Vor zwei Tagen gab überraschend Gitarrist Herman Frank seinen Ausstieg bei Accept bekannt, noch am gleichen Tag deutete sich selbiges auch bei Drummer Stefan Schwarzmann an. Beide Musiker haben mit Destructions Frontman Schmier das Projekt The German Panzer aus der Taufe gehoben, mit welchem sie mittlerweile ebenfalls recht erfolgreich sind, was am Ende wohl den Ausschlag für die Trennung gegeben hat. Dieses bestätigt auch das offizielle Accept Statement mit folgendem Wortlaut:
„WE ARE PARTING AS FRIENDS!”
ACCEPT would like to thank Herman Frank & Stefan Schwarzmann for being with us these last 4 + years, for making themselves available whenever needed and for rocking their asses off! We and the fans all knew that they had their own careers and that eventually we would run into scheduling and other conflicts beyond our control. Herman and Stefan are now ready to take on the world, with their own band “PANZER”, a Nuclear Blast Record deal under their belts and a new album!
We are parting as friends and wish them nothing but success!
We ourselves are getting ready for 2015 – another year of heavy touring! We would like to say thanks again to our fans around the world for their huge support and for the fantastic year 2014!“
