Today, Volbeat has announced their ninth album, God Of Angels Trust, will arrive on June 6, through longtime label Republic/Universal. The album has thrown caution to the wind, ignored comfort zones and paid little heed to traditional songwriting in the search for something more immediate and surprising.
Michael Poulsen’s excitement to thwart convention is palpable throughout God Of Angels Trust, which is a punchy and crunchy album that is undeniably Volbeat and it marches toward fresh new metallic and melodic energy.
Following the album announcement, Volbeat has shared that they will be touring this summer with Halestorm. The tour will begin in June with a co-headline Canadian run with Three Days Grace and special guests Wage War, which will be followed by headline treks in the U.S. with special guests Halestorm and The Ghost Inside. The band will then be visiting Europe and the UK with special guests Bush and Gel. For tickets and more information, click here.
Also, Volbeat has shared the first taste of new music with the video for the first single, “By a Monster’s Hand.” The song is a mid-paced riff-fest with no concessions to standard meters and juxtaposing pummeling rhythms with point-counterpoint hooks. The video was produced by Ghost Atomic and directed by Adam Rothlein, the same team that lensed videos for the prior Volbeat hits “Shotgun Blues,” “Die To Live” and “Leviathan.”
