Background information about 'Stalingrad (Pop-Up)'

German metal titans Accept returned with their crushing 13th studio album "Stalingrad" in 2012, proving once again why they're absolute legends in the traditional heavy metal realm.This powerhouse release marked their second album since their triumphant 2009 reunion, following the critically acclaimed predecessor "Blood of the Nations" (2010), with production duties once again handled masterfully by Andy Sneap.The album kicks off with the ferocious opener "Hung, Drawn and Quartered" delivering that classic metal energy with cool guitar harmonies and stellar solo work, while the title track showcases those iconic Accept "ohhh-ohhh-ohhh" chants that fans absolutely adore.Critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with AllMusic awarding it three-and-a-half stars out of five.Standout tracks like "Shadow Soldiers" offer a slick, memorable quasi-power ballad with an instantly memorable lead riff, while anthemic rockers "Revolution," "Against the World" and "The Quick and the Dead" showcase infectious guitar and vocal hooks in the traditional Accept template.Vocalist Mark Tornillo delivers what reviewers have called an "awfully convincing Udo Dirkschneider impression,"with many critics noting he's actually sounding better than Udo by a long shot.This album serves as pretty much the road map for how traditional metal albums should sound and feel, making it an excellent release by one of the best comeback groups in recent years.For fans of:
Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Running Wild, and Grave Digger
