The result is a new sound for VOLBEAT, a new vibe, although that's not to say the songs aren't still typical of what we are known for it's still 100 percent VOLBEAT, but everything has been taken to a higher degree, and I can honestly say I've never heard the band playing so well. So I felt it was time to change some of our habits, because in the past we've tended to work in the same way, at producer Jacob Hansen's studio… So this time around, we've come to PUK studios in Denmark and Rob Caggiano has become involved, working alongside Jacob. Speaking to U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine, VOLBEAT singer and guitarist Michael Poulsen stated about Caggiano's addition to the band and the upcoming CD: "When you get to the point in your career where you're making a number of albums, I don't really see the point in putting out the same record twice. Caggiano's other producer credits include THE DAMNED THINGS, BLEEDING THROUGH and ANTHRAX, and he was a member of ANTHRAX for two tenures - from 2001 to 2005 and again from 2007 to 2013. Caggiano served as producer on "Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies" alongside longtime production partner Jacob Hansen, who produced and mixed the band's prior four albums. The first in a series of video reports featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the CD can be seen below.įormer ANTHRAX guitarist Rob Caggiano earlier in the month joined VOLBEAT. Danish metal rock 'n' rollers VOLBEAT will release their fifth album, "Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies", on April 9 (one day earlier internationally) via Spinefarm/ Universal Music.
