Surprising, in our universe, that no group of Metal did not again attempt to pierce while being called HELL… IT IS henceforth thing done with this English formation that, by way of concert, proposes a true spectacle that resembles more to a simulacre of this than I imagine to be a black mass with all the artifices awaited. A gothic look, a spirit close of CRADLE OF FITH, the music of HELL draws to the heart of the metal of the 80’s, inspiring itself of MERCIFUL FATE, principally, but equally to the heart of this essential one NWOBHM. Etonnamment, the song recalls often the one of Geddy LEE (RUSH), group to the musical register and to the spirit totally to the opposed of what proposes HELL.
The present is the essential element of this show, and HELL cheek of all the artifices to seduce the public: of false vitraux to the devilish pictures, an invitation to penetrate in " this church of HELL", the black disguise of the priest, the musical others the pale complexion, the preceded blessing of a simulacre of flagellation, the opening of the Bible page 666… This Would Be the effect GHOST that allows a placement forward of Is this NWOSHM (New Wave Of Satanic Heavy Metal - copyright Marpa) for that the spectacle a major ingredient of the musical environment? A likable placement in cut mouth in the Heavy the most traditional one that collects the votes of a good party of the public, it will be necessary to keep an eye (black) on HELL.
Setlist HELL : ?
After the explosive double that the Germans offered us there is scarcely more of a year (for memory, the superb Blood Of The Nations and the turn that itself while following that some left more of a, of which your servant, friend reader, stunned– cf the live continuation of the ElyséeMontmartre January 18 2011), ACCEPT has all the reasons of the world to be somewhat nervous to the idea to confirm that it Was not a question that of a flash in the pan. Tonight more than ever since his new album adorned aujourd’hui same and that it is a matter, equally, first concert of this new turned one.
Starting one up on the wheel hats with two not pricked novelties of the towards (the quick and incisive Hellfire and the more mélodique Stalingrad), ACCEPT does throughout this show of two good hours proof of a professionalism without rifts, shelling its big and classical essential ones (in vrac: Restless And Wild, Breaker, Son Of A Bitch, Princess Of The Dawn, Fast As A Shark, Metal Heart, Balls To The Wall), as well as those brought to become it (Bucket Full Of Hate, Bulletproof, No Shelter, Pandemic, Teutonic Terror). The sly devils seem in the same form that in 2011, Peter BALTES shaking themselves always as a beautiful devil, Wolf HOFFMAN poster smile and make faces as soon as possible, Herman FRANK solid roc… and Mark TORNILLO that, at last, discusses with his public. The frontal attacks and duels between the two founding members always are placement and always do their small effect, just as the romantic solo that proposes Wolf HOFFMAN in introduction of Neon Nights, or again the French flag that a roadie stretches him and that brandishes Mark (the same that the last year, on which was registered "Wolf for president"???)
while the show happens wonderfully, sudden, while the group plays No Shelter, the sound disparait, less to the floor. For in the pit, all is well. ACCEPT hears and does not understand the sifflets of the public only in the middle of Pandemic, when only survives the sound of the returns. Did one already you the blow of the breakdown in concert? Nothing of better to bewilder a group... A motive of anxiety of more! It is not less than fifteen minutes that are thus devoted to look for, hello the panic of the staff that s’affolle itself and shakes itself!, the origin of the breakdown before the group returns and resumes there where it had stopped himself to finish in beauty.
Only, and beyond this technical incident, if Mark TORNILLO shows themselves particularly verbose tonight (OK, the term a little is exaggerated. The screaming one communicates henceforth plaisamment with the public), one would have appreciated a little more of risk take. Not less than 16 titles already figured to the set of the preceding turn, of which 6 or 7 cheeks in the same order! Ahead Of The Pack, London Leatherboys, Head Over Heels , for example, would have been welcomes, and without undoing itself certain essential classics that it is useless to quote, one could happen, doubtless, of Neon Nights or Aiming High. It does not do doubt, nevertheless, that the setlist will be brought to evolve with the passing of the dates, and that, the known public better the new album will see itself proposed more novelties.
Remainder that ACCEPT is return. The backdrop that it chose is a lot of feels and totally symbolic of the phenomenon: as the phénix, ACCEPT semblance to reappear of its ashes. And, just as the expresss this other figures that descends of the hangers at the end of the show, a lion head, the Germans are ready to roar again! Sharply that they return to return us visits. Which seems foreseen in 2013.
Setlist ACCEPT : Hellfire, Stalingrad, Restless And Wild, Living For Tonight, Breaker, Son Of A Bitch, Bucket Full Of Hate, Monster Man, Shadow Soldier, Neon Nights, Bulletproof, Losers And Winners, Aiming High, Princess Of The Dawn, Up To The Limit, No Shelter, Pandemic.
