216;Balls to The Wall&#8217; which is now over 30 years old, do you still get the same buzz playing it now as you did when you first released it?<\/strong><br \/>\nNot so much in the rehearsal room, I would never pick that song and jam on it, but when it\u2019s in front of an audience heck yeah, because it\u2019s usually the highlight of the night, everyone starts chanting along and getting into the choruses and the house comes down and it\u2019s quite amazing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I remember getting guitar hero and &#8216;Balls to The Wall&#8217; was on it, now I knew the song of course, but did you find that those that didn&#8217;t know of the band before got somewhat introduced to you from the video game?<\/strong><br \/>\nA little bit, there was a little bit of a buzz back then, everyone was talking guitar hero back then, I\u2019ve never personally played it but I remember it was quite a big deal there for a while.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Touring wise over the last few years you guys have been busy with some big festivals and plenty of shows, what&#8217;s your favourite thing about the live aspect of Accept?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s something quite magic when you go out there and you live for the moment, in the studio everything is for eternity and you start thinking in those terms because I better be careful what I put down on this album because I have to live with it forever and ever, where with the live show it\u2019s just for now, for nothing else, for that one moment and time goes by real quick on stage and you kind of forget everything else and it\u2019s quite an experience. It\u2019s weird *laughs* you walk on stage and before you wake up the show is over, and you don\u2019t even think about the time, it never feels like two hours, sometimes you drift away in your thoughts, you wake up and it\u2019s all over, it\u2019s weird. Especially when you\u2019re on tour as routine kicks in and you\u2019re almost on auto pilot, and you\u2019re really enjoying it then as you don\u2019t have to think about it much anymore, when it\u2019s the first show in a long time you tend to be concentrating on what you have to play, what song comes next, this lead break or that one, you start thinking more. The longer you do it, and the longer you play you can just let go and enjoy the moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This will be hard to do, but over your entire career so far, has there been one moment that stands out for you that you always look back at most fondly?<\/strong><br \/>\nOh\u2026 quite a few, as you can imagine there\u2019s one incident that stands out above the rest, but there\u2019s certain highlights, certain shows that we all remember, maybe it was the first time this, or the first time that, or the biggest this\u2026 there\u2019s been so many, let me pick out a few here. Just a couple of weeks ago we did probably the biggest show in our lives, was in front of 750,000 people in Poland and that will always stand out. Then we played a couple of shows with AC\/DC a couple of years ago in front of huge crowds, and being on AC\/DC\u2019s stage opening up for them was a huge honour for us and makes everything come full circle because we\u2019ve been AC\/DC fans for all these years since the late 70\u2019s, and actually recorded one of the songs that was written by one of the Young brothers for AC\/DC, we ended up recording it, it\u2019s called \u2018I\u2019m a Rebel\u2019 so it\u2019s always been a strong AC\/DC connection in our band, so to finally be on the stage with them was quite amazing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve been there from the start, seen it all and done it all,\u00a0what do you still enjoy about being a part of this band all these years?<\/strong><br \/>\nOh, just about everything really\u2026 so many aspects, it\u2019s not just one thing, I enjoy the song writing process for what it is because it\u2019s quite a magical creative time, I enjoy the satisfaction of doing something meaningful to fans around the world and talking to people about how much this music means to them and getting positive feedback on what you\u2019re doing is quite fulfilling. Then there\u2019s also a band is also like a company in a way and just to see it grow and get bigger and better at what you do is a lot of fun, so there\u2019s that aspect these days, the business side of things that I\u2019m not so involved in but we\u2019re sort of a family operated business, we have a lot to do with that aspect as well, it\u2019s just fun to see it grow and get better and the tours taking shape, that\u2019s fun to build it back up, because we built it from scratch about five years ago when we decided to regroup the band with Mark Tornillo, we didn\u2019t really have any anything anymore, we didn\u2019t have a label, shows booked or nothing, just an idea, then just to see it grow into what it\u2019s become now over a few years is quite amazing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well done for doing that, many bands couldn\u2019t have done that and here you are now with three albums with Mark\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah, I think we\u2019re quite unique in that aspect that\u2019s what everyone tells us because a lot of bands that regroup just play their old songs and cash in and take it easy you know what I mean? They don\u2019t force themselves to make new relevant albums, or if they make an album it\u2019s usually not as good as what they\u2019ve done in the past, in our case a lot of fans are telling us they like this new phase as good and even better than some of the old stuff, so that makes us totally proud of course and NOW we\u2019re coming to Australia to sum it all up, imagine that, it\u2019s like the pinnacle! *laughs* After that I don\u2019t know what we can possibly achieve\u2026 maybe China would be it and India or South Africa\u2026 *laughs*<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lastly finish this sentence for me, by the end of 2014, Accept will&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nTake a good well deserved break because we\u2019d have been on the road for three months straight by then, and hopefully this album will do good things, I\u2019ve got a good feeling so far that all the signs are positive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Catch Accept on tour in Australia at the following dates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>November 2014<\/strong><br \/>\nFriday 14th @ Factory Theatre \u2013 Sydney<br \/>\nSaturday 15th @ The Corner Hotel \u2013 Melbourne \u2013 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">SOLD OUT<\/span><br \/>\nSunday 16th @ The Hi Fi \u2013 Brisbane<br \/>\nMonday 17th @ The Corner Hotel \u2013 Melbourne<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metropolistouring.com\/tour.php?tour=2014_accept\">Book your tickets HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong><br \/>\nEssential information<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>From: <\/strong>Germany<\/p>\n<p><strong>Band members:<\/strong>\u00a0 Wolf Hoffmann &#8211; Guitar Peter Baltes &#8211; Bass Mark Tornillo &#8211; Vocals Herman Frank &#8211; Guitar Stefan Schwarzmann &#8211; Drums<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current Release:<\/strong> Blind Rage &#8211;<strong> <\/strong>(Nuclear Blast)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.acceptwordwide.com\/\">http:\/\/www.acceptwordwide.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThere\u2019s something quite magic when you go out there and you live for the moment, in the studio everything is for eternity and you start thinking in those terms because I better be careful what I put down on this album because I have to live with it forever and ever, where with the live show it\u2019s just for now, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23290,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4617,5,4],"tags":[846,4132,5030,4737,253,5029],"class_list":["post-23289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-4617","category-features","category-interviews","tag-accept","tag-axiom-touring","tag-blind-rage","tag-bulletproof-au","tag-nuclear-blast","tag-wolf-hoffmann"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
