Death Row (album)

Death Row is the tenth studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, released in 1994. It was recorded at Roxx Studios in Pulheim, Germany.

Stefan Kaufmann was still the official drummer for Accept, but drums on "Bad Habits Die Hard" and "Prejudice" are by Stefan Schwarzmann according to the liner notes. Stefan Kaufmann had to leave the band for the subsequent tour because of health problems, and Stefan Schwarzmann then handled drum duties.

Background
The album was first recorded at the Roxx studios, with drummer Stefan Kaufmann serving as a sound engineer. On Death Row, Stefan Schwarzmann already played the drums for two songs. Kaufmann had to leave the band on the next tour because of a back injury. On the album, the band tried to take a tougher course than the previous one and combined the traditional styles with some – at this time modern – bonds from the extreme metal.

Track listing
All lyrics and music written by Accept and Deaffy, except where noted.

Notes
 * "Drifting Apart" is listed as "Drifting Away" on some editions
