VOLBEAT SHARE PERSONAL NEW SINGLE "TIME WILL HEAL" + VIDEO — WATCH HERE
MASSIVE NEW ALBUM GOD OF ANGELS TRUST ARRIVES JUNE 6
U.K. ARENA DATES IN NOVEMBER
VOLBEAT — Michael Poulsen (vocals, guitar), and Jon Larsen (drums), and Kaspar Boye Larsen (bass) — are getting closer and closer to the release of their ninth album God Of Angels Trust. This album arrives on June 6 via longtime label Vertigo/Universal. Pre-order it here.
The album will coincide with plenty of summer touring on the band's "Greatest Of All Tours Worldwide," with further dates and details below.
Ahead of the release and touching down for tour, the band has shared the video for the impactful track Time Will Heal."
The track is a supremely catchy, mid-tempo anthem that captures everything you love about Volbeat's sound. The visual pairs performance footage with some sanguine-soaked action in a red room. And a G.O.A.T. Literally.
Overall, though, it's an intensely personal track for the band and its frontman.
"Through life, we go through these ups and downs, and sometimes, it's like turning on a switch and it can change from one minute to another," says Poulsen. "We suddenly get in a sad, emotional mood where there just doesn't seem to be a way to see the light or good in anything. But we always find a way to make things good again. I'm good at turning those moments around quickly, but that comes with accepting the good with the bad and using the bad moments to grow and learn instead of letting them bother you more that it should and having your mind manipulate reality. The important thing is to realise that while nothing can be good forever, do not let the dark side of life take over. Have the confidence to know there will be better days ahead when we're dealing with these moments or demons and we're struggling to find anything good in what we're doing."
He pulls the curtain back even further, sharing, "I'm still struggling with the loss of my father. I would say 80 percent of the time I'm coping with the loss and doing well. But then sometimes, I'm falling into these black holes where everything is empty and nothing is fair. I'm so grateful I have kids because when they come into your life, suddenly, everything is not about you. It's about the kids and you can't spend too much of your energy being down because they need you. So, it’s been a blessing having kids. It's the best thing that ever happened to me."
With God Of Angels Trust, the Danish band - which has scored 11 No. 1 songs on the Billboard Mainstream Rock airplay chart, with the latest being the new album's first single "By A Monster's Hand," marking the most ever for a band based outside North America - have thrown caution to the wind, ignored comfort zones, and paid little heed to traditional songwriting in the search for something more immediate and surprising. The end result will thrill VOLBEAT's dedicated legion of fans.
"In the past, I've taken a long time to write and obsessed over so many elements of the songs before finishing them," says Poulsen. "This time, I wanted to make a Volbeat record without thinking too much about it. Instead of following any kind of structure I said, 'Okay, there are no rules. I can do anything I want. I can start with a chorus or do songs that are just a bunch of verses stacked on top of each other. Anything goes.' That was freeing for me and made it exciting to write this album."
Poulsen's excitement to thwart convention is palpable throughout God Of Angels Trust, a punchy, crunchy album that's undeniably VOLBEAT, yet marches to a fresh new metallic and melodic energy.
As impressive as it is that VOLBEAT wrote and recorded an entire album in about five weeks, what's more incredible is that God Of Angels Trust sounds as fleshed out, eclectic, and fulfilling as albums that have taken 10 times longer (or more) to create. In the end, creating such a strong album so quickly was a tremendous challenge that demanded Zen-like calm, a joy for exploration, maximal creativity, and razor-sharp concentration to pull off.
