VOLBEAT - Michael Poulsen (vocals, guitar), and Jon Larsen (drums), and Kaspar Boye Larsen (bass) - are thrilled to release their ninth album God Of Angels Trust. This album is out now via longtime label Republic/Universal.

The album will coincide with plenty of summer touring on the band's "Greatest Of All Tours Worldwide".

Today, the band has shared "Demonic Depression". Watch the video on KNAC.COM HERE.

""Demonic Depression" is based on one of my really good friends and the state of mind that he was in for a couple of years," says Poulsen. "I've played it for several friends, and they've all asked, 'Did you write that about me?' Which is a little scary and just shows how many people are dealing with mental issues in certain parts of their lives and how many are constantly struggling."

He furthers, "It's about some heavy mental issues, so I guess the message is pretty universal. Depression is so all-consuming, and it affects so many people, and the best way to help someone struggling with it is to talk to them and listen what they have to say. I've had my share of mental issues throughout life, so I guess I'm part of the lyrics, too."

With God Of Angels Trust, the Danish band - which has scored 11 No. 1 songs on the Billboard Mainstream Rock airplay chart, with the latest being the new album's first single "By a Monster's Hand", marking the most ever for a band based outside North America - has thrown caution to the wind, ignored comfort zones, and paid little heed to traditional songwriting in the search for something more immediate and surprising. The end result will thrill VOLBEAT's dedicated legion of fans.

Poulsen's excitement to thwart convention is palpable throughout God Of Angels Trust, a punchy, crunchy album that's undeniably VOLBEAT, yet marches to a fresh new metallic and melodic energy.

As impressive as it is that VOLBEAT wrote and recorded an entire album in about five weeks, what's more incredible is that God Of Angels Trust sounds as fleshed out, eclectic, and fulfilling as albums that have taken 10 times longer (or more) to create. In the end, creating such a strong album so quickly was a tremendous challenge that demanded Zen-like calm, a joy for exploration, maximal creativity, and razor-sharp concentration to pull off.

VOLBEAT will return to the road on the "Greatest Of All Tours Worldwide", running throughout 2025. The tour kicks off June 7, in Vancouver, BC, with the first show of a co-headline Canadian run with THREE DAYS GRACE and special guests WAGE WAR. The tour then continues with headline treks in the U.S., with special guests HALESTORM and THE GHOST INSIDE, and Europe and the UK with special guests BUSH and WITCH FEVER.
