Volbeat will release their eighth studio album, Servant Of The Mind, via EMI Records on December 3.
For anyone curious as to what sonic delights the Danes might have in store, Michael Poulsen’s band have shared a new single from the album, Shotgun Blues. This is the third track previewing the album, following on from the June release of Wait A Minute My Girl and Dagen Før, featuring guest singer Stine Bramsen.
"I wrote the whole album in three months," says Poulsen of Servant Of The Mind. “I was in a good place and mood while at home, and had a captive audience of myself… There are a lot of Volbeat signatures in it. If you go back to the first record and compare it to where we are now, you can hear how the band has developed its style, while keeping the signature sound."
