Volbeat's 7th Studio Album, REWIND, REPLAY, REBOUND Out Now Via Republic Records

Today, multi-platinum Danish rock band Volbeat release their seventh studio album Rewind, Replay, Rebound. For the album, Volbeat- Michael Poulsen (guitars/vocals), Rob Caggiano (guitars), Kaspar Boye Larsen (bass), and Jon Larsen (drums) -build upon the distinct, psychobilly, punk-tinged rock 'n' roll sound they are known for, while reaching for new creative summits. "The whole point for us going into the studio, is because you still have something to prove - not just for the fans, but mostly for yourself," says Poulsen. "We would not be able to do this record if it wasn't for the work we have done in the past. No matter how old the band gets or how many records we do, there is always going to be that signature sound." Rewind, Replay, Rebound is available on all formats here, including a 2 CD deluxe edition, a special deluxe edition box set, and transparent and blue colored vinyl, numbered and limited to 1,000 copies each.

Consequence of Sound also spoke to Poulsen about the new record, and he reveals "I can say 100 percent that I feel this lineup is the strongest lineup in the Volbeat history so far, both when it comes to working together on the music and being together offstage. I feel that leaves a very important mark in the music, where I can hear that we are having fun." They also say of the album in their review, "Volbeat's knack for writing songs with intriguing lyrics and memorable hooks continues." Read the full interview with Consequence of Sound here.

The band are currently on the road in North America with Slipknot as special guests on the Knotfest Roadshow North American Tour alongside Gojira and Behemoth. Tickets for these dates are on sale now here. The band has also announced the first leg of the Rewind, Replay, Rebound World Tour, with support from Baroness & Danko Jones. This tour will find the band performing in cities across the UK and Europe including London, Madrid, Berlin, Hamburg and Stockholm (full dates below) and tickets for all dates are on sale now here.

The band recently debuted the music video for their new song "Cheapside Sloggers," featuring a guest guitar solo by Gary Holt of Exodus and Slayer. "I wanted to add something new and not typical, so why not bring in Gary Holt? He is a great guitar player, and the solo sounds great," says singer and vocalist Michael Poulsen. The video was directed by Shan Dan Horan of Shadow Born Group. Watch the video for "Cheapside Sloggers (feat. Gary Holt)" here.

At this point in their already storied career, Volbeat have opened for Metallica, Motorhead and Slipknot, garnered a 2014 Best Metal Performance Grammy nomination for "Room 24" and won multiple Danish Music Awards. For this album, they mine their own personal histories and that of their genre. The song "When We Were Kids" finds Volbeat ruminating on immortality and innocence we all naively experience in our youth, while "Rewind the Exit" and "Die to Live" both explore how the pursuit of perfection can be a hollow goal.

Rewind, Replay, Rebound was produced by long-time collaborator Jacob Hansen and co-produced by Rob Caggiano and Michael Poulsen. This marks the first studio album with Kaspar Boye Larsen on bass. To achieve the album's sound the band also drew upon a myriad of guests including backing vocalist Mia Maja and the Harlem Gospel Choir, who both return after appearing on 2016's Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie. Clutch vocalist Neil Fallon is featured on "Die to Live," a collaboration that is the result of the bands touring together and a love for the singer's gruff and powerful style. Raynier Jacob Jacildo (piano) and Doug Corocran (saxophone) of JD McPherson's band also lend their talents to the song. Ultimately, Volbeat have not lost their passion to create and progress. It's that which keeps them hungry - and musically honest on the new album.

VOLBEAT emerged from Copenhagen in 2001. Since then, they've tirelessly clawed their way to hard rock's upper echelon with endless touring and a string of six beloved full-length albums. Recently, their 2010 album Beyond Hell/Above Heaven, which features hit singles "A Warrior's Call" and "Heaven Nor Hell," received RIAA Gold Certification. 2013's Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies bowed at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 upon release marking the highest U.S. chart entry for a Danish Act since 1997 until the band's 2016 album Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie topped it by debuting at #4. Most recently the band released Let's Boogie! Live At Telia Parken, a concert film and album documenting their landmark 2017 Copenhagen show in front of 48,250 fans, the largest show a Danish band has ever performed in Denmark.
