Eat the Heat is a 1989 release by German Heavy Metal band Accept. It was recorded at Dierks-Studios, in Cologne, from September 1988 to January 1989. Although Jim Stacey is presented as guitar player in the band on the album cover, the cover text also states that all guitars are by Wolf Hoffmann.
Accept parted ways with Udo Dirkschneider in order to take a more commercial direction in their music. This is Accept's only album without Udo Dirkschneider as lead vocalist. While many fans had difficulty with both the singer and direction, as time passes this disc is being seen as perhaps Accept's greatest and most accessible offering.
Udo's somewhat dreary band U.D.O. contributes with crowd vocals on "Turn The Wheel". U.D.O. has also covered the song "X-T-C" on the 2001 compilation "A Tribute To Accept II". Accept later recorded "Generation Clash II" based on "Generation Clash" with Udo Dirkschneider on vocals for their 1994 album Death Row.
