Last week, Volbeat released their new album Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies. And in anticipation for what will likely be a big week on the charts for them, the Danish group has released an animated video for “The Hangman’s Body Count.” While it lacks a performance from the group (and only includes a few lyrics when it chooses to), the video features some pretty cool animation inspired by the album’s cover artwork. And while “Cape Of Our Hero” appeals to commercial rock fans and “Room 24” tries to win over King Diamond fans, “The Hangman’s Body Count” as a song will please longtime Volbeat fans. Check out the video for yourself above.
