Volbeat Announce 9th Album, Debut Heavy New Song, Book Giant Tour

Volbeat have just announced their new album, God of Angels Trust, alongside the debut of a music video for the new song "By a Monster's Hand" as well as a massive list of worldwide tour dates.

In other words, it's a great day to be a Volbeat fan!

The veteran Danish rockers will released their ninth album, the successor to 2021's Servant of the Mind, on June 6 via Vertigo/Universal. Volbeat again worked with longtime producer Jacob Hansen, who, as evidenced by the stomping new single, delivers another heavy, punchy recording.

Check out the music video for "By a Monster's Hand" further down the page.

Regarding the writing and recording process this time around, frontman Michael Poulsen explains, "In the past, I've taken a long time to write and obsessed over so many elements of the songs before finishing them. 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."

"In some ways, it feels like we've come full circle,” Poulsen continues. "If you start drawing a circle over an extended period of time, eventually you've going to get back where you started, and that's how I feel now. I've dealt with medical operations, lineup changes, and all these things, and now it feels like a rebirth. It doesn't feel like we're doing our ninth studio album, it feels like we're on our first album again and there's something really refreshing about that."

Volbeat, "By a Monster's Hand"

God of Angels Trust wields and additional nine songs, including one delightfully picturesque and verbose track titled "In the Barn of the Goat Giving Birth to Satan's Spawn in a Dying World of Doom."

Support for God of Angels Trust will begin immediately after the album's release.

On June 7, Volbeat will kick off their exhaustive world tour, co-headlining a series of dates in Canada with Three Days Grace and special guests Wage War.

In mid-July, a headlining U.S. tour launches in Denver, Colorado, wrapping up in Tinley Park, Illinois on Aug. 22 with Halestorm and The Ghost Inside. And, after a nearly four-week break, Volbeat will embark on a U.K. and European run with Bush and Gel as support.

Fans who pre-order the album through Volbeat or Universal Music Group webstores through 5PM local time on March 9 will receive a code to access tickets early starting March 10 at 10AM local time.
