German heavy metal legends Accept have released the second single from their upcoming 50th anniversary album, Teutonic Titans 1976–2026, unveiling a star-studded new version of their iconic anthem “Balls to the Wall.”

Set for release on September 4, 2026, via Napalm Records, Teutonic Titans 1976–2026 will feature 19 classic songs re-recorded with 50 legendary guest artists, celebrating the band’s remarkable five-decade career.

The new rendition of “Balls to the Wall” features Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, Scorpions guitarist Matthias Jabs, Pantera bassist Rex Brown, and Bullet for My Valentine drummer Jason Bowld.

Speaking about the collaboration, guitarist Wolf Hoffmann said:

“Rob is the Metal God. I don’t need to say any more about him. Once we knew that he would do it, it was an obvious choice to give him ‘Balls to the Wall’ because it’s the best fit imaginable! I played all the rhythm guitars. Matthias Jabs from Scorpions played the solo, which is very cool and a huge honour, and it’s Rex Brown on bass and Jason Bowld on drums. So that’s a really cool package.“

With an all-star lineup and one of heavy metal’s most recognizable songs, the new version of “Balls to the Wall” offers another preview of what promises to be one of the year’s biggest celebration releases for classic metal fans.
