Accept’s Album Cover Is Bloody Good

I must admit — for the most part, this blog is a compilation of whatever comes to mind when I first see, hear, or read something. If I’m apathetic about some lame-ass band going out on tour with an even lamer-assed band, I just get to the goods as quickly as I can. In the case of Accept’s new album cover, my initial thought was: “That looks like a Pleaser gone terribly, terribly wrong.”

I remember being an 11-year-old virgin. I had heard all about hymens and blood and such. The first chick I got knuckle deep in was also a first-timer; had never felt a boy’s touch. I imagined my hand would probably end up looking something like that after I fingered her…and I imagined that while I was fingering her, which took away from the experience a touch.

I know that’s gross but that wasn’t the only thought I had. Just the first. It also is kind of ironic. The peace sign, covered in blood. That’s kind of fucking contrarian dudes. Like Mary Mary Quite Contrarian. I also thought that it looked kind of like the hand of Mola Ram, the heart-removing dude from Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom who was all like, “Kali ma…Kali ma…Kali ma, shakthi deh!”

It’s an intense image. The kind you want on a T-shirt. Blood of the Nations is set for release September 14 through Nuclear Blast, and features a lucky 13 songs, including “Beat the Bastards,” “Shades of Death,” and “Bucketful of Hate.” This one’s going to be a real crowd pleaser.
