Originally released in 1983, Balls to the Wall is Accept’s most famous and influential album — a heavy‑metal landmark defined by massive riffs, anthemic choruses, and Udo Dirkschneider’s unmistakable vocal snarl.
 
The 2021 AFM Records reissue brings this classic back to vinyl on black wax, housed in a gatefold sleeve and featuring a modern remaster that enhances clarity and punch while preserving the album’s raw 80s power.
 
Featuring some of Accept’s most iconic tracks:
“Balls to the Wall”
“London Leatherboys”
“Head Over Heels”
“Love Child”
 
This is the album that cemented Accept as one of Europe’s premier heavy‑metal forces.
