BREAKING NEWS: ACCEPT Signs with Adam Parsons Entertainment — A New Era for the Legendary Metal Titans
In a thrilling development for the world of heavy metal and hard rock, legendary German metal band ACCEPT has officially announced that they are now managed and represented by Adam Parsons Entertainment, effective immediately. The announcement marks a bold new chapter in the band’s illustrious, decades-spanning career — one that promises to take them to even greater heights as they approach their 50th anniversary as a band.
A Legacy Carved in Steel
Formed in the small German town of Solingen in the late 1970s, Accept quickly rose to international prominence with their unique blend of pounding heavy metal anthems, classically influenced guitar work, and uncompromising stage presence. With genre-defining albums like Restless and Wild (1982), Balls to the Wall (1983), and Metal Heart (1985), Accept became one of Europe’s most successful metal exports. Songs like “Balls to the Wall,” “Fast as a Shark,” and “Princess of the Dawn” have not only stood the test of time but have become anthems for multiple generations of metal fans around the world.
Despite lineup changes and periods of inactivity, Accept’s core has remained strong thanks to the steadfast leadership of guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, who has served as the band’s musical heart and soul for over four decades. With his signature flying-V guitar and classically infused playing style, Hoffmann has kept the band’s sound fresh and vital while honoring the heavy metal traditions Accept helped pioneer.
In recent years, Accept has experienced a renaissance, releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums, including Blood of the Nations (2010), Blind Rage (2014), The Rise of Chaos (2017), and Too Mean to Die (2021). These records have seen the band not only maintain but expand their global following, performing at major international festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, and Download Festival, and selling out headline tours across Europe, North America, South America, and Asia.
A Perfect Match: Adam Parsons Entertainment Joins the Accept Family
Now, as the band prepares for their milestone 50th anniversary and the next exciting phase of their career, they have joined forces with renowned manager Adam Parsons and his team at Adam Parsons Entertainment. With decades of experience in artist management, concert promotion, and brand development, Parsons is widely respected in the rock and metal community for his strategic vision and deep understanding of the genre.
Speaking about the partnership, Adam Parsons expressed his excitement:
> “Having followed Accept’s career as a fan since their very early days and seeing them continue to be in top form both live and in the studio makes me very honored to be in a position to help guide their career into their 50th anniversary and beyond. True icons of the rock and metal genre with anthemic songs that are second to none, it’s only going to get better from here.”
Parsons’ history of working with some of rock and metal’s most beloved names makes him an ideal collaborator for Accept. His management roster over the years has included genre heavyweights like Uriah Heep, Saxon, Thin Lizzy, Europe, Annihilator, and Motörhead, among others. Known for his hands-on approach, attention to detail, and ability to build long-term careers in an often volatile industry, Parsons is the kind of figure capable of helping Accept navigate the modern music business landscape while retaining the authenticity and power that have made them legends.
Wolf Hoffmann Speaks: “The Best Is Yet to Come”
Accept’s founding guitarist and leader Wolf Hoffmann also shared his enthusiasm about this new chapter in the band’s history:
> “Accept are excited and very much look forward to this cooperation with the Adam Parsons Entertainment team. We’ve worked hard to build something truly special over these many years, and now it feels like the perfect time to align ourselves with a management company that understands both our legacy and our ambitions for the future. The best is yet to come!”
Hoffmann’s words hint at exciting developments on the horizon — with the band already reportedly in the early stages of writing new material, as well as preparing for a major international tour to mark their 50th anniversary. Rumors of a special anniversary box set, expanded reissues of their classic albums, and possible collaborations with other major artists in the rock and metal world have been circulating among fans and insiders alike.
