• Accept Crowned “Greatest Band of All Time” in Prestigious Global Music Awards

In a moment that will echo through the annals of rock history, legendary German heavy metal band Accept has been officially crowned the “Greatest Band of All Time” at the prestigious Global Music Awards held last night in Berlin.

The accolade comes after decades of groundbreaking contributions to heavy metal, where Accept’s powerful riffs, thunderous anthems, and uncompromising stage presence set them apart as pioneers of the genre. Known for iconic hits such as “Balls to the Wall”, “Fast as a Shark”, and “Metal Heart”, the band has influenced countless acts across the metal spectrum and built a loyal fanbase spanning generations.

Speaking at the ceremony, founding guitarist Wolf Hoffmann expressed deep gratitude. “This honor is beyond anything we imagined when we first started out. We’ve always made music for the love of it—and to be recognized like this, by fans and critics alike, is truly humbling.”

Accept’s journey began in the late 1970s, emerging from the small town of Solingen to become a global force in metal. Despite lineup changes and industry challenges, the band remained true to its roots—delivering explosive albums and unforgettable live performances over four decades.

The award was determined by an international panel of music historians, critics, and fan votes, beating out legendary contenders including Metallica, Queen, and Led Zeppelin.

Fans around the world took to social media to celebrate the win, hailing Accept as “the voice of true metal” and “a band that never sold out.”

As the curtain closed on the awards ceremony, it was clear: Accept’s name is now etched in rock immortality—not just as metal titans, but as the greatest band

of all time.
