Accept - Humanoid Review :: Classic Heavy Metal assimilates the modern era? Resistance is futile!

Sue Verica is a Metal Maniacs Magazine veteran and we are thrilled to announce that she has joined the Heavy Metallurgy team!
For her debut review, she dissects Humanoid, the 17th full-length album from Germany's Accept. How has this long standing institution faired over the years through changing times and peoples overall short attention span when it comes to traditional heavy metal? Is it just the old guard that still salutes, or has a band like Accept, much in the same manner as Judas Priest, survived to embrace the modern era and thrive? Along with offering a brief Accept catalog overview/history lesson, Sue has dismantled Humanoid down to it's Metal Heart to see if human passion remains the life force, or has it been completely overtaken by the machine? Join us!

Awesome review. Thorough and engaging and enthusiastic and. I’m pretty sure I remember reading your words in the metal mags, so it’s nice to finally put a face to the name.

[@HeavyMetallurgy]

Sue rules! Great to have summoned her from “retirement”. Thanks for watching!

Great review...later Accept seems to always be a solid listen

METAL HEART - still my true number one Accept favorite !

[@HeavyMetallurgy]

It’s on my list to snag a copy. I’m slowly obtaining the early Accept albums. Thanks for watching!

Accept are a great band. They honestly do not get enough credit especially in the States. I always describe them as a combination of Judas Priest and AC/DC. The modern era with Mark is solid for sure. I’ll say UDO’s solo albums however are a bit stronger in my opinion. That being said, it’s great to have two bands putting put good metal. Maybe it’s just me but Accept have dipped a bit with these last two records it might be the fact that Peter Baltes long time bass player since day one left. So Wolf has been the only OG member since.

I’m still slowly getting into and picking up their early titles. I’m super late to these guys, but always respected them. I know the new singer earned some online respect when he joined the band, but I’ve yet to snag any albums. What I’ve heard of the new one sounds good, but certainly not “mind blowing”. I guess I didn’t expect it to be, but there are some great riffs and solos on here. Thanks for watching!

Great album!!!!

[@HeavyMetallurgy]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@JosephKissSr.]

Great review! I’m love Accept and I think this is a solid album, but probably my least favorite of the Mark era albums. Maybe it will grow on me with a couple of more listens.

[@HeavyMetallurgy]

It may not be top tier Accept, but I don’t think anyone was expecting that and us old heads can appreciate a decent album from these German vets! Thanks for watching!

BALLS TO THE WALL! 🤘

[@HeavyMetallurgy]

I remember seeing that video for the first time as a youngster. Still makes me giggle.

[@mikevillain666]

Yeah, similar to Judas Priest and Saxon in recent years. If you're looking for innovation, look elsewhere. If you're looking for rock-solid, classic, yet contemporary German-style Metal, Accept still delivers.

[@HeavyMetallurgy]

Agreed. The old guard isn’t reinventing any wheels, but they still know how to construct a song and remain true to what they are. I know that last bit doesn’t do much for the kids these days, but us old farts can salute such dedication. Thanks for watching!
