Volbeat Writing New Music

Posted by caemanamelio on

It looks like Volbeat have been using their coronavirus downtime to work on new music. Bassist Kaspar Boye Larsen recently confirmed the news to “Cutter’s Rockcast,” saying that the new material is “very uptempo.”

Larsen said the following:

“Well, fortunately, we are opening up a little bit here in Denmark, so, actually, my kids are in kindergarten daycare, and my wife’s just started work again. So I am able to be a little bit creative.

We were supposed to be on tour in the U.S. right now. That’s not happening. I’m really bummed out about that. But we are actually writing new music right now. That’s what we can do — the only thing we can do right now.

Every band out there is writing music right now. There will be tons of records next year, maybe even in the later part of this year.”

He went on to say that “all the anxiety and the fear of the future” has provided the band with “a lot of inspiration” for their new album:

“I think the next VOLBEAT album will be quite different from the previous two or three records. It’s very uptempo.”

Volbeat Officially Cancel North American Tour With Clutch & The Picturebooks

Posted by caemanamelio on

Volbeat have officially cancelled their North American tour with Clutch and The Picturebooks due to the coronavirus pandemic. The band were previously hoping to reschedule the trek, but they were unable to do so.

The band commented:

“Hello Volfam!

We hate to be another band starting a post with “due to the current circumstances,” so instead we will say how much we were looking forward to the US headline leg of the Rewind, Replay, Rebound tour.

Coming to see you in your hometowns with a full-length Volbeat set and getting to play alongside Clutch and The Picturebooks, two amazing bands we are lucky enough to call friends, was going to be a major highlight for the band.

We, alongside our team, the local promoters and venues have all been working hard to try to reschedule these shows but as the timing for the safe return of live events is still unclear, we feel it is best to cancel the tour.

Again, we can’t say enough how much we were looking forward to this run, and we will make plans to be back in North America as soon as it is safe for stages to open back up.

Please keep an eye on your inboxes as you will soon be receiving information about ticket refunds from your point of purchase.’

In the meantime, please continue to stay safe, take care of yourselves and each other, and we’ll see each other again as soon as we can.

– Volbeat”
