Accept have shared a live video of them performing their track Die By The Sword.

It was filmed at this month’s Wacken Open Air in Germany, with the track lifted from their 15th studio album The Rise Of Chaos which arrived on August 4 via Nuclear Blast.

Speaking about the follow-up to 2014’s Blind Rage, Accept guitarist Wolf Hoffmann said: “The Rise Of Chaos is something I have been thinking about often.

“Wherever we go, there is some hidden as well as some visible destruction and it kind of changes the world we know. What was there today can be gone tomorrow and it’s somehow irritating, because it happens on so many levels and no one knows what comes next.

“The cover portrays our last stage set – but now clearly ‘destroyed’ like after a catastrophe.”

Accept will resume their live shows in support of the new album from September, with dates planned in the US, Japan and South America.
