Well I'm pleased to announced, no actually, absolutely thrilled to announce I'll be flying to Nashville next month to meet up with Wolf Hoffmann to discuss production, songs etc for the upcoming Accept album.
Anyone who knows me will know what a fan of Accept I am, even after getting kicked off UDO's first european tour after 2 dates (for being too heavy I'd like to add), I still think they were/are such a killer band and although there's no UDO or Stefan K, I personally think its great that Wolf, Peter and Herman are still playing together along with Stefan and Mark.
This actually came together through a mutual friend, Ed Aborn who runs the Fozzy website and also does some work for Wolf. When I first met Ed back in 2001 we got onto the subject of Accept and basically we've never stopped talking about it.
So this has come about through a bit of nudging and me going "over here with that album" and it turns out they are as excited about the idea as I am.
I'm also looking forward to doing some classic metal as opposed to out and out thrash and I think this could be a really heavy record if thats the direction the band want to go in.
This of course is yet to be discussed and the whole reason why I'm clocking up yet more air miles next month.
