2LP – Limited Edition Yellow Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve.The Rise of Chaos is the 15th studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, originally released on 4 August 2017.The album was honored with a 2017 Metal Storm Award for Best Heavy Metal/Melodic Album.It was also nominated for a German Metal Hammer Award for Best Album in 2018. Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann comments on the album title, “The Rise Of Chaos is something I have been thinking about often.It describes a condition which is slowly spreading around the world.With the stage setup on our latest European tour, we wanted to portray rather dystopian and destroyed scenery.If you now take a look at our new cover, it’s the same imagery.This time however you can also spot the invisible destruction that we feel more and more in these times, as well as the visible destruction.”Accept continue along the path they started with their three previous records, which is why the band has recorded their 4th studio album since 2010 once again with Andy Sneap.The exceptionally detailed artwork was created by Gyula Havancsák.“Previously our cover artworks had been really simple and focused on one message.But this time, we wanted to make it more interesting by using an atmospheric picture where you can find a lot of hidden details, but also with a clear and thoughtful statement present,” adds Wolf.
