As of June 2025, there is no official announcement from Accept regarding a new lead vocalist replacing Mark Tornillo. Tornillo has been with the band since 2009, following the departure of original singer Udo Dirkschneider. Under Tornillo’s tenure, Accept has released several successful albums, including *Blood of the Nations* (2010), *Stalingrad* (2012), *Blind Rage* (2014), *The Rise of Chaos* (2017), and *Too Mean to Die* (2021) .([sleazeroxx.com][1])
In October 2022, Tornillo was temporarily absent from a performance in Toronto due to vocal strain caused by a viral infection. The band chose to proceed with a shortened set, with members Christopher Williams and Martin Motnik handling the vocal parts. Drummer Williams emphasized the difficulty of replacing Tornillo, noting the band’s commitment to performing live without relying on backing tracks .([sleazeroxx.com][2], [blabbermouth.net][3])
While Tornillo has occasionally participated in side projects, such as the cover band Gotham, there is no indication that he has left Accept. The band’s lineup currently includes Tornillo on vocals, Wolf Hoffmann on guitar, Uwe Lulis on guitar, Philip Shouse on guitar, Martin Motnik on bass, and Christopher Williams on drums .([de.wikipedia.org][4])
Therefore, unless there has been a very recent development not covered in the available sources, Mark Tornillo remains the lead vocalist of Accept.
