  • German/American heavy metal band Accept released a re-recording of 'Balls to the Wall' featuring Judas Priest singer Rob Halford, arriving September 4, 2026 on the 50th anniversary album 'Teutonic Titans 1976-2026'.
  • Led by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, the band celebrates 50 years by recruiting 50 guests across 19 reimagined tracks, which Hoffmann describes as a definitive statement of the band's legacy.
  • Hoffmann called Halford the 'Metal God' and an obvious choice for the track, which also features Scorpions guitarist Matthias Jabs, Pantera bassist Rex Brown, and Bullet for My Valentine drummer Jason Bowld.
