ACCEPT Announce Departure Of Guitarist UWE LULIS After A Decade With The Band

Legendary heavy metal force Accept have announced the departure of guitarist Uwe Lulis, marking the end of a decade-long chapter in the band’s storied career. Lulis first joined Accept in 2014, stepping in to replace longtime axeman Herman Frank.

The band issued the following statement earlier today: “After deep deliberation, Accept will return to the traditional two guitar player lineup and has parted ways with German guitarist Uwe Lulis,” wrote Accept. “This decision was solely based on logistical challenges, with no personal or musical disagreements at all. Uwe and Accept are on excellent terms and remain good friends, Metal Brothers in Arms and will continue to be so.

“We had a fantastic decade together, created killer songs and brought metal to the biggest stages around the world. We wish him all the best and celebrate our time together with honour and utmost respect. Uwe is a very successful metal producer, and has his own Uwe Lulis Project which we invite you all to check out and follow! Onwards and upwards brother!! We salute you.”

Lulis leaves behind a significant mark on Accept‘s modern era, having performed on acclaimed albums and toured worldwide with the group. While Accept move forward with their classic two-guitar lineup, Lulis will continue his musical journey as both a producer and with his Uwe Lulis Project.
