"Some ideas devised in a split second can work like a charm, and originally it was like - there's no way you can do that... but I thought WHY NOT?! We had so much fun and it was party time from the first second onwards! I hope that the fans get it: a very hot summer night with friends and music and going a bit over the top... I wish you all could have been there!"

Wolf Hoffmann has a passion. His life-long love and dedication to heavy metal music is documented in dozens of albums spanning four decades with his long time heavy metal bandACCEPT. But beyond heavy metal, Wolf has an incessant craving for the classics, yes, the ones written decades and centuries ago.

Classical music has always been an influence - albeit limited - on ACCEPT's Teutonic approach to rock and heavy metal. However, it wasn't until 1997 during a extended hiatus from ACCEPT, thatWolf Hoffmann finally had the chance to fully explore and fulfill this interest by recording his first astounding solo album »Classical«, a record filled with his rock guitar driven interpretations of some of classical music’s most loved compositions.

"I have always incorporated classical music in my songwriting with ACCEPT, especially with »Metal Heart«, but I constantly felt there was so much more that I could do and I did not want to overload ACCEPT or force it in any way. I always knew I could make a whole record of it and that’s how the first record »Classical« was born. Even today, fans tell me that they are still listening to it, that's why it is so fantastic now to do another one."

»Headbangers Symphony« is truly a bold statement by a genuine musician who simply refused to rest on his laurels and continues to push and challenge himself.

Night on Bald Mountain was made by a Time Travelling musician who just wanted to make metal but only had an orchestra at his disposal.

Красава! Вот где неисчерпаемый кладезь техники, таланта, артистичности. Слушаю Accept с 1984 года, не могу наслушаться, не надоедает!

[davidwood]

One of my favorite pieces of classical music going to my favorite genre of music all I got to say I don't have enough thumbs to put up

[astrokalendar]

ОГОнь!!!!
Умница и виртуоз Вольф Хоффман взялся за русскую классику и как всегда преуспел. "Ночь на лысой горе" Мусоргского зазвучала мощно и современно. Думаю, Модест кайфанул бы...

[ВладимирСолдатов-щщ]

I would bow to the Russian composer Mussorgsky, who composed this magical piece 150 years ago. Listen to it in original performance by the orchestra! Many thanxxx to Wolf Hoffmann for this inspired thing! From Russian fans!

[wiesawszatkowski]

Można tego słuchać bez końca Hoffmann King !

[buckminster]

Приємно бачити патріарха heavy музики у доброму гуморі. Техніка просто незрівнянна. Як завжди, в принципі.

[robronin]

Wolf has always been a symphonic guitar badass. Love it!

[davelapp]

I've been enjoying Wolf's shredding and tone since I picked up Restless and Wild back at a place called Cutler records in New Haven, Ct- That had to be around Christmas 1982. Wow records... Anyway I remember as I first listened to it how raw, yet polished and fiery the music was : the guitar tone and leads blew me away. Nevermind Udo's hair-raising Howl. Of course the rest is history with the mighty Accept. I had heard Wolf had done some classical stuff but I had yet 2 hear it. Thank you AFM records for sending this to my mailbox. Usually I find metal guitarist s doing classical a little self-indulgent, but boy does he make it work here. Oh yeah!!!

[bebenzyt]

I am amazed by the frontman of this band, this man is a genius in creating music. I applaud his clever idea of ​​making arrangements and collaborations to make a magnificent music to be heard and enjoyed. greetings headbanger from Indonesia

[jironthunder]

wow... from bald mountain... to disco mountain... to METAL MOUNTAIN!!!! congratulations everyone !!!! supurb Song!!!! thanks!!!

[RicoLen]

If I were a pro-wrestler, this would be my theme song.

I would love to hear Wolf Hoffmann cover Chopin's Funeral March. It'd probably be the best version of The Underaker's theme song yet.

[celestialode]

Just beautiful! Such a legendary guitarist!

[Maitressenoir]

This brought tears to my eyes. Magnificent!!!

[GRILLBUOY]

[ТаняБ-оэ]

Это все эмоции АДА в итоге дно и просьба о Начало...путь...❤

[hollisyeano]

New to the party but I slammed that like button so hard, who says metal can't be beautiful

[jameschavez]

May Wolf Keep That Vision With No Limits

[chrisdinunno]

Fat thumbs excuse me I meant ballad but it was more than just that their chants and bombastic voices, and of course Wolf's blistering riffs.
