"God Of Angels Trust" is the ninth studio album by Danish rock band Volbeat. It marks their first studio album following the departure of guitarist Rob Caggiano in June 2023. Michael Poulsen (vocals, guitar, production), Kaspar Boye Larsen (bass guitar), and Jon Larsen (drums) got help from Flemming C. Lund and Martin Pagaard Wolff on guitar and Mia Maja (background vocals). On God of Angels Trust, Volbeat intended to "abandon all songwriting rules" and break away from conventions to pursue new creative paths. As a result, the album came out "forceful" with a "powerful combination" of catchy melodies and fresh energy. First single 'By A Monster's Hand' is this week at #9. ALBUM OF THE WEEK.
Highly recommended as well are the two Joe Armon-Jones albums "All The Quiet I" and "All The Quiet II". Who is he? From his website we learn that Joe Armon-Jones is a London based producer, composer and keyboard player who creates in an uncompromising, free-flowing, experimental way, combining jazz, dub, hip-hop, funk and soul. Between his highly acclaimed solo work and his work with the Mercury Prize winning Ezra Collective, Joe Armon-Jones is at the epicentre of the London underground scene. On "All The Quiet I" are collaborations with Asheber and Goya Gumbani. On volume 2 with Hak Baker, Asheber, Greentea Peng , Wu-Lu, and Yazmin Lacey. Interesting stuff. Have a listen!
Check also the new albums of Jimmy "Duck" Holmes (Betonia Blues / Right Now), Karol G (Tropicoqueta), Mitch Laddie (Faith And Other Bad Habits), and StipsGoulding (Love And Affection). Next week we expect the new albums of Barbra Streisand (The Secret Of Life Partners Vol. 2), Bluesmasters ft. Cassie Taylor, Bruce Springsteen (Tracks II), Durand Jones & The Indications (Flowers), Lorde (Virgin), Orianthi (Some Kind Of Feeling), and....Richard Townend & The Mighty Bosscats (4000 Weeks). Enjoy the music and have a great week!
