Volbeat Leads Mainstream Rock
Volbeat’s “By A Monster’s Hand” is at the top of Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart (dated May 17th). It’s the band’s eleventh song to reach #1 on the chart but first since “Shotgun Blues” in late ’21.
“By A Monster’s Hand” is the lead single from “Gods Of Angels Trust,” Volbeat’s ninth studio album, due June 6th.
“In the past, I’ve taken a long time to write and obsessed over so many elements of the songs before finishing them,” said Volbeat guitarist/vocalist Michael Poulsen. “This time, I wanted to make a Volbeat record without thinking too much about it.”
Volbeat first led Mainstream Rock Airplay in ’12 with “Still Counting.”
