ACCEPT - Humanoid (CD)

ACCEPT, long-standing legendary German titans of heavy metal, are back with a fiercely
awaited new studio album, entitled Humanoid, to be released on the 26th of April, 2024.
Humanoid is a towering musical achievement and another world class entry in the ACCEPT
catalog, certain to rally fans from around the world. ACCEPT have never shied away from
hot button issues, and this album is no exception. The band’s 17th studio album is certainly
not a concept album, yet it deals with topics like AI and how our reliance upon technology is
gradually stripping away individuality. 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. Humanoid is a ferociously electrifying, dynamic and subtly
nuanced platter with tongue in cheek humor.
