Volbeat

Talk about one hell of a tour! The "Monster Energy Rock Allegiance Tour" takes over this year, and dates are still being announced. Volbeat, Him, All That Remains, and Airbourne are teaming up and hitting the road.

This just makes me mad.  No one will take responsibility for anything anymore.  It's unfortunate but some people make STUPID decisions and that's the end of the story.  The families enter into a weepy eyed agreement with a shady lawyer in an attempt for a quick money grab.  I was kind of letting this topic face away out of respect for the family, but I no longer have any respect for the family.  M

The Denmark-born band has released a new, animated video for the latest tune off their fifth studio album "Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies" and you can see it when you click through.

All three bands released new albums yesterday, and according to the website Hits Daily Double, all three albums have the exact same expectation regarding sales in the United States.

Call it coincidence or poor planning, but ALL the good stuff hits record stores today.  Today, you can get the new Stone Sour, Volbeat, Device (David Draimans Band) and Drowning Pool.  Holy snikeys that's a lot of music to put in your face!  More after the jump.

Over the past 2 albums, Volbeat have had some very cool collaborations. "Evelyn" featuring Barney from Napalm Death, "7 Shots" featuring Mille Petrozza Of Kreator and Michael Denner of Mercyful Fate/King Diamond. Well Volbeat have finally teamed up with King Diamond and they offer a free download of "Room 24" which you can get here.

After thirteen years of paying dues, Volbeat is beginning to reap the benefits that comes with staying true to what you believe in.

Hours before the gates opened, a small band of FMX winners gathered at the Lone Star Amphitheater in Lubbock, Texas. (3-11-13) After a quick stop at the merchandise booth to buy signable items, the small band of Volbeat fans soon found themselves on their way back stage to meet the band. No one was disappointed. These are some of the photos from the event. (Photos follow the jump.)

We've got listener shots from Volbeat! Yep, camera phones don't take the best shots, especially in a darkened concert hall, but it's fun to see the moments that listeners wanted to capture. And congrats to Bobby Franco, his name was drawn at random for an Xfest ticket...

One of the biggest concerts to come to Lubbock, and I was held up with the flu. But as I promised Volbeat would be one of the best shows of the year.

One short night after an epic Lubbock concert, the video has dropped for the new Volbeat song.  The track is "Cape Of Our Hero".  It another very inspiring clip from a a great band.  Check it out after the jump.

The next Volbeat album won't be out until April 9, 2013, but you can check out some news of the latest offering "Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies" right here, right now.
