Overview

• Released on June 6, 2025, God of Angels Trust marks Volbeat’s latest evolution after more than 20 years in the metal scene.
• Frontman Michael Poulsen abandoned traditional song rules, adopting a “no rules, no structures” approach that lets riffs and solos unfold organically.
• The sprawling track “In the Barn of the Goat Giving Birth to Satan’s Spawn in a Dying World of Doom” exemplifies the album’s refusal of classic refrains.
• Select songs such as “Acid Rain,” “Time Will Heal,” and “Lonely Fields” revisit conventional songcraft to heighten emotional resonance.
• Lyrical content draws on Poulsen’s personal grief over his father in “Time Will Heal” and a close friend’s mental health struggles in “Demonic Depression.”
