German heavy metal legends ACCEPT have confirmed the title of their new album and second to feature singer Mark Tornillo.

Stalingrad will be released by Nuclear Blast in April.

The band are currently at guitarist Wolf Hoffman's Nashville studios recording the album with British producer Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, EXODUS), who also worked on the band's massive comeback album, Blood Of The Nations. This past week birthday boy Stefan Schwarzmann was recording the drums for the album.

Guitarist Wolf Hoffman commented recently: "Accept and Andy Sneap have the perfect synergy. This was so clear with Blood Of The Nations and we are excited to continue on that path. Andy is not only an amazing and prolific producer but also a very good friend who has long become a member of the Accept family.”

Accept announce their return to the stage, starting in Paris in April 2012.
