ACCEPT's Blind Rage is an excellent metal album. Things open with Stampede is the kind of typically zippy ripper. It’s aggressive, in-your-face old school fury with lots of crunchy riffing and rough, angry vocals and it’ll get your blood pumping and head thumping. Much better is the ode to all things classic metal that is Dying Breed. It is solid and catchy with a nifty vocal performance by Mark. Better still is the very a la Helix throwback ditty Dark Side Of My Heart, which could have been a radio/MTV hit in 1983 as it injects just enough GREAT WHITE style hard rock and hair metal flair to really stick in your craw.
Other high points include the fast-paced and action-packed Trail Of Tears, which has a wagonload of attitude and some first-rate soloing, and the preachy but poignant Wanna Be Free, which puts a dark spin on the usual quasi-power ballad. The stand out for me is the mega-radio friendly anthem From The Ashes We Arise which borrows a lot from latter period AC/DC for a greasy, hooky hard rock outing meant to be remembered after just one spin. The guitar tandem of Hoffman and Frank plays exceedingly well with and off each other. They can get plenty noodle-y, but almost all their playing retains that "arena metal” sense of fun and bombast we all love in our old style music. They’re a pleasure to hear and their style greatly elevates the material. When you add in the metal-as-hell vocals of Mark, you’ve got a great recipe for rocking 'good times. Though he bases himself around the classic Udo snarl, he also imparts a healthy dose of Brian Johnson and unlike either of those guys, he can actually sing when the material calls for it. He’s added a lot of chutzpah to the band’s classic style and makes them sound reinvigorated and refreshed. Things still sound rock solid and ready to rumble.
