Volbeat’s latest album, “Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies”, features a guest appearance from the legendary King Diamond.
Today, King Diamond and Volbeat are pleased to release the Jacob Hansen mastered version of this track, titled “Room 24″, as a FREE download gift to the fans.
The track “Room 24″ features a massive coup for Volbeat with the guest appearance from King Diamond, the legendary front man of Danish metal pioneers Mercyful Fate, and one of Poulsen’s musical idols. Volbeat reveals, “I’m a huge fan of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond. Having King on the record is a huge privilege. Normally, it’s not something he does. He wrote his own lines, and it is half my lyrics and half his. It’s a weird, scary story, and he’s the perfect person for it.”

Quoteth the warty one, Oderus Urungus, lead singer of GWAR:
“The Fate or Chaos” show is the most spectacular show we have done since the one we did before this one, and that one was awesome, even though I can’t remember what it was. Now GWAR’s struggle against your angry God is to be broadcast live by AXS TV and preserved for all eternity, an undying testimony to the undimmed majesty of the world’s most outrageous rock and roll band…the mighty GWAR!
Malevolence recently teamed up with Idioteq.com to talk about the upcoming release of their 3rd album Antithetical and you can check out the exclusive interview here.
Karol Kaminski, editor of Idioteq.com had this to say about the recent cooperation:
“I’m extremely proud to present my collaboration with Portugal’s legendary extreme metal band Malevolence! The new emotionally driven chapter of Malevolence brings back a double dose of metal massiveness. The new charge is overwhelming, yet astonishing with its progressiveness! This is highly recommended metal for all the extreme worshippers out there!”

Anthrax (hardest ever) / Exodus (their twitter should be eggs@us) / Municipal Waste (one of Scott’s favs) / High On Fire (brutal) / Holy Grail (killer) – pretty much the THRASHIN’EST TOUR OF ALL TIME! See you in the pit! ~Anthrax
