Heavy Metal Pioneers ACCEPT Release New Re-recorded Version of “Balls to the Wall” feat. Rob Halford & more for 50th Anniversary!
German
heavy metal legends ACCEPT release another single off of their upcoming
new album masterpiece, Teutonic Titans 1976-2026, produced, mixed and
mastered by the legendary Zeuss. They have teamed up with “Metal God”
Rob Halford and guitar icon Matthias Jabs for an explosive new rendition
of the genre classic, “Balls to the Wall.” Serving as the second single
from their massive 50th-anniversary celebratory album, Teutonic Titans
1976-2026, this track perfectly illustrates the band’s half-century
legacy. Dropping September 4, 2026, via Napalm Records, this tight and
powerful release delivers a vital blow that proves ACCEPT are as
relevant as ever. Featuring 19 timeless songs and no fewer than 50
legendary guest artists, the album culminates in an unforgettable moment
as the Metal God himself joins the band on the iconic anthem “Balls to
the Wall.” The all-star metal supergroup they gathered is another
powerful look into the album celebrating both the band’s extraordinary
50-year legacy and the heavy metal genre they helped shape itself.
Wolf Hoffmann about “Balls to the Wall”:
“Rob
is the Metal God. I don’t need to say any more about him. Once we knew
that he would do it, it was an obvious choice to give him ‘Balls to the
Wall’ because it’s the best fit imaginable! I played all the rhythm
guitars. Matthias Jabs from Scorpions played the solo, which is very
cool and a huge honour, and it’s Rex Brown on bass and Jason Bowld on
drums. So that’s a really cool package.”

Chile based death metal warriors DECCESSUS have inked a deal with BLKIIBLK ..
FROM BLKIIBLK:
BLKIIBLK is proud to announce the signing of Chilean progressive death metal force Decessus to the label's growing roster of established and emerging heavy artists.
Combining technical precision, crushing heaviness, soaring melodies and uncompromising intensity, Decessus has quickly carved out a unique identity within modern extreme music. The quartet's sound is both ferocious and forward-thinking, blending elements of progressive metal, death metal and djent into something unmistakably their own.
Following the release of acclaimed singles “The Hollow Descent” and “Dark Flames”, Decessus now embarks on the next chapter of its rapidly expanding international career with BLKIIBLK.
Their upcoming debut album promises to showcase the band's signature balance of progressive songwriting, emotional depth and relentless aggression, introducing a bold new voice to contemporary extreme metal.
Vocalist Ignacia Fernández commented: “We’re incredibly honoured to announce that Decessus has officially joined the BLKIIBLK family. Our new chapter has begun, and we’re incredibly eager to see what the future will bring. This is a milestone we’ve worked towards for a long time, and how rewarding is the opportunity to be part of such an incredible roster of artists. It is part of our vision to push our music and what Decessus is further, reaching new audiences, and sharing some really precious metal moments.”
“To everyone who has supported us throughout this journey, our fans, friends, families, and everyone who has believed in Decessus from the very beginning, thank you. Your support has made moments like this possible”, she added. “We can't wait to show you what is coming next!! Horns up!”
“Decessus is both an unexpected success story in the making and a testament to the drive, talent and vision of Ignacia and the band”, said Michael Gitter, Head of A&R, Frontiers Label Group. “When we heard the new material the band had recorded for the upcoming album, it was instant as it masterfully weaves together elements of death metal, progressive metal and djent in a thoroughly modern way that will cement Decessus on the world stage”.
Their partnership with BLKIIBLK marks the beginning of an exciting new era, set to resonate with heavy music fans around the world.

SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself
BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
