VOLBEAT and guest vocalist KING DIAMOND are among the nominees for Best Metal Performance for the track 'Room 24' in the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, which will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on CBS this Sunday, January 26th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

The Recording Academy asked Volbeat guitarist and first-time Grammy nominee Rob Caggiano what it feels like to be nominated for a Grammy, he replied:

"Well, what can I say? It's an absolute honor for Volbeat to be nominated for a Grammy this year. The funny thing is that I was in Europe when the Grammy nominees were announced and I basically woke up really early one morning to my phone beeping out of control. I looked at my Twitter page with one eye and the first thing I saw were a bunch of messages saying, 'Congrats on the Grammy nomination, Rob!' For a minute I thought I was either dreaming or still drunk from the night before. I called my manager right away to see what was going on and then it was confirmed... Volbeat were indeed nominated for Best Metal Performance for our song 'Room 24' (Feat. King Diamond). I was literally blown away!"
