A Father-Son Metal Journey
Across Generations: Two generations. Two bassists. One passion. In this
Father’s Day exclusive, father-son bassists Peter (Accept/U.D.O./Dirkschneider)
and Sebastian (Howling Giant) share a powerful story of music, family, and
legacy. From headlining the arenas of the '80s metal scene to surviving the
grind of today’s DIY tours, this candid conversation explores their shared love
of heavy music, Peter’s old-school wisdom, Sebastian’s rising path in the
contemporary metal scene, and their deep musical bond. Raw, insightful, and
heavy—this is generational metal at its finest!
