Too Mean to Die is the sixteenth studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, released on 29 January 2021.[1][5] It is the first Accept album to feature Martin Motnik, who replaced original bassist Peter Baltes in 2019, and the only one to feature rhythm guitarist Philip Shouse, who joined the band that same year;[1] as such, Too Mean to Die would be their only album to be recorded as a six-piece band as opposed to a five-piece. As the band had signed to Napalm Records in February 2022, this is their last album to be released on Nuclear Blast.[6]
