Volbeat go for an obnoxiously long title with new single “In the Barn of the Goat Giving Birth to Satan’s Spawn in a Dying World of Doom.”

Volbeat are trying to summon their late 2000s scene kid with an obnoxiously long song title with their latest single “In the Barn of the Goat Giving Birth to Satan’s Spawn in a Dying World of Doom.” This comes from the bands upcoming album “God Of Angels Trust” which drops this June.

Poulsen shares the origin story, saying, “I had so much fun writing these lyrics. It’s about the outcasts and fallen angels of God — all the angels that were cast out of Heaven. And I’m being told to collect them in this big wagon and bring them to a barn.”

He continues, “There’s a ritual going on where the fallen angels are being sacrificed to Satan’s spawn to create soldiers for a new dark kingdom. So, instead of inviting my lady out to go to the cinema, I say, ‘I have something better. You have to see what’s going on in this barn… we’ve been invited to see the birth of Satan’s spawn and watch the world go down. How about that?”

He admits,”I think some people will read the lyrics and go, ‘What’s wrong with this dude?’ But, it’s all for fun. It’s like a silly horror movie. Or is it?”
