Volbeat are gearing up for the release of their sixth full-length album, Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie, out via Republic Records on June 3rd. Guitarist Rob Caggiano, formerly of Anthrax, recently spoke with HardDrive Radio about the album. Check out the interview below.

The Grammy Award-nominated, gold-certified Danish hard rock outfit uncorks the first single “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown” and announces the pre-order for the album today. Fans who pre-order the album will receive an instant download of the first single. Pre-order the album here and check out the single’s lyric video below.

“The Devil’s Bleeding Crown” pairs a galloping guitar riff with propulsive thrashed-out grooves. The band performed it only once in entirety last summer in Odense, Denmark and had fans waiting for more. The track quickly builds into an anthemic refrain meant to be chanted at festivals worldwide. It’s classic Volbeat through and through.

Earlier this month the band teased album details to their dedicated fans by creating an online treasure hunt. Clues for the album title were left in streaming playlists, listed on their social media channels, and in the Rebels & Angels community forum. Once fans uncovered the words from the album title, they entered those words on the Volbeat website to reveal the characters from the album cover art which also unlocked the album pre-order. They also unveiled a video teaser for the album. Check out the teaser below:

Produced by longtime collaborator Jacob Hansen and co-produced by frontman Michael Poulsen and lead guitarist Rob Caggiano, the record includes a total of 13 new tracks, reflecting their signature hybrid of rock prowess, metal power, blues soul, and rockabilly swing. The full tracklisting is included below.

On the new album lead singer Michael Poulsen says: “After months writing and recording, we’re thrilled to finally be able to unleash Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie into the world. Play it loud!”

In anticipation of the album the band has created a special one night only “Evening With Volbeat” headline show at the Roxy in Los Angeles, CA on April 13th. It will be a once in a lifetime chance to see the band in an intimate setting. Next up, they make their Coachella debut (April 15th & 22nd) and hit the road for a short West Coast jaunt with support from Black Stone Cherry and Monster Truck. See the itinerary below. More tour plans will be announced soon.

In addition, Volbeat is happy to announce that longtime friend Kaspar Boye Larsen will be assisting as bass player for these upcoming US shows. He actually stepped in before to help the band out on bass during their very first European tour in 2006. Recognizable to the fan family, he’s supported Volbeat as an opening act in previous bands such as The Hitchcocks and The Kandidate.
