Stalingrad is the thirteenth studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, which was released on April 6, 2012, by the independent German record label Nuclear Blast Records. It is their second album since their 2009 reunion, and like its predecessor, Blood of the Nations (2010), was produced by Andy Sneap.
Critical reception of the album has been largely favorable. AllMusic published a review giving the album three-and-a-half stars out of five. Reviewer James Christopher Monger also noted that current vocalist Tornillo does an "awfully convincing Udo Dirkschneider impression."Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles and Thrash Hits also gave the album positive reviews.
The album was successful, debuting at number six on the German albums chart.Stalingrad also debuted at number 81 on the Billboard 200, becoming Accept's first album to crack the top 100 in the United States since Metal Heart (1985), which peaked at number 94.
