Restless and Wild is the fourth studio album by German heavy metal band Accept, released in 1982 in Continental Europe and in 1983 in the US and UK. It was the first Accept album not to be recorded at Delta-Studio, since the band had moved to Dieter Dierks` studio in Stommeln. It is also the first Accept album in which Udo Dirkschneider sings every track, as well as the first in which manager Gaby Hauke (`Deaffy`) gains credits for songwriting. Michael Wagener, once again, handled recording and mixing duties here.

Album information
Jan Koemmet joined the band briefly before the release of this album, but did not participate in the recording.[2] The guitar on the finished product is done by Wolf Hoffmann alone, although Herman Frank had joined the band by the time the album was released, and is credited on the album cover.[3]

The album is best known for the opening track, `Fast as a Shark`. Stefan Kaufmann`s double kick drumming on the song is considered a precursor of thrash metal, preceding the debut releases of both Metallica and Slayer.

Another well-known track is the album closer, `Princess of the Dawn`, a tense song that Dirkschneider describes as `a Cinderella story` and `like a Lord of the Rings fantasy` with no deep meaning.[4] Wolf Hoffmann achieved the haunting mandolin-like effect by recording the guitar at half-speed, then having it played back at normal speed.[5] He describes the sudden ending as `an idea that didn`t work so well.`[2]

Versions of the album released outside Germany were issued with a different cover, replacing the picture of burning guitars with a shot of the band live in concert. American death metal band Cannibal Corpse has made a cover of the song `Demon`s Night` on their EP Worm Infested.

On 25 January 2011 the album was performed in its entirety at a special show in Switzerland.[6]
