Nothing is mixed yet, but it's really strong already, so my main concern is that whoever mixes the record doesn't fuck it up! Having said that, we just heard a test mix from Chris Lord-Alge - it was amazing, so he's now confirmed to mix the whole thing.' Everyone has been truly inspired by the new surroundings and the new team - so much so that I've even re-written some of the songs in the studio there were so many great ideas flying around, that it made me want to push myself even harder… and the recordings are sounding great. The result is a new sound for VOLBEAT, a new vibe, although that's not to say the songs aren't still typical of what we are known for it's still 100 percent VOLBEAT, but everything has been taken to a higher degree, and I can honestly say I've never heard the band playing so well. So I felt it was time to change some of our habits, because in the past we've tended to work in the same way, at producer Jacob Hansen's studio… So this time around, we've come to PUK studios in Denmark and Rob Caggiano has become involved, working alongside Jacob. Speaking to U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine, VOLBEAT singer and guitarist Michael Poulsen stated about Caggiano's addition to the band and the upcoming CD: 'When you get to the point in your career where you're making a number of albums, I don't really see the point in putting out the same record twice. Caggiano's other producer credits include THE DAMNED THINGS, BLEEDING THROUGH and ANTHRAX, and he was a member of ANTHRAX for two tenures - from 2001 to 2005 and again from 2007 to 2013. Caggiano served as producer on VOLBEAT's latest album, 'Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies', alongside longtime production partner Jacob Hansen, who produced and mixed the band's prior four albums. Former ANTHRAX guitarist Rob Caggiano earlier in the month joined Danish metal rock 'n' rollers VOLBEAT.
