Volbeat Returns with New Album and Tour – Heavy Metal Domination Awaits

Hold onto your seats, metalheads, because Volbeat is back with a vengeance. The Danish rock ‘n’ rollers are set to announce their highly anticipated ninth studio album this Thursday, March 6, at 2 p.m. CET (8 a.m. ET). Alongside the album details, fans can expect the release of a brand-new single and the unveiling of tour dates that promise to set stages ablaze worldwide.

This forthcoming album marks Volbeat’s first major release since 2021’s “Servant of the Mind,” a record that showcased their signature blend of heavy metal, rockabilly, and punk influences. The band has been hard at work crafting new material, with frontman Michael Poulsen channeling fresh inspiration, possibly influenced by his recent work with his death metal side project, Asinhell.

In October 2023, Poulsen underwent throat surgery, leading the band to take a hiatus from live performances throughout 2024. Now, with Poulsen’s recovery and the band’s rejuvenated energy, Volbeat is poised to reclaim their throne in the heavy metal arena.

The upcoming tour will be the first without longtime guitarist Rob Caggiano, who parted ways with the band in June 2023. Filling his shoes for the 2023 summer tour was Flemming C. Lund of The Arcane Order, though it’s yet to be confirmed if he will join as a permanent member.

Volbeat’s fusion of relentless riffs, melodic hooks, and undeniable stage presence has earned them a devoted global following. Their return is not just a comeback—it’s a resurgence that promises to reignite the flames of heavy metal passion.

Stay tuned for Thursday’s announcement, and prepare yourselves for the sonic assault that only Volbeat can deliver. In the meantime, revisit their electrifying performances and discography to gear up for what’s to come.
