This interview episode's guest Mark Tornillo of Accept talks about the new Accept album Humanoid and how different it was working on Humanoid in 2024 for him compared to Accept's earlier albums, such as Blood of the Nations and others.

Mark and I also discuss Accept playing live in 2024, a possible rock opera by Accept, his relationship with Accept guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and how it affects their writing process. The current Accept vocalist also talks about his era of Accept and the Udo era of the band, his old band TT Quick and a possible reunion of it, living in the past, important of The Beatles and Deep Purple and a dream collaboration with AC/DC. We also discuss his voice routines, Accept's 50th anniversary, Symphonic performance at Wacken Open Air and much more! Hope you will enjoy it!
