Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies, features a guest appearance from the legendary KING DIAMOND. King Diamond and Volbeat are pleased to release the Jacob Hansen mastered version of this track, titled 'Room 24', as a free download gift to fans. Download the track in full-quality here.

'Room 24' features a massive coup for Volbeat with the guest appearance from King Diamond, the legendary front man of Danish metal pioneers MERCYFUL FATE, and one of Poulsen's musical idols.

Volbeat reveals, "I'm a huge fan of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. Having King on the record is a huge privilege. Normally, it's not something he does. He wrote his own lines, and it is half my lyrics and half his. It's a weird, scary story, and he's the perfect person for it."
