Accept have welcomed bassist Martin Motnik to the band as a replacement for Peter Baltes. With this news, the group have also recruited Ava-Rebekah Rahman to play violin on their upcoming “Symphonic Terror” tour.
Wolf Hoffmann said the following about Motnik:
“We were overwhelmed and honored by the musicians who auditioned for the open position. The level of talent we saw was unprecedented, and we believe Martin Motnik is a perfect fit as he’ll be joining us for the ‘Symphonic Terror’ tour and upcoming ACCEPT shows.”
He also added the following about Rahman, who is a descendant of Bengali Royalty:
“For the orchestra shows, we decided to pair an electric guitar with a violin, making for an interesting duet, and Ava-Rebekah Rahman takes it to a whole other level. The show is still very METAL, but with a classical touch.”
