50 Years of Metal: A Conversation with Accept’s Christopher Williams

Join DJ Mota for an immersive journey into the heart of the Stone Dead Festival. This episode serves as a double-feature of high-octane music and intimate artist conversations. We hear from Aethoria just moments after their opening set, discussing the adrenaline of the festival stage and their brand-new album. The conversation continues with Crowbot, who provide a fascinating perspective on the cultural differences between the US and UK rock scenes, highlighting the deep-rooted appreciation for heavy metal in Britain.

As the festival progresses, we are joined by the members of The Damn Truth, who discuss their touring life and their vibrant online fan community. The episode reaches a crescendo with an interview with Christopher Williams, the drummer for Accept. Williams reflects on the band’s 50-year legacy, the upcoming ‘Teutonic Titans’ release, and his surprising inspiration from Jim Henson’s Muppets. Throughout the show, the ‘cartoon character’ question provides a lighthearted look at the personalities behind the instruments, featuring everything from Daffy Duck to Cartman.
