This tour will see the band performing in cities including London, Madrid, Berlin, Hamburg, and Stockholm (full dates below) and tickets for all dates will go on sale here on Friday, May 24th at 9AM BST. Today, the band also announces the first leg of the “Rewind, Replay, Rebound” world tour, with support from Baroness & Danko Jones. It’s that which keeps them hungry – and musically honest on the new album. Ultimately, VOLBEAT have not lost their passion to create and progress. “Die To Live” is right up my alley because it’s a straight no chaser rock and roller.” Raynier Jacob Jacildo (piano) and Doug Corocran (saxophone) of JD McPherson’s band also lend their talents to the song.

Fallon comments, “A few months back, totally out of the blue, I got an email from Michael asking if I’d be interested in singing on a new Volbeat track. I was really surprised and even more so flattered. I gave it a listen and was sold. Clutch vocalist Neil Fallon is featured on “Die To Live,” the result of touring together and a love for the singer’s gruff and powerful style. “Cheapside Sloggers” features a ripping guitar solo by Exodus and Slayer guitarist, Gary Holt. In addition to again working with backing vocalist Mia Maja on several tracks, they also reunited with the Harlem Gospel Choir. To achieve the album’s sound, the band also drew upon a myriad of guests. This marks the first studio album with Kaspar Boye Larsen on bass. ‘Rewind, Replay, Rebound’ was produced by long-time collaborator Jacob Hansen and co-produced by Rob Caggiano and Michael Poulsen. But he wakes up and feels like he has been given a second chance…” The song “When We Were Kids” finds VOLBEAT ruminating on immortality and innocence we 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. Poulsen admits, “When I read his book, he went through tough times with alcohol and drugs… He walked into a cave to lay down to die. For this album, they mine their own personal histories and that of their genre: “Last Day Under The Sun” lyrics are inspired by a book about Johnny Cash. At this point in their already storied career, VOLBEAT has opened for Metallica, Motorhead, and Slipknot, garnered the 2014 Best Metal Performance Grammy nomination for “Room 24” and won multiple Danish Music Awards.
