I’ve known Jacob for many years, even before I was in Volbeat.' There are a lot of good producers out there but you also have to be able to work with them and be on the level where the producer understands the band and the band understands the producer. It’s just like going out and finding the girlfriend or your best friend. 'First of all, he’s a sweetheart, but most importantly he’s a good producer. You worked with Jacob Hansen once again, what is it about him that keeps you coming back?

But I still like to come up with stuff that we haven’t done before while at the same time keeping our signature sound.' 'I don’t want the record to move away from anything, because that’s not how I think. How did you want this album to move on from what you did on Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie? 'I think a little bit before we went on the Metallica tour in 2017.' When did you start work on the songs for the new album? With the album now on shelves, we spoke to Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen about how they put it all together. Recorded with long-time collaborator Jacob Hansen, the album marks the debut of new bassist Kaspar Boye Larsen as well as featuring guest spots from Slayer guitarist Gary Holt and Clutch frontman Neil Fallon. They return this week with Rewind, Replay, Rebound, their seventh studio album and the follow-up to 2016's wonderfully named Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie. It's seen them move from eccentric oddballs and into a group who shift records in the hundreds of thousands and fill arenas all over the world. And, of course, keep me in between.'Reading the lyrics made me rewind and go back to my own childhood' - Volbeat's Michael Poulsen talks new album Rewind, Replay, Reboundĭanish metal types Volbeat have carved out a niche all of their own, with their mix of rock and roll, heavy metal and rockabilly. “Rewind, Replay, Rebound” is another really good album for the road that will continue to make their fans shout and their haters hate. I’m still not a great fan of Michael Poulsens voice, but apart from that I don’t have that much to criticize about this album. You’ve already written that song boys, come on! “Pelvis On Fire”, for instance, feels way too much a rewrite of “Sad Mans Tongue”. When it comes to the rock ‘n’ roll songs, they work absolutely fine, but doesn’t stand out as much. A great summer feeling, with a large portion of 90’s nostalgia! On top of that we get an emotional moment such as “When We Were Kids”, which marks another nostalgic highlight. Opening track “Last Day Under the Sun” is a great tune that sets the tone perfectly.

I like that side of the band, and the best songs on this album are the more emotional and melodic songs. Overall, this feels like one of the bands more melodic releases. There might not be as many hit tracks on this one as the bands best album “Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil” (2007), but it has its own unique sound and touch. Unlike many other bands of their generation, Volbeat has continued to develop their sound a lot since their breakthrough, and this album provides good songs and a great sound combined really quite beautifully. Although with their last album “Seal the Deal & Let’s Boogie” (2016) in mind, I very much lean towards the feeling that I will be satisfied!Īnd sure enough, “Rewind, Replay, Rebound” is a really good album.

And being someone who appriciate Volbeat without absolutely embracing them, I kind of feel I can listen to this album and be ready for anything. And since there for some reason are a lot of people in both of these categories but not too many in between, I can only give you what I think. When a new Volbeat album comes out you are quite sure that the fans are gonna praise and the haters are gonna hate.
