The song has an eerie, evil feel to it, which…it has King Diamond, it SHOULD sound eerie and evil! I’m usually not that big of a fan of a guest vocalists, but this song is a perfect blend of voices. This one features the legendary vocalist King Diamond. Room 24 is yet another really heavy song, and I’m REALLY happy about that. Those are the reasons that this was the first single.Ĭheck out the video for Cape of Our Hero below: A driving song with Michael’s signature tone, accompanied by a huge singable chorus with great guitar work. When you think of Volbeat, this song is exactly what comes to mind. If not, I’ll be sure and include it below. You’ve undoubtedly seen the video if you are reading this. Check out her review and photos here.Ĭape of Our Hero is the first single from Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies. Teresa Burke recently caught Volbeat in Chicago. For most Volbeat fans, this song will completely solidify adding Rob Caggiano to the band. I can already see the circle pits starting up for this one. If you are as surprised as I am, you’ll have a hard time believing it’s Volbeat until you hear Michael’s vocals. This is by far one of the heaviest Volbeat songs yet. The acoustic guitars underlying the chorus and that addicting lead guitar laid down by Rob Caggiano will definitely make this a fan favorite.ĭead but Rising is the next stop on our trek. The song itself is super catchy and will be one that certainly pleases any Volbeat fan. Look no further than their last release, Beyond Hell/Above Heaven. The band are no strangers when it comes to touching upon the afterlife. The song seems loosely based upon the work of James Clarence Mangan. The album gallops along, spinning the tale of The Nameless One. The track is outstanding and one of my personal favorites.

It begins with the chorus being belted out by vocalist Michael Poulson, but the harmonic guitar work is the first thing you’ll really latch onto. It’s the tale of how she needed the money to help her sick mother and the journey she embarked upon.

She was a Canadian-born outlaw who gained notoriety as a female stagecoach robber. We meet our first Shady Lady on the track Pearl Hart. Grab your hat and spurs, this is going to be a great ride! The song could easily be the opening credits theme for a spaghetti western, ala “ The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.” It’s an acoustic tune with some Spanish-style guitar work, complete with harmonica, and it really sets the scene for the journey the band is about to take you on.

Kicking off the album is Let’s Shake Some Dust. I’m here to share my thoughts on the album. Armed with great songs, an unbelievable sense of melody, a unique voice and a former Anthrax guitarist (Rob Caggiano), the band from Copenhagen is about to release unleash their fifth album, titled Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies, on April 9th. Denmark may be famous for a lot of things, but my favorite export is Volbeat.
