Humanoid is the seventeenth studio album by German
heavy metal band
Accept, released on 26 April 2024.[4] It is the band's first studio album on
Napalm Records, with whom Accept had signed with in February 2022,[5] and also marks the first time since 2017's The Rise of Chaos that they had recorded as a five-piece band rather than a six-piece.
Humanoid has received positive reviews from critics. Dom Lawson of
Blabbermouth.net gave the album a rating of seven-and-a-half out of ten, writing, "For those who enjoyed the previous five, there is absolutely nothing here that fails to live up to expectations. Accept are, and have always been, exceptionally good at heavy metal. It's their thing", and added that the album "can be devoured as another generous serving of fresh metal anthems." Lawson also referred to "Unbreakable" and "Mind Games" as "among the finest songs that the band have written since 2009", and "Straight Up Jack" as "so unapologetic about its debt to
AC/DC that resistance is useless."[6]
