The third album from Danish heavy metal act Volbeat.
On September 1st, Danish "metal & rollers" VOLBEAT will release their third studio album, Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood on Mascot Records.
This new record is the follow up to the highly successful Rock The Rebel / Metal The Devil, which achieved platinum status in Denmark, as well as the single 'The Garden’s Tale'. Outside their home country it was album of the month in German magazines Rock Hard, Guitar and Heavy, the Dutch Aardschok and the French edition of Rock Hard. At the beginning of 2008 Rock The Rebel/Metal The Devil was voted album of the year in Metal Hammer Germany and Italy.
Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood features 14 new tracks, including a Social Distortion cover as a bonus track on all editions. Seven of the songs share a common lyrical theme which will be continued on future records, the artwork is also based on this storyline. The album was recorded in Hansen Studios of Jacob Hansen, who also produced the two previous records.
Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood will be fore-fronted by the single of 'Maybellene i Hofteholder' which will be released for download a few weeks before the release of the album.

Danish metal? You mean that there are others besides Lars Ulrich making a lot of noise? When you have living under a rock for the last two years or so you missed the rise of Volbeat, a quartet form Copenhagen who released two critically acclaimed albums and a rather good live DVD.
Their new one entitled Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood is their most ambitious album so far, with seven songs making up a loosely told tale about a singer who got shot in the desert and was left there to join the great band in the heavens. He survived and now he stares down from the stage each night hoping to spot the culprit in the audience.
Volbeat is a band that will be loved by the denimn trousers/black T-shirt youth, with their parents nodding approvement in the back of the hall. They have heard it all before; the over the top vocals, the power chords and the drummer working his ass off (he is lot better than Lars, though). Metal heads don't want change and Volbeat delivers the goods. [unknow reveiwer]
