Accept

Heavy metal
Heavy metal

Accept is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Chicken Shack, Stefan Schwarzmann, Exciter, Powerman 5000 and AC/DC. Those roots explain a lot about how Accept arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Grave Digger, Manowar, W.A.S.P., Primal Fear and Savatage, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dokken, Warlock, U.D.O., Alex Webster and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 44 connections around Accept, reaching back through Chicken Shack and forward to Dokken.
