Volbeat’s seventh album, Rewind, Replay, Rebound finds the Danish/American hard rockers building upon the distinct, psychobilly, punk-tinged rock ‘n’ roll sound they’re 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 guitarist/vocalist Michael 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 was produced by longtime collaborator Jacob Hansen with co-production courtesy of Rob Caggiano and Michael Poulsen. Marking the first studio album with Kaspar Boye Larsen on bass, the band also enlists a myriad of guests here including the Harlem Gospel Choir, Clutch vocalist Neil Fallon, JD McPherson’s Raynier Jacob Jacildo (piano) and Doug Corocran (saxophone), and Exodus and Slayer guitarist Gary Holt.

For Rewind, Replay, Rebound, Volbeat mined their own personal histories and that of their genre: the lyrics for “Last Day Under The Sun” were inspired by a book about Johnny Cash, “When We Were Kids” finds the band ruminating on immortality and innocence we all naively experience in our youth, and “Rewind The Exit” and “Die To Live” both explore how the pursuit of perfection can be a hollow goal.
