Too Mean to Die

Too Mean to Die is the sixteenth studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, released on 29 January 2021.^[1][5] It is the first Accept album to feature Martin Motnik, who replaced original bassist Peter Baltes in 2019, and the only one to feature rhythm guitarist Philip Shouse, who joined the band that same year;^[1] as such, Too Mean to Die would be their only album to be recorded as a six-piece band as opposed to a five-piece. While Shouse has remained a member of the band, he did not play on their next album, Humanoid Accept signed with Napalm Records in February 2022, making Too Mean to Die their last album to be released on Nuclear Blast.^[6]
