VOLBEAT are getting closer and closer to the release of their ninth album God Of Angels Trust. This album arrives on June 6 via longtime label Republic/Universal. Pre-order it here.
The album will coincide with plenty of summer touring on the band’s “Greatest Of All Tours Worldwide.” Ahead of the release and touching down for tour, the band has shared the video for the impactful track “Time Will Heal.” The track is a supremely catchy, mid-tempo anthem that captures everything you love about Volbeat’s sound. The visual pairs performance footage with some sanguine-soaked action in a red room. And a G.O.A.T. Literally.
Overall, though, it’s an intensely personal track for the band and its frontman, Michael Poulsen.
“Through life, we go through these ups and downs, and sometimes, it’s like turning on a switch and it can change from one minute to another,” says Poulsen. “We suddenly get in a sad, emotional mood where there just doesn’t seem to be a way to see the light or good in anything. But we always find a way to make things good again. I’m good at turning those moments around quickly, but that comes with accepting the good with the bad and using the bad moments to grow and learn instead of letting them bother you more that it should and having your mind manipulate reality. The important thing is to realize that while nothing can be good forever, do not let the dark side of life take over. Have the confidence to know there will be better days ahead when we’re dealing with these moments or demons and we’re struggling to find anything good in what we’re doing.”
He pulls the curtain back even further, sharing, “I’m still struggling with the loss of my father. I would say 80 percent of the time I’m coping with the loss and doing well. But then sometimes, I’m falling into these black holes where everything is empty and nothing is fair. I’m so grateful I have kids because when they come into your life, suddenly, everything is not about you. It’s about the kids and you can’t spend too much of your energy being down because they need you. So, it’s been a blessing having kids. It’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”
