Volbeat conquer Vienna: New album and innovative sounds in autumn!

The Danish rock band Volbeat has announced its return to the scene with a new album that will significantly change the group's musical landscape. On June 6, 2025, her latest work "God of Angels Trust" will be released. After more than 20 years in the music business, the musicians are forced to question Frontmann Michael Poulsen to question their own formula. In an interview, Poulsen explains that there are now fewer rules and structures in songwriting - a creative process that differs greatly from the previous albums. The band sees itself as a bridge builder between different music genres and combines influences from metallica-heavyness with rock’n’roll and rockabilly. [Puls24] (https://www.puls24.at/news/ententainment/volbeat-hinterforchs-forge-formel- und--.-wien/414307) reports that this new style also breaks out old hearing habits, while the characteristic sound is preserved.

An example of the fresh approaches in songwriting is the title "In the Barn of the Goat Giving Birth to Satan’s Spawn in A Dying World of Doom", which has no classic chorus. However, more traditional structures can be found in songs such as "Acid Rain", "Time Will Heal" and "Lonely Fields". The latter is particularly emotional, inspired by Poulsen's memories of his late father. The band also addresses personal low points and loss in “Time Will Heal”. "Demonic Depression" deals with mental crises based on the experiences of a friend. These topics draw a whole new picture of the band and show that Volbeat also process profound emotions in their music.

the tour and the album

Volbeat will promote her new album with a world tour, which operates under the title "Greatest of All Tours Worldwide". The first concerts will take place in the Wiener Stadthalle in September and October 2025, specifically on September 30th and October 1st. The Danish rockers receive support from the bands Bush and Witch Fever. This tour promises to become a highlight for the fans, since the band is now on the Billboard mainstream rock Airplay Chart for ten #1 hits - a masterpiece that only succeeds in a few bands outside of North America. Blabbermouth informs that the first live appearances in a co-headliner tour in Canada will begin.

The exciting news does not end at the album or the upcoming concerts. As part of the album release, Volbeat has already released the first single "By a Monster’s Hand", which is accompanied by an impressive music video. This video shows the band in action-packed live performances and was produced by Ghost Atomic directed by Adam Rothlein.

The story of Volbeat

was founded in October 2001 by Michael Poulsen after leaving the Death Metal band Dominus. With the vision of going new musical ways, the group published its debut album "The Strength / The Sound / The Songs" in 2005, which had already celebrated great successes and was awarded the best debut album at the Danish Metal Awards in 2006. Over the years they wrote history with sold-out concerts and numerous platinum albums, including "Rock the Rebel / Metal The Devil" and "Beyond Hell / Above Heaven". Wikipedia states that Volbeat always reinvented herself in the music business and always remained at the top of her genre mix.

Overall, the development of the band shows that it is always ready to develop and face new challenges. With the upcoming album and the tour, enthusiasm is not only with the fans, but also in the music scene.
