Ghost, Volbeat commemorate co-headlining tour with limited edition vinyl single

Seven inch will only be available at tour stops

Ghost and Volbeat are commemorating their monumental joint headlining tour to release a limited edition double A-side 7-inch vinyl featuring each of the band’s contributions to The Metallica Blacklist via Blackened Recordings. Ghost’s cover of “Enter Sandman” on Side G and Volbeat’s “Don’t Tread On Me” on Side V will be pressed on crystal clear vinyl and limited to only 3,000 units with 115 copies available at each tour stop on a first come, first served basis. There will be a limit of one per customer.

All proceeds from the split 7-inch will be split evenly between The All Within My Hands Foundation and the charities of the artists’ choice: Camp Aranu’tiq (Ghost) and Børne Cancer Fonden (Volbeat).

The two bands will kick off their co-headlining 26-date US arena tour on January 25th, with support from Los Angeles’ Twin Temple. Tickets and limited VIP packages are available now via Ticketmaster.

Ghost recently tallied its fourth consecutive No. 1 at active rock radio with “Hunter’s Moon.” The track’s origins and its appearance in the box office phenomenon Halloween Kills can be traced back to the band’s 2018 headlining show at the Forum in Los Angeles. On January 21st, the song will be released as a collectible 7-inch single by Loma Vista Recordings, featuring the exclusive B-side “Halloween Kills (Main Title),” performed, produced and engineered by John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies.

Volbeat’s newest album, Servant of the Mind, was released on December 3rd via Republic Records. For the album, the band took their signature heavy metal, psychobilly and punk ‘n’ roll sound up a notch while showcasing frontman Michael Poulsen’s keen ability for songwriting and storytelling. Upon release the album hit the top of many international sales charts, reaching No. 1 in Germany, Denmark, and Austria, No. 2 in Switzerland, No. 4 in Finland, No. 5 in the Netherlands, No. 6 in Sweden and was No. 1 and No. 2 respectively on the Billboard Current Hard Rock Music Albums chart and Current Rock Albums chart. The new album, which features the No. 1 Billboard Modern Rock singles, “Shotgun Blues” and “Wait A Minute My Girl,” is now available in standard CD, deluxe 2 LP vinyl in various limited-edition variants, and a deluxe digital edition.
