It’s one of those “Where were you?” moments that shook the metal community back in 1982. The opening fake out of German Alps folk music on lead track "Fast As A Shark". The frenetic, jolting record scratch. And The Scream that announced a change of the guard. That something new was on the horizon. Speed Metal. Accept from Germany ( and Raven from the UK and our boys Anvil from Canada!) were on the forefront of this new sound which would be tightened and bolted down to become thrash in the ensuing years.
Restless & Wild was THE best Speed Metal album of 1982 (right ahead of Metal on Metal), and would play a MASSIVE influence on the burgeoning Thrash Metal scene that was right around the corner!

How would you rank their albums? Which of their albums are essential?
Did they have the first Speed Metal album with Breaker in 1981?
Are any of their albums past Metal Heart worth checking out?!?!
PS. I was going to have another battle – this time between Raven & Accept entitled Speed Kings and how during the early 80s these two duked it out for speed metal supremacy, but I just don’t think Raven’s all that. And Accept are! [First added to this chart: 11/02/2021]
