Volbeat Coming to Taco Bell Arena, 9/7

GRAMMY Award-nominated, gold-certified Danish hard rock outfit VOLBEAT unleashed their anxiously awaited sixth full-length album, Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie [Republic Records], this past Friday in stores and at all digital retailers. It's available for purchase here. Upon release, the record stormed up the charts hitting #1 in over 15 countries, #1 on the U.S. Rock Albums Chart, and U.S. Metal Albums Chart.

Press has been eagerly hyping the arrival of Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie. Billboard claimed, "Fifteen years into their career, the guys of VOLBEAT continue to learn and evolve," while Blabbermouth wrote "The Devil's Bleeding Crown (is) an anthemic refrain meant to be chanted at festivals worldwide. It's classic Volbeat through and through." The music video for , "The Devil's Bleeding Crown," is quickly nearing 1 million YouTube/VEVO views, currently sits at #1 on the iTunes Metal Singles Chart and has remained atop the Active Rock charts for 5 straight weeks!

In addition, VOLBEAT just announced a massive North American tour kicking off at Rise Above Festival in Bangor, ME and including appearing with Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold at the first ever rock show in the brand new U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN as well as appearances at Heavy MTL in Montreal, High Elevation Fest in Denver, CO and Rock Allegiance Festival in Philadelphia, PA.

Special guests Killswitch Engage and Black Wizard will be supporting the band throughout the tour. Additionally, the tickets for the Volbeat headline dates will include a copy of Seal The Deal & Let's Boogie in your choice of digital download or CD (plus postage). If you've already purchased the album, you'll also have the option of gifting your free copy. Pre-sales begin tomorrow at 10AM local time at volbeat.dk. See the full itinerary 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.

VOLBEAT emerged from Copenhagen in 2000. Since then, they've tirelessly clawed their way to hard rock's upper echelon with endless touring and a string of five beloved full-length albums. Recently, their 2010 album Beyond Hell/Above Heaven received RIAA Gold Certification which features hit single "A Warrior's Call" and "Heaven Nor Hell." 2013's Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies bowed at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 upon release marking the highest U.S. chart entry for a Danish Act since 1997. It also spawned the GRAMMY Award-nominated "Room 24" [featuring King Diamond] and was certified Gold in Canada. They've been invited to support Metallica on the road worldwide in addition to show-stopping main stage turns at festivals such as Coachella, Download, Rock on the Range, KNOTFEST, and more.
