Michael Poulsen (vocals, guitar), and Jon Larsen (drums), and Kaspar Boye Larsen (bass) — recently announced their ninth album God Of Angels Trust. This album arrives on June 6 via longtime label Vertigo/Universal. Pre-orders are available now.
The album will coincide with plenty of summer touring on the band’s “Greatest Of All Tours Worldwide,” with further dates and details below.
Today, the band has shared the video for the wonderfully-named, new single “In the Barn of the Goat Giving Birth to Satan’s Spawn in a Dying World of Doom.” You can see the video by scrolling down, or stream it here.
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.
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?
Horror movie or not — it rips!
