New album “God Of Angels Trust: out June 6th
New Song “By A Monster’s Hand”

 

“It’s inspired by some of the real serial killers throughout history. I don’t want to use their names since I don’t want to give them any credit, but it’s a fact that they were here and some are still around. The good thing is that those older well-known killers were captured and if they weren’t laid to rest, they were locked up and the keys were thrown away. The scary part is that in these modern days we can see them on the news every day and the ones who are supposed to be locking them up are either in on it or are just trying to keep themselves alive. In that sense, the song is also about finding the key to lock up these motherfuckers with and throwing it away.” – Michael Poulsen

“In the past, I’ve taken a long time to write and obsessed over so many elements of the songs before finishing them,” explains frontman Michael Poulsen. “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.’”

 

Poulsen’s excitement to thwart convention is palpable throughout God Of Angels Trust, a punchy, crunchy album that’s undeniably Volbeat, yet marches to a fresh new metallic and melodic energy. The opening track, “Devils Are Awake,” starts with a thunderous, marching, syncopated rhythm before bursting into a punk riff that briefly yields to a choppy thrash rhythm before changing course again and injecting a melodic vocal rich and guitar harmony.  From there, Volbeat rip, snarl, and spit fire, daring naysayers to criticize their unconventional arrangements.
