“Weird stuff happens when I move into a house… it’s very otherworldly.” Watch the lyric video below. “Every time you move into a house, you bring dead people with you,” he explained. When the album was first announced in September, the band released the “Shotgun Blues” single, an anthemic track in which Poulsen explores the ghostly events he recently experienced upon moving into a new home. 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.” Mainstream Rock chart.“I wrote the whole album in three months,” recalled Poulsen, “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. And the hit parade continued full steam ahead with 2019’s Rewind, Replay, Rebound, as its revved-up, Misfits-esque standout, “Die to Live,” gave the group their eighth No. airwaves, by which point Poulson’s formative demonic bellow had smoothed into a radiant, radio-ready voice perfectly suited to open-sunroof anthems like “Fallen.” Volbeat have continued to hone their finely tuned formula of hooks and heft to even greater stateside success, with 2016’s Seal the Deal & Let’s Boogie cracking the Billboard Top 5 thanks to the punchy power pop of “Black Rose” (a duet with kindred Canadian rocker Danko Jones).
