The death of Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul this weekend inspired some of his famous friends to dedicate songs to him from stages all across the world last night.
It's on! Five Finger Death Punch and Volbeat are known for bringing great live shows to their fans, and the two bands have just announced a co-headlining a North American fall tour (see dates below). But that's not all! The trek will also feature support from Hellyeah and red-hot upstarts Nothing More, making it sure to be one of the top tours of 2014. Now, we may not have any Texas dates on the t
Volbeat is a band we get a lot of calls for here at the station, so we're pretty stoked to hear about a new video from the band. In this new video, they're taking the idea of 'Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies' to a new extreme, with the ultimate shady character appearing in their new video for 'Lonesome Rider.'

Volbeat are making the most of their recent momentum in the U.S. and they plan to keep the ball rolling by extending their North American run to include a whole new slew of May performances.
It was a big week to head online or to the record store if you were a hard rock fan, and Volbeat, Stone Sour and Device all saw positive results for their new records.
Volbeat's 'Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies' album arrives next week, but the band has an early treat for their fans. They've made 'Room 24,' their collaboration with famous Mercyful Fate leader King Diamond, available to their fans as a free download.

At first, Caggiano chalked up his departure as wanting to focus primarily as an in-studio producer, specifically with Volbeat, but exactly one month after leaving Anthrax, Caggiano joined Volbeat as a full-time guitarist.
