Legendary heavy metal titans Accept finally released their new album “Humanoid” this past Friday, (April 26, 2024) and along with it they have shared the lyric video for the single “Frankenstein”. Watch it below.
The band states about “Frankenstein”: “The story of Frankenstein is old and yet still relevant. The monster is created without being asked. Frankenstein is a human being and yet he is hated and feared by everyone.”
“Humanoid” was once again produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by critically acclaimed heavy metal producer Andy Sneap. Starting today, fans can immerse themselves in the upcoming album on a newly launched interactive website, where they can reprogram the robot that is featured on the album cover, and discover different parts of the album in the process.
Hoffmann previously said about the album: “I am extremely pleased with ‘Humanoid’. The album has great energy throughout! Working with the best metal producer, Andy Sneap, was once again a lot of fun! We are a great team. We all love the new album and look forward to playing it live! Hope our fans will like it as much as we do.”
Accept has never shied away from hot-button issues, and this album is no exception. Yet the band’s 17th studio album is certainly not a concept album. It deals with topics like AI and how our reliance on technology is gradually stripping away our individuality. Accept offers a warning in this new album and title track single ‘Humanoid’. Since singer Mark Tornillo will never be an advocate for the digital age, he counterbalances the title track with raw emotions, frailties, significant Rites of Passage we encounter on the path of life, and characteristics that make us uniquely human: feeling uncomfortable, getting older, dealing with hurt, disappointment, and the final stop for everyone: death.
Accept recently revealed a massive European headline tour with more than 20 shows across the continent for autumn 2024. This summer, Accept will also return to some of the world’s most important rock and metal festivals, like Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, and more, following their South American spring tour.
