C/D: Accept

I saw some youtube video about Accepts history and I think they mentioned that it was a pseudonym for Wolf Hoffman's then girlfriend.

doing a trad heavy metal run now and man, the ratchet up in intensity between verse and pre-chorus for the title track to "Balls to the Wall" is a helluvan escalation. goes from a run of the mill mid-album sounding track to an outright anthem in no time.

One of the band's girlfriends/wives did write lyrics for them, but this Smith-Diesel seems to be a real person with multiple songwriting credits for numerous acts on Discogs?

Wolf's g/f was Deaffy

Mr Smith-Diesel:
