ACCEPT’s “Blood Of The Nations” took the No. 1 spot in WJCU’s “Metal On Metal” Top 25 year-end album countdown show, which aired live on January .
“Out of the 1,265 votes placed, ACCEPT ended up winning by a solid 25% margin,” says Metal On Metal host Bill Peters. “Metal fans of all types — thrash, death, doom, black and traditional — listed the ACCEPT album as one of their Top 3 for the year. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a clear-cut favorite crossover and dominate the poll like ‘Blood Of The Nations’ did. It was my album of the year as well. ACCEPT’s live show in Cleveland last October at The Agora was also signaled out by my listeners as the best concert of the year.”
To which guitarist Wolf Hoffmann responds: “We are thrilled ….thrilled ….thrilled!!! How better could we end 2010 with the album of the year in so many countries and what can top the start of 2011 than being # 1 on METAL TO METAL! THANK YOU, CLEVELAND. THANK YOU! ACCEPT will come back and rock the stage with you!”
