Today multi-platinum Danish rock band VOLBEAT debut the music video for their new song “Last Day Under The Sun”, from their upcoming album Rewind, Replay, Rebound. The video was directed by Jakob Printzlau, who has previously directed VOLBEAT’s videos for “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown”, “Lonesome Rider”, “16 Dollars” and “Cape Of Our Hero”. Michael Poulsen, guitarist and lead singer for the band, reveals that the lyrics for the song were inspired by a book about Johnny Cash: “When I read his book, he went through tough times with alcohol and drugs… He walked into a cave to lay down to die. But he wakes up and feels like he has been given a second chance.” Watch the video for “Last Day Under The Sun” on KNAC.COM HERE.

VOLBEAT will release their seventh album Rewind, Replay, Rebound, on August 2nd via Republic Records. For the album, VOLBEAT build upon the distinct, psychobilly, punk-tinged rock ‘n’ roll sound they are known for, while reaching for new creative summits. “The whole point for us going into the studio, is because you still have something to prove — not just for the fans, but mostly for yourself,” says Poulsen. “We would not be able to do this record if it wasn’t for the work we have done in the past. No matter how old the band gets or how many records we do, there is always going to be that signature sound.” Rewind, Replay, Rebound is available for pre-order on all formats here, including a 2 CD deluxe edition, a special deluxe edition box set, and transparent and blue colored vinyl, numbered and limited to 1,000 copies each.

At this point in their already storied career, VOLBEAT have opened for METALLICA, MOTORHEAD and SLIPKNOT, garnered a 2014 Best Metal Performance Grammy nomination for “Room 24” and won multiple Danish Music Awards. For this album, they mine their own personal histories and that of their genre. The song “When We Were Kids” finds VOLBEAT ruminating on immortality and innocence we all naively experience in our youth, while “Rewind the Exit” and “Die to Live” both explore how the pursuit of perfection can be a hollow goal.

The band has also announced the first leg of the Rewind, Replay, Rebound World Tour, with support from BARONESS & DANKO JONES. This tour will find the band performing in cities including London, Madrid, Berlin, Hamburg and Stockholm and tickets for all dates are on sale now.

The band has previously announced that they will join SLIPKNOT on their extensive Knotfest Roadshow North American Tour as special guests alongside GOJIRA and BEHEMOTH. The 29-date tour will kick off July 26th in Mountain View, CA with additional stops in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and Austin. Tickets for these dates are on sale now.
