Wolf Hoffmann - Headbangers Symphony (2016)

A multi-talented instrumentalist, songwriter, and photographer, Wolf Hoffmann is best known as the guitarist for German heavy metal legends Accept, with whom he has been involved with since 1976. In addition to his work with Accept, the German-born Hoffmann has also worked with Sebastian Bach, Skew Siskin, and Joe Lynn Turner, and released a pair of well-regarded solo outings, including 1997's Classical, which offered up a set of electric guitar-led versions of famous classical pieces, and 2016's like-minded Headbangers Symphony. Hoffmann, who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, has a second career as a professional commercial photographer. ~ James Christopher Monger
