And then we have a couple of songs that take you in the direction of 'Wait A Minute My Girl' or I'll even say a little bit more psychobilly vibe as THE CRAMPS - something like that." It brings you back to old BLACK SABBATH with Dio, early METALLICA, even old-school death metal inspirations in there. There's a lot of guitars and a lot of riffing. So there's not so many layers this time it's straight from the hip, straight from the bone. And I just think that brought some of the very, very heavy elements back in the VOLBEAT music. "And I was so inspired because I did a lot of podcast interviews about how VOLBEAT started and how our style was. Poulsen said that he brought a new song in to rehearsal every time he and his bandmates got together for their twice-weekly sessions. But this one just stands out as a pure rock and roller." It doesn't really represent the rest of the album, because, I'm telling you, the rest of the album is probably the most heavy album we've ever done in the VOLBEAT career. It's a pure rock and roll song where we were definitely inspired by Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, a little bit of Elvis Presley and RAMONES. And 'Wait A Minute My Girl' was the first single we released. We thought that people needed some positive energy, some light, some uptemp rock and roll. Regarding the musical direction of the new VOLBEAT album and how it compares to the band's recently released songs "Wait A Minute My Girl" and "Dagen Før", Michael said: "We just thought it was about time to release a single during the summer. But the record has been done for a very long time." So we thought that, 'Okay, we're ready to go.' But it's been taking some time with this COVID situation. And it only took me three months to write the material, and it only took us three and a half weeks to record it. We can just continue playing shows.' What we didn't know was that the pandemic would. Then, when the pandemic is over, let's go on tour, so we don't have to think about that - going home and recording something. I said, 'Let's just record this new album. And I was very quick about writing a new album.
We just thought that instead of just being home doing nothing, let's go into the studio and do some songs. The whole album is ready - ready to go - and will be released later this year, with tons of bonus material. We recorded a full album with a lot of extra material. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "This new record has been done and ready since December. In a new interview with 104.9 The Wolf, VOLBEAT guitarist/vocalist Michael Poulsen spoke about the writing sessions for the band's follow-up to 2019's "Rewind, Replay, Rebound" LP.
