KING DIAMOND To Appear On The NEW VOLBEAT Album?

Denmark's VOLBEAT has recorded an album that seamlessly brings together all of the band's influences and reshapes them into something gleaming and NEW. Set to be released on April 9 all over the world, 'Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies' is a record that’s rich with stories and characters woven throughout its lyrics.  Some are real – like the noble lady outlaw Pearl Hart, who held up a stagecoach to buy medicine for her dying mother, or Lola Montez, the erotic dancer with her infamous ‘Spider Dance,’ or Black Bart, the gentleman highwayman who wrote poems for the people he robbed. Others are entirely fictional. "The Nameless One" is a cautionary tale of dabbling in the dark arts, featuring the mysterious and sinister character of the title.  Elsewhere, "Room 24" was inspired by a terrifying experience in a hotel room somewhere in the heart of America.

"Room 24" features a massive coup for VOLBEAT with the guest appearance from KING DIAMOND, the legendary front man of Danish Metal pioneers Mercyful Fate, and one of Poulsen’s  musical idols. Poulsen commented: 

"I’m a huge fan of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. Having King on the record is a huge privilege. Normally, it’s not something he does. He wrote his own lines, and it is half my lyrics and half his. It’s a weird, scary story, and he’s the perfect person for it."

Get stoked for the NEW VOLBEAT! "Wanna get a sneak peak of the album recording session and listen to new music? Check out this trailer on the brand NEW Volbeat homepage! So sign in, turn up & freak out!" Access the video at this link:

Recently, Rob Caggiano announced that he was leaving Anthrax in order to focus on producing records (he is currently producing the NEW Volbeat album). More info HERE!

Yesterday (February 20), Caggiano performed live with VOLBEAT for the very first time ever. Here is what Caggiano Tweeted right after the performance of the band in Copenhagen, Denmark:

Played my first show with @volbeat tonight. A few mistakes but overall a great show! After 3-4 we'll be rocking.#nervous#Copenhagen
— Robert Caggiano (@RobCaggiano) February 20, 2013

As why he left ANTHRAX:
"My heart simply wasn't in it anymore. I had a blast playing with those guys, and they will always be family to me. But outside of my guitar solos and production work, Anthrax was never a creative outlet for me."

- 2/20: Ringsted, Denmark at Kongrescenter
- 2/22: Odense, Denmark at Posten
- 2/23: Aarhus, Denmark at Voxhall
