Volbeat presents a new album: a pleasure for music lovers!

Kopenhagen, Dänemark - Volbeat released its new studio album "God of Angels Trust" on June 5, 2025. This work marks a turning point in the band history and reflects both the beginnings of the group and the current songwriter experiences of front man Michael Poulsen. Poulsen, which also composed half of the album without conventional song structure, hopes for first place in the charts after the last four albums were successful, including the 2021 album "Servant of the Mind", which served as the basis for this creative thrust. The singer explained that you can drink "milk, lemonade, whiskey, rum and beer at the same time", which underlines the versatile musical atmosphere that the band wants to transport. This reports OE24.

In an interview with Blabbermouth, Poulsen emphasizes that the creative process for the new album is spontaneous and the carefree of earlier times. After several voice operations, including a third operation on his vocal cords, Poulsen feels refreshed and believes that Volbeat is now better positioned than ever. The atypical writing process enables the band to bring the energy and charm of their beginnings back. The new lead guitarist Flemming C. Lund, who has replaced Rob Caggiano and has committed himself for at least one year of the band, is also particularly important. This is a challenge for Poulsen, since the change of band members is always difficult.

personal insights from Michael Poulsen

Poulsen, born on April 1, 1975, can look back on an eventful past. Previously, he was the singer of the Death Metal band Dominus, where he discovered his love for the metal and finally culminated in the foundation of Volbeat. His childhood in Ringsted was characterized by music greats such as Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, which influenced him sustainably. During his career, he also made a name for himself with his side project Asinhell, which received great attention in 2023 and 2024.

In another personal review, Poulsen mentions that his daughter, who is 8 years old, recognizes her father's rock star life, but does not find it interesting. His 4-year-old son, on the other hand, does not yet fully understand his father's success. In his basement there is no hints on his music career, except for an atmospheric bar in the style of the 1930s.

tour and anniversary

Volbeat plans to publish the "Greatest of All Tours" in autumn in time to publish the new album, where the band wants to present at least six new songs. In 2026, Volbeat will celebrate 25 years of band history, an important milestone for the group that has grown continuously since its foundation and has a remarkable influence on rock music.

The combination of personal development, creative freedom and the love of music shows that Volbeat is on a promising path. The fans can look forward to a varied album that honors the band's roots and at the same time explore new musical facets. In this context, Poulsen reflects that the band refreshes after the Asinhell tour and is ready for new adventures, which will not only enrich the musical landscape of Volbeat, but also the entire rock scene.
