Volbeat Is Done Sitting Down.
Volbeat is back, and they’re not interested in subtlety. God of Angels Trust kicks down the door and tells you to get up—because you’re not sitting through this one.
“Devils Are Awake” punches through the speakers, demanding attention with thick, heavy power chords, lightning-speed drums and vocals that waste no time. It’s fast, aggressive and unrelenting—a clear message that Volbeat is done with restraint.
And they’re just getting started. “By a Monster’s Hand” rolls in with another heavy riff and nonstop drumming. It’s slightly slower, but fractionally. The track is intentionally crafted, with enough grit to rattle your spine but plenty of melody to keep things interesting.
“Acid Rain” takes a slight detour. It’s still heavy, but with a melodic edge that lets the vocals filter through a bit more. It’s less aggressive, more refined—if only for a moment.
Because then, “Demonic Depression” hits. And it hits hard. Easily one of the album’s most brutal tracks, it’s a relentless storm of chaos with vocals that are powerful and thundering. It’s as punishing as it is impressive.
“Better Be Fueled than Tamed” throws melody out the window and doubles down on chaos. It doesn’t let up—nor should it have to. It’s pure kinetic energy in song form. The whole album, in essence, feels like one long adrenaline shot. It takes no breaks, prisoners or fillers. It’s pure fuel.
And as “Enlighten the Disorder (By a Monster’s Hand Part 2)” closes the set, Volbeat doesn’t let the pace drop. It’s a sequel that lives up to the original—fast, sharp, heavy and anything but boring.
God of Angels Trust isn’t looking to reinvent anything. It’s here to thrash, kick and burrow in your head. You’ll thank it for the bruises.
