Guitar Gangsters and Cadillac Blood

Volbeat from Denmark with their long-awaited third studio album. Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood follows the highly successful records The Strength, The Sound, The Songs and Rock The Rebel, Metal The Devil (album of the year in Metal Hammer). Volbeat, founded in Copenhagen in 2001, has always played metallic rock n roll with a touch of 60s sound, rockabilly, as well as Elvis and Johnny Cash flair. This is also the case on Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood, which clearly shows one of the most important bands of the genre on its zenith. Producer Jacob Hansen, as well as on previous albums, managed to capture the enormous live power of the foursome in the studio. 12 hearty metal rock n roll bangers with the very finest, melodic hooklines plus a cover of Hank Williams classic Im So Lonely I Could Cry. As an absolute icing on the cake, track number 14 is still a cover version of the Social Distortion song Making Believe. Volbeat have a large, diversified and ever-growing fan community. From rockabillies to punks, 50s rock n rollers to metalheads, the band manages to appeal to a wide audience with their sound, which they can be sure to rely on the upcoming German tour in October.
