Warthur
Accept's Stalingrad: Brothers In Death is a storming traditional heavy metal album which offers few surprises but a decidedly acceptable level of consistency. Aside from the themes lifted from the Soviet national anthem slipped into the title track, there's few radical departures or experiments on Accept's part, but if you are in the market for business as usual, hard-edged 80s metal style with some NWOBHMish traits, that's precisely what you will find here, though if you are averse to cheesiness in your metal you may find it patchy. I'm in two minds about the title track myself: the lyrics evoke the bitter struggle that characterised the actual siege, the music makes me think of Manowar striding through the shelled-out streets of Stalingrad in their loincloths.
