Accept have released a new version of Save Us featuring Tobias Forge of Ghost, Anthrax bassist Frank Bello and Korn drummer Ray Luzier. The track is the third single from Teutonic Titans 1976-2026, Accept’s 50th anniversary album, which will be released by Napalm Records on 4 September 2026. The collection presents 19 songs reimagined with 50 guest musicians.
Save Us originally appeared on I’m A Rebel in 1980. The new recording combines Accept’s current sound with Forge’s vocal performance and contributions from Bello and Luzier.
“Tobias was not really on my radar,” Wolf Hoffmann said. “Obviously, I know Ghost, and they’re huge, but last year he turned up at one of our shows when we played in Stockholm. We were chatting a little bit, and he said that his favourite song was Save Us, and at one point he was considering using it as a cover song on one of their albums, but it never panned out.
“Save Us? I didn’t even remember that song. Nobody had mentioned that song! I had to go back and listen to it. After I saw a Ghost show, it all made sense to me. It really fits his style, and I could imagine him doing that song really well. He’s right – it’s a fun song!”
The album can be pre-ordered at lnk.to/Accept-TeutonicTitans/napalmrecords. Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 moves chronologically through Accept’s early catalogue, from I’m A Rebel to Eat The Heat. Every track features a different combination of vocals, guitars, bass and drums alongside Mark Tornillo and Wolf Hoffmann.
“There is no better way to celebrate this 50-year anniversary than to have our musical peers, friends and inspirations come together with us to record these classic Accept songs, which I am honoured and proud to share with the world,” Hoffmann said. “I hope everyone enjoys this very special record as much as we all enjoyed making it.”
Other guests include Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett and Mikkey Dee on Fast As A Shark; Rob Halford and Matthias Jabs on Balls To The Wall; and Billy Corgan and David Ellefson on Love Child.
K. K. Downing, Bobby Blitz, Hansi Kürsch, Chris Jericho, Ralf Scheepers, Billy Sheehan, Ola Englund and Jeff Loomis also appear. Hellhammer features Accept’s current instrumental line-up with Jason McMaster on vocals. Zeuss produced, mixed and mastered the album.

Yngwie Malmsteen will release his new studio album Hell Or High Water on 13 November 2026 through Music Theories Recordings and Artone Label Group. The guitarist has introduced the nine-track album with its first single, Now Or Never, a song built around palm-muted riffs, baroque counterpoint melodies, soaring vocals and Malmsteen’s trademark guitar technique.
Malmsteen wrote the album during an uninterrupted eight-month period at home, continuing a focused approach he first adopted while making 2021’s Parabellum.
“When I started making records, I would just take the songs I had lying around,” Yngwie said. “Later on, I fell into a schedule – make a record, tour the record and then write the next record. Over the pandemic, I realised it was better to focus completely uninterrupted, so I stayed at home to write this album over the course of eight months. I had around 80 or 90 tracks finished, and then I had to decide which ones were the strongest.”
Malmsteen says musical ideas often arrive in complete form, allowing him to work instinctively across styles.
“Even without a guitar in my hands, the music just comes to me,” he said. “It’s like that movie Amadeus. Mozart was getting music given to him in complete form. I understand the building blocks and can therefore build you anything you like. If you asked me to write you a death metal song, call me back in five minutes, and I’d have it ready for you. You want country and western or reggae? No problem. I can give you whatever you want.
“The language of music is simple. There are certain notes that belong together in whatever stylistic direction and sound pleasant to the ear. The ideas don’t come all the time, but when they do, it’s like an avalanche. The pieces I choose for my records are like gifts that I capture because they amaze me. I’m very lucky in that sense.”
The album also includes the instrumental Am Caprice/Hell Or High Water, vocal-led tracks (On The) Battlefield and Eye For An Eye, and the instrumentals Antikythera and Beyond Zeta Reticuli, both named after scientific discoveries.
Closing track Father was written in tribute to Malmsteen’s father, who died in 2025.
“He was an amazing man,” Yngwie said. “I was proud to have him as a father, and I loved him. I wanted to dedicate all of this to him, and that one particular track is for him. I wanted others to feel what I felt when they hear it.
“Nicola Paganini once said, ‘One must feel strongly in order to make others feel strongly’. It’s one thing to be a typewriter and another thing to be someone who writes stories that can touch people. That was always the point.”
Yngwie Malmsteen will release Hell Or High Water on 13 November 2026 through Music Theories Recordings and Artone Label Group. Pre-orders are available from lnk.to/YMNowOrNever.
