Volbeat has announced a spring 2013 tour of North America that will begin on March 6th in Dallas, with dates confirmed through mid-April. The news comes just a day after the group revealed that it will debut new material on a five-show swing through its home country, Denmark, in February. It is likely that fans on this side of the Atlantic will get to hear a few new songs as well. Support will come from Danko Jones.

• The band has been recording the follow-up to 2010's breakthrough album Beyond Hell/Above Heaven during the past few months, with the set expected to arrive sometime in early 2013.
• Beyond Hell/Above Heaven was Volbeat's fourth album, but first major American success. It featured the two Number One rock radio hits, "A Warrior's Call" and "Still Counting."
• Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen told us a while back that it's been very rare for a band from Denmark to make it in the States: "It seems like we're one of the few or maybe one of the only Danish rock bands who have been able to have a decent tour in America, and that's something that we're, you know, really proud of. And our listeners in Denmark are very proud of it."
