Volbeat is back with a new album and fresh sound!

The Danish rock band Volbeat has released its new album "God of Angels Trust" today, which represents a striking change in the sound of the band after more than 20 years in the music business. As vienna.at , Michael Poulsen, the founder and front man of Volbeat, shows a refreshing approach to the songwriting. This time he left excessive brooding behind and created the songs with more freedom in the song structure, without the characteristic sound of the band, which is often referred to as "Elvis metal".

The album contains catchy melodies, danceable rhythms and hymnic chorus. The song "In the Barn of the Goat Giving Birth to Satan’s Spawn in A Dying World of Doom", which has no classic chorus, is particularly outstanding. More confident structures can be found in tracks such as "Acid Rain", "Time Will Heal" and "Lonely Fields", which is based on a dream experience of Poulsen with his late father. "Time Will Heal" addresses personal low points and the loss of his father, while "Demonic Depression" treats mental crises and convey a universal message.

new influences and challenges

Poulsen, who had to struggle with voice problems in the past, brought fresh inspiration into music despite his challenges. After a third operation on his vocal cords and working on his Side project Asinhell, which shows his influence through classic Death Metal, he found a new creative way for Volbeat. The new album, the first since "Servant of the Mind" from 2021, was recorded in just 13 days, whereby the band was aiming for a live atmosphere in the studio, such as blabbermouth.net reported.

As Flemming C. Lund as the new lead guitarist, the band reinforced, this new line-up radiated a fresh air. Poulsen believes that Volbeat is in a better position than ever before, even if the change in the band is a challenge that he does not want to experience again. Lund is at the band for a year and will be re -evaluated the Situation at the end of the year.
