VOLBEAT To Release Album In The USVOLBEAT will unleash their second US album, Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood, March 17th on Mascot Records USA. This album arrives on the tail end of their successful 2008 release Rock The Rebel/Metal The Devil.
The title Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood refers to a story that connects seven of the thirteen (official) songs on the album:
'Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood', 'Find That Soul', 'Maybellene I Hofteholder', 'Still Counting', 'Back To Prom', 'Light A Way' and
'A Broken Man And The Dawn'. It’s a tale about a travelling band whose leader is a man that once got shot in the desert and left for dead. During the bands tour he went on a mission to find the mysterious killer that put seven bullets in his body. While travelling from city to city the band ends up in a small town called Ten House City performing for just a handful of people in the local bar. The songs offer observations of the people in the rundown venue, made by the bandleader. This storyline will continue to be a connecting theme and developed as Volbeat writes future albums.
While the whole concept of ‘Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood’ is intriguing; it’s above all a knock out of a hard rock/metal album. “It’s one of our goals to improve every time”, explains singer and guitar player
Michael Poulsen. “That’s the main reason of our existence. Every tour had to be better than the previous one. We also want every album to be better than the one before. We wanted to improve on the song writing with Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood. I think we succeeded.”
