Metallica Share Volbeat’s Cover Of “Don’t Tread On Me” & SebastiAn’s “Don’t Tread On Else Matters” From “The Metallica Blacklist”

Posted by caemanamelio on

As previously reported, Metallica will be releasing a 30th anniversary expanded edition of “The Black Album” and a massive tribute album called “The Metallica Blacklist“ on September 10. Now, the group have shared two more tracks from “The Metallica Blacklist.” Among them are Volbeat’s cover of “Don’t Tread On Me” and SebastiAn’s “Don’t Tread On Me” and “Nothing Else Matters” covers medley “Don’t Tread On Else Matters.” Volbeat commented on their cover:

“We didn’t want to touch any of the big hits on that album, which is quite difficult because they’re all hits, somehow. We were trying to pick a song that you don’t hear as much from that album, and the most important thing was to pick a song where we could transform it into a Volbeat song. ‘Don’t Tread On Me‘ definitely had a swing that I could turn into a Volbeat‘ swing, and it turned out really great.”

Volbeat’s Michael Poulsen: “The Coming Album Is Probably The Most Heavy Record We’ve Ever Done”

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with 94.9 The Rock Toronto, Volbeat’s Michael Poulsen talked a bit about the band’s upcoming album. According to him, the effort “is probably the most heavy record [they have] ever done.”

Poulsen said the following about the album wile discussing the song “Wait A Minute My Girl,” which was recently released alongside “Dagen Før”:

“[‘Wait A Minute My Girl’ is] pretty much an old song that I wrote a long time ago; I just didn’t finish it up [until last year]. It doesn’t really say much about the coming album, which will be released later this year. Because the coming album is probably the most heavy record we’ve ever done. There’s a lot of heavy riffing, like old BLACK SABBATH, early METALLICA, even some death metal in there. But these two singles that we released, they don’t really represent the album. But this track ‘Wait A Minute My Girl’ is a pure rocker. It’s very much inspired by Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, RAMONES — those kind of things combined. And it was just one of those songs that made sense to release during the summer because everyone’s been waiting to get something new, something positive. Everybody’s been sitting at home because of COVID and everything. So we thought this track would be a good idea to release. It’s positive. It has all those summer colors that you need to be in a good mood. It kind of represents VOLBEAT in that ’50s-’60s element where you definitely can hear the Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, RAMONES inspiration. And it’s just a feel-good song. And I feel very good about it. I’m very proud of it. But, as I said, it’s not really representing the full album, because the full album is definitely the most heavy album that we’ve ever done. And this song is more like pop-rock, rock and roll ’50s kind of tune with punk elements.”

He also added:

“[‘Wait A Minute My Girl’] is just one of the tracks on the new album that just brings some light. But there’ll be a lot of thunder and lightning for the rest of the material. There’s a couple of those upbeat rock and roll, straight-in-your-face songs, but I would say probably 85 percent of the new album — which has been done since December, actually — it’s pretty heavy.”

Volbeat Premiere “Wait A Minute My Girl” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Volbeat have premiered a new video for their song “Wait A Minute My Girl.“ The clip was directed by Sean Donnelly and it includes collages by Mengqing Yuan and animation by Steve Yeung. The track, which features saxophonist Doug Corcoran and pianist Jacob Jacildo, is expected to appear on the band’s upcoming album. The group commented:

“After seeing the work they did on ‘The Lady and the Dale‘ we knew that Sean and the team at Awesome+modest could do something trippy and creative for ‘Wait A Minute My Girl.’ This video exceeded even our wildest expectations. It’s weird, fun and crazy – we absolutely love it.”

Jon Larsen Says Volbeat’s New Album Is Finished

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with Brazilian music journalist Igor Miranda, Volbeat drummer Jon Larsen offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, the effort “is done” and “ready to go.”

Larsen said the following:

“The album is done; it’s ready. But I can’t reveal the release date yet. Of course, in modern times, you’ll find out online. But it’s all set, it’s ready to go, and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna blow your socks off.”

He continued when asked if the group’s latest singles, “Wait A Minute My Girl” and “Dagen Før,” will appear on the record:

“Oh, yeah. Of course they will. Why shouldn’t they? I don’t think they really represent how the total of the album sounds, but it’s two typical VOLBEAT songs — straight-up rock and roll. Good for the summer — sit outside, have a cold one, some barbecue or whatever, tap your feet along, sing along. But, yeah, of course those two songs will be on the album as well.”

Larsen also added the following when asked about frontman Michael Poulsen’s previous comments that seemed to suggest that the new material is more aggressive and thrashy:

“Well, it’s definitely heavier — let me put it that way. I wouldn’t really call it more aggressive. It might be — I’m not really sure — but it’s definitely got some of the old vintage VOLBEAT heavy elements to it. There’s definitely some really heavy songs on it. Yeah, there might be a little bit of thrash on it as well — might be even a little venture into Swedish death metal perhaps. A little bit, yeah. Don’t get too scared, though. But, yeah, I think it’s a very mixed album, because you’ve definitely got the more heavier sound. We still have the more happy, punkish, even maybe pop songs, if you wanna call it that. And there’s also, I think, a few surprises on there that will definitely make people go, ‘Okay, I didn’t see that coming.’ But, yeah, I think it definitely has a mix of everything we’ve done up until now. And the vibe for the album, I think it sounds maybe more spontaneous this time, perhaps. And it definitely has a few nods and winks to our past. But, yeah, ‘heavy’ is probably the right word for it.”

Hellfest organizers commented:

“Hellbangers,

What can we say except that we are proud (and excited) to finally unveil the long-awaited line up of our anniversary edition! Keeping such a line up as a secret for several weeks has been no easy task, especially in the last few days…

It’s been more than 16 months since our work rhythm was turned upside down by the arrival of this virus, since the live music industry was extinguished. Despite this, our confidence has never been affected and we have kept working with a positive mindset.

The frustration of two years without a festival has led us to dream even bigger about our reunion! In 2022, we are offering a new and unique format spread over 10 days! Never done before, this formula will, without a doubt, remain in the history of so-called “extreme” music! Twice as historic, because this formula is meant to exist only in 2022 and will not happen again in the years to come.

After a first weekend from 17 to 19th June 2022, we double the fun with an additional weekend from 23rd to 26th June! A real marathon that will see no less than 350 artists on 6 stages!

As usual, the festival does not deviate from its principles: you will see artists capable of performing in stadiums, with artists who are usually playing in smaller venues, and for some even in pub caves. Punk, Heavy, Black, Hardcore, Death, Stoner, Pagan, Power, we have done our best to put together what we believe to be the “edition of the century”.

No need to list the program in detail as you are not, and for the second year, headbanging at the festival right now. You can find out all this by yourself, at home or with your friends, enjoying our virtual edition “Hellfest From Home“! (More information over here : fromhome.hellfest.fr)

This exceptional edition is also an opportunity for us to thank the pass holders who have been waiting for more than 2 years. Your loyalty and trust have kept us going and we do not have enough words to thank you. It seemed fair to us that you should access the ticket sale 24 hours before the public sale in order for you to obtain your ticket for sure.

We are aware that some of you, for professional, family or simply financial reasons, will not be able to attend this XXL edition. By going through (and only through!) our partner TICKETSWAP (please stop Viagogo and others…), you will be able to resell your pass for the weekend you are the least interested in, and thus make one more happy fan!

For all the others who will have the chance to live these 10 days of anthology with us, we promise that you will remember our reunion! As a bonus, we might even make you a nice “FINISHER” t-shirt so that this moment will remain engraved forever in your memories. Once in a lifetime celebration!

Last but not least, we could not finish without thanking all those who have supported us during these last months. Volunteers, intermittents, sponsors, service providers, media partners, people from Clisson, we are all eager to see you again and to live with you this future adventure, which promises to be historic!

Stay Strong. Stay Safe.

Volbeat Premiere New Songs “Wait A Minute My Girl” & “Dagen Før”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Volbeat have premiered two new songs, “Wait A Minute My Girl” and “Dagen Før.“ The band commented:

“As the weather begins to warm and the days get longer in many parts of the world, we wanted to share two songs that we wrote and recorded over these long, difficult fifteen months that have the vibe and feel of Summer. We’re beyond thankful that even during a lockdown our good friends Doug, Ray and Mia Maja were able to put the pedal to the metal with us on ‘Wait A Minute My Girl‘, and we’re absolutely thrilled that Stine Bramsen [Alphabeat], who we’ve known and admired for a long time, was willing to lend her incredible talents to ‘Dagen Før‘. We hope you enjoy this double-barreled blast of Summer tunes as much as we enjoyed creating them, and we can’t wait for you to hear what else we have in store for you. The Fall always brings the thunder and lightning…”
