Volbeat have parted ways with guitarist Rob Caggiano (pictured above, second from the right). Formerly a member of Anthrax, the axman joined the Danish "Elvis metal" stalwarts in 2013 and played on all their albums since, from that year's Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies to 2021's Servant of the Mind.
No reason was given for the split — though it appears to be cordial based on Volbeat's social posts breaking the news — and the group revealed that their "good friend" Flemming C. Lund, of the band the Arcane Order, will be playing in Caggiano's place during Volbeat's remaining 2023 shows.
See the band's full statement below.
