Volbeat Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies

2013, Distilling the rebel spirits of metal, rockabilly, country & western and rock'n'roll into a gas-guzzling beast of a sound, they've drawn huge acclaim from music fans worldwide, and earned them the respect and admiration of such iconic musicians as James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich of Metallica, Lemmy and Danish metal legend King Diamond, Dave Mustaine and Scott Ian. And now Volbeat's electrifying fifth album, OUTLAW GENTLEMEN & SHADY LADIES, is about to secure them a seat at rock's top table alongside those very same legends. It finds the core trio of Michael Poulsen, Anders Kjølholm and Jon Larsen joined by former Anthrax/The Damned Things guitarist Rob Caggiano. You can hear echoes of classic 50s rock'n'roll in the soaring ,,Pearl Hart" and the live classic-in-waiting ,,Lola Montez". The band's metal roots come to the fore via the heavy riffage of ,,Dead But Rising" and ,,The Nameless One", while the ghostly ,,The Lonesome Rider" beats with a rockabilly heart.
