Accept's Wolf Hoffmann and Mark Tornillo have recruited Phil Anselmo (Pantera), Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Mikkey Dee (Motörhead), and Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big) for a new version of “Fast As A Shark.” The single will appear on Accept’s 50th anniversary album, “Teutonic Titans 1976–2026,” which will be available on September 4. Hoffmann said the following:
“This song was so much fun! We even re-recorded the intro in a Bavarian oompah style… a friend of mine lives in Bavaria, and he was in contact with one of those traditional Bavarian woodwind outfits, and they recorded the traditional German folk song ‘Ein Heller und ein Batzen’ for us, which was fantastic. We were lucky to get Phil Anselmo on vocals, Billy Sheehan on bass, and of course Kirk Hammett on guitar, which is amazing, and Mikkey Dee on drums, so that’s a pretty nice supergroup, isn’t it?”
