The debut outing from the Mark Tornillo fronted ACCEPT is equal in all aspects to their classic work from the 80's. Crushing riffs, heavy production, and screaming vocals team with mature, grown up lyric content to create a vital, contemporary band. If you liked Balls to the Wall and Metal Heart, you will enjoy Blood of the Nations. And by all means, go see them live!

When I first heard the music on this CD I cried tears of PURE JOY!!! I liken the feeling to being reunited with the great love of your life after a long separation. I thought ACCEPT was no more. Then I got word that not only were they back, they'd released an incredible new CD. Being a huge fan since the beginning, I had to check it out. For those few that don't yet know it, Udo declined to join the guys for this one. Sorry, Udo--your loss. The helm has been taken over by Mark Tornillo (yes, THAT Mark) from TT Quick ("Metal of Honor", "Front Burner") and I must say, he is a perfect fit. Now, Wolf, Herman, Peter, and Stefan are very accomplished and celebrated musicians in their own right. Mark brings that extra-special something extra to the table. His vocals are just as solid and strong as ever. This album is all killer, no filler. Classically structured songs with thought-provoking lyrics, meaty, heavy riffs and soaring, emotional solos--a trademark combination that is executed flawlessly with this release. No ACCEPT fan, no metal fan, indeed, should be without this in their collection. IT IS THAT GOOD!Read full review
Yeah, UDO is gone but you won't miss him as their new vocalist is even better, yes better! Moreover, this album is even better than 'Balls to the Wall' - if you like Avenged Sevenfold you're going to love the new Accept!!!

WOW!! WHEN I HEARD ACCEPT MADE A COMEBACK, I KNEW I HAD TO GET ALL THEIR NEW CD'S. ALTHOUGH BLOOD OF THE NATIONS WAS THE FIRST ONE, I DID IT IN REVERSE ORDER. NOW THAT I HAVE ALL 4, HERE IS MY REVIEW. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OPINION ON THESE ALBUMS. AFTER TRYING ALL 4 MANY TIMES- BLOOD OF NATIONS IS THE BEST OF THE 4. IT HAS 13 KILLER TRACKS (1 IS A BONUS TRACK), EVEN IT IS GOOD! UDO IS GONE, BUT DON'T WORRY, MARK TORNILLO IS JUST AS GOOD, OR BETTER! EVERY SONG IS GOOD, NO FILLER. OF THE 4, IT IS THE CLEAR WINNER! IF YOU JUST WANT TO TRY 1 BEFORE YOU GET THEM ALL, YOU NEED TO BUY BLIND RAGE WITH THE DVD LIVE IN CHILE 2013! BLIND RAGE IS #2 OF THE 4, BUT THE DVD CONCERT IS 2 HOURS OF THEIR GREATEST HITS (BEST METAL CONCERT SINCE THE BIG 4 IN 2010). IT HAS 21 OF THE HITS FROM THE 80'S TILL 2013. THE DVD IS THE BEST OF ANYTHING THEY HAVE EVER RECORDED!! THAT'S THE REASON I BOUGHT THE OTHER 3! STALINGRAD IS A CLOSE 3RD, WITH RISE OF CHAOS #4 ( IT MIGHT GROW ON ME). ACCEPT IS MY FAVORITE METAL BAND, AND I'M OLD SCHOOL. IF YOU TRY 1, YOU WILL WANT THE REST. YOU CAN TRY THEM FREE ON YOU-TUBE, BUT YOU WILL LOVE ACCEPT. THEY ARE THE MOST OVERLOOKED, AND UNDER RATED ROCK BAND EVER!! PEACE OUT!Read full review

ACCEPT IS BACK WITH A VENGANCE. UDO DECLINED TO BE THE SINGER, BUT HIS REPLACEMENT MARK IS AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER. THIS IS OLD ACCEPT BEFORE THE COMMERCIAL METAL HEART CD. THE HOOKS,LYRICS, DEEP B.VOCALS, THE RIFFS. THE POUNDING SKINS. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY OLD SCHOOL ACCEPT FAN. MARK FITS THIS BAND VERY WELL. A VERY GREAT RANGE FROM LOW TO HIGH OCTAVES. THIS IS A HEAVY METAL ALBUM. FINALLY A BAND FROM THE OLD SCHOOL LISTENED TO WHAT MADE THEM AND INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING TODAYS TREND, WHICH 80'S AND 90'S BAND NEVER CAPTURE ANYWAY. ACCEPT WENT BACK TO THE BLUE PRINT WHAT MADE HEAVY METAL, HEAVY METAL. THIS ALBUM IS NO JOKE. TRACK 1-13 ALL GREAT SONGS, NOT JUST 2 SONGS AND REST GARBAGE. THIS IS AN AAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ HEAVY A;BUM. WELCOME BACK ACCEPT. THANKS THAT METAL SHOW ON VH1 CLASSIC FOR LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT THIS. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM LIVE.Read full review
