Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

Former ACCEPT members Herman Frank and David Reece are working together on a new project.

Frank, who is promoting his fifth solo album, "Two For A Lie", broke the news of the collaboration in a brand new interview with Justin Smulison of Jace Media.

He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I'm working right now — already working since a couple of months [ago] — on another project I wanna do with a singer, a well-known singer. He played in the same band as I did, but we never played [in the band] at the same time."

When Smulison guessed that Frank was referring to Reece, the guitarist said: "How do you know? Good guess."

Herman went on to say that he is not involved in Reece's ongoing collaboration with ex-U.D.O./SINNER guitarist Andy Susemihl.

"[David is] doing his REECE album, as I know," Frank said. "But I'm in contact with David. Hey, we'll see. It's like Christmas. I think we have to wait for a couple of more weeks."

Former Accept members Herman Frank & David Reece, along with Victory members Malte Burkert and Mike Pesin, and former U.D.O. drummer Francesco Jovino, are presenting their new hard-hitting heavy metal band, Iron Allies. The band has signed with AFM Records, and will release their debut album, Blood In Blood Out, on October 21.

Herman Frank and David Reece are the classic combination of song-writing guitarist and first-rate lyricist cum singer, a combination that, more than once, has caused a stir in music history.

Herman Frank comments: “This record cannot be compared to anything David or I have produced in our past. It’s at the same time standing on its own, while sounding like it came from the one and the same mold. You could say: the two of us have sought and found each other!"
