Danish band Volbeat has shared a new music video for “Shotgun Blues” off its forthcoming eighth studio album, “Servant of the Mind” (Republic Records, Dec. 3, 2021). Watch the music video, directed by Adam Rothlein and produced by by Ghost Atomic Pictures, below.
The band recently also shared “Becoming,” the fourth song to be released from the new album. The song was preceeded by “Shotgun Blues” and the “double barrel” of summer songs released this past June: “Wait a Minute My Girl” and “Dagen Før (feat. Stine Bramsen),” the former of which became the band’s ninth number one single on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
“I wrote the whole album in three months,” vocalist/guitarist Michael Poulsen said. “I was in a good place and mood while at home, and had a captive audience of myself … There are a lot of Volbeat signatures in it. If you go back to the first record and compare it to where we are now, you can hear how the band has developed its style, while keeping the signature sound.”
