DIRKSCHNEIDER are pleased to present the first single from their eagerly awaited re-recording of ACCEPT’s milestone album „Balls To The Wall“ today. The new version of the legendary title track features not only the iconic ACCEPT voice of Udo Dirkschneider, but also one of the most recognizable faces on the scene today in the form of SABATON vocalist Joakim Brodén. This powerful interpretation skillfully builds a bridge between several metal generations and once again underlines the influence that ACCEPT’s 1983 masterpiece continues to exert on the global music world.Udo comments: „Re-recording ‚Balls To The Wall‘ with Joakim Brodén from SABATON was an absolute highlight! This man has an incredible power in his voice that makes the song even more explosive. It was a concentrated load of energy that lifts the classic to a new level. Joakim really delivered – together we brought the song back to life and the result is simply brute!“The 40th anniversary of „Balls To The Wall“ will of course also be celebrated with a tour, during which DIRKSCHNEIDER will perform the entire album and other crowd favorites live in 32 European cities starting next month. Shortly after the start of the tour, from February 28, 2025, fans of the band will also be able to purchase and stream the unique new recording of the entire album, which features many well-known guest singers. Released via RPM, the entire work is, of course, a testament to its continued relevance and unbroken influence on the entire heavy metal world.Watch the lyric video:
