ACCEPT ANNOUNCE DOCUMENTARY PLANS AND ASK FANS TO PARTICIPATE IN ITS MAKING:
This year, German metal legends Accept are headlining European festivals, preparing a new album as well as working on their first live DVD and CD featuring Wolf Hoffmann, Peter Baltes, Mark Tornillo, Herman Frank & Stefan Schwarzmann.
The Teutonic Metal band has touched the lives of so many fans and
musicians alike along the way in their 30+ year career. Having inspired
legions of fans with songs like Fast As A Shark and Metal Heart; Accept
helped create the Speed Metal genre. This time, however, it is the band
that is inspired by the fans. With the making of new music on the
horizon and their busy schedule, the band is eager to share even more of
themselves with their loyal following by announcing the making of the
first official Accept documentary. From their humble beginnings as a
garage band in their German home town of Solingen in the late 70s, their
80s Balls To The Wall glory days, and all the way up their most
successful re-incarnation with power house vocalist Mark Tornillo. This is a very proud and important moment for the 'German Heavy Metal Band'.
Accept invites everybody who has ever crossed paths with the band to head over to their official Facebook page (www.facebook.com/accepttheband):
To submit pictures, letters, recordings, videos, films, memorabilia,
stories, simply anything and everything Accept. We invite producers,
music industry professionals, promoters, writers, photographers,
families, friends, and other musicians whether you've stayed connected
with or only passed through the doors to participate - including a
special invitation to (our former frontman) Udo and all the musicians
who have been performing Accept songs for more than 30 years.
If you were deeply touched by whatever Accept
was and is, you are invited to contribute to the archives which will be
used for the long awaited and forthcoming Accept documentary. Many have
had their lives influenced and changed and enriched by Accept including
Lasse in Sweden for instance, who owns the largest Accept memorabilia
collection on the planet. "These are our heroes and we owe them the recognition and a place in Accept's documented history," says guitarist Wolf Hoffmann.
Helming the project will be Stefan Kaufmann. Under his command
(as an expert of Accept's history) and alongside the band, he will whip
the project into shape in order to capture the legacy for all. Peter
Baltes adds, "This is not the story of one musician or their
'personal success'; it is ultimately about a band from Germany who
defined and inspired more than one music genre."
Fans can submit their material via the Accept Facebook page www.facebook.com/Accepttheband including posting on the Accept Facebook wall all or by sending a Facebook Message or by emailing the band at: acceptology@gmail.com.
Remember Accept is looking for: Live photos, stories of meeting the
band, fan gatherings, tattoos, ticket stubs, ads (print/audio/video),
artwork, collectibles, various merchandise, t-shirts, denim jackets,
magazine covers, magazine articles and so much more."
