About this concert
I Volbeat annunciano il loro ritorno con il settimo disco Rewind, Replay, Rebound che sarà pubblicato il 2 agosto tramite Vertigo Records. Per l’album i Volbeat – Michael Poulsen (chitarra/vocalist), Rob Caggiano (chitarra), Kaspar Boye Larsen (basso) e Jon Larsen (batteria)- hanno costruito un sound distintivo, psychobilly, punk e rock ‘n’ roll, seguendo un percorso già iniziato con i precedenti lavori, ma percorrendo nuove strade creative allo stesso tempo. “Ogni volta che entriamo in studio il nostro obiettivo è metterci alla prova” – racconta Poulsen. “Non saremmo riusciti a realizzare questo nuovo progetto, senza i nostri lavori precedenti. Il nostro sound distintivo ci accompagnerà sempre, non importa quanti dischi facciamo o quanto invecchiamo”. Rewind, Replay, Rebound sarà disponibile per l’acquisto qui (inclusa una versione a 2CD, un edizione box set speciale deluxe, e un’edizione in vinile limitata).La data:14 ottobre Milano, Fabrique Attenzione! La disponibilità dei biglietti è limitata.I Volbeat hanno aperto concerti per i Metallica, i Motorhead e Slipknot, hanno ottenuto nel 2014 la nomination ai Grammy per la Best Metal Performance per “Room 24” e vinto diversi Danish Music Awards. Per questo album, si sono ispirati alle proprie esperienze e alla vita stessa. “Last Day Under The Sun” è stata scritta ispirandosi ad un libro su Johnny Cash. Poulson ha dichiarato: “In questo libro c’è un passaggio in cui Johnny Cash è devastato dall’abuso di alcool e droghe e si ritira in una grotta per lasciarsi morire. Poi un giorno si sveglia e si sente come se gli venisse data una seconda possibilità”. Inoltre, la canzone “When we were Kids” affronta il tema dell’ingenuità, dell’immortalità e dell’innocenza che caratterizzano la giovinezza di ognuno di noi, mentre “Rewind the Exit” e “Die To Live” esplorano come la ricerca della perfezione sia un obiettivo illusorio e vano.La band ha annunciato che si esibiranno con Slipknot nel loro Knotfest Roadshow North American Tour come special guest assieme a Gojira e Behemoth. Il tour di 29 date partirà il 26 luglio a Mountain View, in California.

The Volbeat show at Mohegan Sun was great! As usual they put on a fantastic show, but the reason I love them so much is their hearts. First they invited a kid to come up on stage with his father and then they invited all the kids in the front on the GA floor to come up on the stage to rock out with them. It was awesome! I was grinning ear to ear the entire time.
Halestorm opened up for them and were phenomenal. They are all incredible musicians. Their drummer is not only fantastic, but is great showman who is a lot of fun to watch.

Volbeat Biography
Volbeat is a heavy metal band from Denmark, founded in 2001. They released their first album, The Strength/the Sound/the Songs, in 2005 and the follow up, Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil, was released in Denmark on February 19, 2007, and in the rest of Europe on February 26, 2007. In March 2007, it topped the Danish album chart as the best selling album, the first metal album ever to do so.
Volbeat was formed in 2001 after frontman Michael Poulsen split up his former band, Dominus. Volbeat plays a fusion of heavy metal and rockabilly. They are inspired by the rock n' roll legends Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. No other Danish heavy rock band Volbeat has been able to get to position 18 at the Danish Top 100 for CD sales in over 10 years. This milestone was reached after their concert at the Roskilde Festival 2006.
Critics have generally been positive towards The Strength / The Sound / The Songs. The German hard rock magazine RockHard gave it 10/10 in a review.
Volbeat is also praised for its live performances. Their concert at Roskilde Festival 2006 received a 6/6 stars review in the Danish newspaper BT.
In week 8 of 2007, the record Rock The Rebel / Metal The Devil debuted as #1 in the Danish Top 40 for CD-sales and at the same time The Strength / The Sound / The Songs re-entered the chart at #21. Recently, the album achieved gold status for sales in Denmark.
Volbeat opened the Roskilde Festival in 2007. Volbeat also supported Metallica together with Mnemic at their concert on Denmark July 13 of that year.
More recently, Volbeat was announced to do a seven-date European spring tour and to support legendary speed metal act Megadeth in Finland and in their home town, Copenhagen. They have also already announced a few festival appearances for the summer 2008.
Volbeat has a large range of influences, which can be clearly heard in their music. On their official MySpace site Volbeat lists their influences in their own recognizable way:
"Everything from Elvis Presley to Napalm Death .. hail: Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Ramones, Social Distortion, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Dio, Megadeth, Metallica, Manic Street Preachers, Iron Maiden and bla bla bla bla..."
Volbeat's lyrics usually revolve around love, failed love or the power of a twisted mind. They thereby distance themselves from stereotypical heavy metal lyrics, although many of their most popular songs have very dark or sincere themes and plots.
Their first single was the cover version of Dusty Springfield's evergreen "I Only Wanna Be With You". The song doesn't differ much from the original with regard to the lyrics, but the accompanying music video is quite typical of Volbeat. In it, the band is seen with a classic microphone on top of a city roof.
Another popular feature of the band's lyrics are the returning "series" of songs. This is best represented with the songs "Danny And Lucy" from The Strength/The Sound/The Songs followed by "Mr. & Mrs. Ness" on Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil. The story is about the two desperate lovers, Danny and Lucy, who are killed in a car crash after Lucy runs away from her family.
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ness, I'm so sorry to bring you this - We believe we found your girl in an old burning car way up the hill"
In the successor, "Mr. & Mrs. Ness", Lucy's mother commits suicide and the father is suspected for the murder:
"The old man is crying and he's lying - The blood on his hands' from his wife yeah"
Lineup
Michael Poulsen - Vocals, guitar (ex-Dominus)
Thomas Bredahl - Guitar (also in Danish punkrock band Gob Squad)
Anders Kjølholm - Bass
Jon Larsen - Drums
Former members:
Franz Gottschalk - Guitar
Teddy Vang - Guitars
