Seal the Deal & Let’s Boogie by Volbeat

Seal the Deal & Let's Boogie, Volbeat's sixth studio album, rolled out on Vertigo on 3 June 2016 with Jacob Hansen producing, and the title sums up the Copenhagen band's whole trick: rock and roll swagger bolted onto heavy metal horsepower. It was their first album since Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies three years earlier, and the first without bassist Anders Kjølholm, who had left the previous November.

Michael Poulsen is still the ringmaster, singing and playing guitar, with Jon Larsen on drums, Rob Caggiano on guitar and Kaspar Boye-Larsen now on bass. The riffs chug like a hot rod idling outside a drive-in, the choruses are built for a beer-hall singalong, and the whole thing moves with a greaser's strut. The title track, "Seal the Deal", is the one that made the rock countdowns.
