Originally released in 1985, Metal Heart is one of Accept’s defining albums — a perfect fusion of German precision, anthemic songwriting, and Udo Dirkschneider’s unmistakable vocal attack.
 
The 2021 AFM Records reissue brings this classic back to vinyl on black wax, housed in a gatefold sleeve with updated remastering. The sound is punchy, tight, and powerful, giving new life to the album’s iconic riffs and melodic leads.
 
Featuring some of Accept’s most legendary tracks:
“Metal Heart”
“Midnight Mover”
“Up to the Limit”
“Living for Tonite”
 
This is a cornerstone of European heavy metal — melodic, aggressive, and endlessly replayable.
