Legendary heavy metal titans Accept recently announced their new album, entitled “Humanoid”, to be released on April 26, 2024. Today the band shared the official music video for the album’s title track. Watch it below.
The hard-hitting first single features razor-sharp riffs in true Accept style and comments on our reliance on technology. The dystopian atmosphere of the accompanying official music video complements the track perfectly, depicting a stark contrast between a video wall and the band performing live in front of it.
Accept‘s Wolf Hoffmann states about “Humanoid”: “The song plays with the omnipresent topic of artificial intelligence (AI). Strangely, we have entered exciting times now… This digital revolution has a huge impact, probably bigger than anything humankind has ever gone through. The Industrial Revolution was huge, but this might be even bigger, and we’re just at the beginning of it. However, I’m also a little afraid that humanity gets lost and pushed aside in all this stuff. The song is pretty impactful and provoking!”
“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.
Accept has also 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. Make sure to secure your tickets!
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.”
