Accept release new re-recorded version of ‘Fast as a Shark’
ACCEPT have released a new single!
The new track, Fast As A Shark, is a reworked version of the German heavy metal legends’ classic song, originally released on 1982’s Restless And Wild, and marks the first release from their upcoming album Teutonic Titans 1976–2026, which is scheduled to be released on September 4th via Napalm Records.
The new rendition features a star-studded lineup including Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, Mikkey Dee, and Billy Sheehan alongside ACCEPT’s Wolf Hoffmann and Mark Tornillo.
Speaking about the new version of the track, Wolf Hoffmann shares, “this song was so much fun! We even re-recorded the intro in a Bavarian oompah style… a friend of mine lives in Bavaria, and he was in contact with one of those traditional Bavarian woodwind outfits, and they recorded the traditional German folk song Ein Heller und ein Batzen for us, which was fantastic. We were lucky to get Phil Anselmo on vocals, Billy Sheehan on bass, and of course Kirk Hammett on guitar, which is amazing, and Mikkey Dee on drums, so that’s a pretty nice supergroup, isn’t it?”
Kirk Hammett adds, “a real honor to pay back the great inspiration ACCEPT had for me!”
