HEAVY METAL

Germany heavy metal greats Accept are celebrating 50 years in action with a star-studded double-album of classic covers and Sikkim-origin artist Girish Pradhan has been enlisted to sing their 1981 song “Breaker” on ‘Teutonic Titans 1976-2026,’ releasing on September 4, 2026.

Girish Pradhan, the frontman of hard rock/heavy metal band Girish And The Chronicles, is sharing space alongside heavy metal’s top artists. Judas Priest’s Rob Halford, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, Pantera’s Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown, Scorpions’ Matthias Jabs, Ghost’s Tobias Forge, The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan, Testament’s Chuck Billy and Alex Skolnick are among several more on the 19-track album.

“There’s a responsibility that comes with songs like this. You want to preserve that spirit while bringing your own identity into it,” Pradhan says.
