German heavy metal pioneers Accept have just unveiled the album artwork for their upcoming album, The Rise Of Chaos. The artwork made by Hungarian artist Gyula Havancsák features Accept's stage set, only now seen as if it were destroyed. The Rise Of Chaos will be released on August 4th through Nuclear Blast Records. The day before the release, Accept will play a special show at Wacken Open Air consisting of three parts. A setlist with new and old hits, the second part features solo material from Wolf Hoffmann and the Czech National Symphonic Orchestra and finally the third part will consist of all these elements brought together.

Wolf Hoffmann had the following to say about the album artwork: "'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 is our last stage set, but now clearly 'destroyed' ? like? after a catastrophe."
