Former ACCEPT frontman David Reece has inked a deal with El Puerto Records for the release of his next solo album.

We are stoked to the max and can't wait to bring this masterpiece to life!" Reece's latest solo album, "Resilient Heart", was released last November through Mighty Music. The follow-up to 2013's "Compromise" featured Reece alongside Danish musicians Marco Angioni (guitar), Martin J. Andersen (guitar), Malte Frederik Burkert (bass) and Sigurd J. Jensen (drums).
