Metal Heart is the sixth studio album by the German heavy metal band Accept . It was published by Polydor in March 1985 . Like its predecessor, it is considered a "classic" in the band's catalog.
Origin and style
Metal Heart was the first Accept album that was produced by Dieter Dierks himself, although the band had already recorded in his studios in Stommeln . It contains other classic songs, such as the title track or Living for Tonite . The band refined the style developed on Balls to the Wall and later added details called typical Accept elements such as male choirs or excursions into classical music. With Teach Us to Survive , the band also dared an excursion into jazzy realms. For the band, it was also about being successful in the US market, which was only partially successful.
reception
The album reached in Germany 13th, the US space 94. Eduardo Rivadavia of Allmusic .com awarded 4.5 out of five stars, calling the album "a winning set". Alex Straka from Powermetal.de wrote that the album was "a very strong output, perhaps the strongest Accept record ever."
