Seal

Seal the Deal & Let's Boogie may be the album that finally makes Volbeat rock & roll superstars in the U.S – they are everywhere else. That said, the follow-up to 2013's brilliant Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies may seem, at least for longtime fans, a surprising choice for a breakthrough. Ex-Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano joined the band after producing and playing on the 2013 date, and he cements his position here. He co-produced this with vocalist Michael Poulson and Jacob Hansen. His original riffs and mad shredding have made the band's sound – already unique – iconic. While the record's title – as wonderfully strange and catchy as its predecessors – signifies a hard-partying set, there is something else afoot here.
