March 30, 2014, 10 years ago
On March 27th, VOLBEAT were honoured at Germany's annual Echo Music Awards gala. They were nominated in and won the Rock/Alternative International category, beating out BLACK SABBATH, 30 SECONDS TO MARS, PLACEBO and IMAGINE DRAGONS. Video from Volbeat's appearance can be viewed below:
Volbeat recently released the music video to their song 'Lonesome Rider'. The video is written and directed by band favorite Plastickid, who also was behind '16 Dollars' and 'Cape Of Our Hero'.
The story is set somewhere in the past in a dark and somber world unraveling the long lost love story between a dead soldier and a beautiful woman. The song is a duet with Canadian singer Sarah Blackwood of WALK OFF THE EARTH, who gained success with their cover version of GOTYE's 'Somebody That I Used To Know'.
Cumulatively, Volbeat has performed for over a million fans since their current album, Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies, was released in April 2013. The band is currently preparing for a North American tour with support acts TRIVIUM and DIGITAL SUMMER; confirmed shows are as listed:
