Danish rock icons Volbeat have confirmed that longtime touring guitarist Flemming C. Lund is now their permanent lead guitarist, succeeding Rob Caggiano.
“We’re very happy to announce that after this past year of touring and, of course, laying down some scorching solos on God Of Angels Trust, we’ve finally ‘put a ring on it’ and Flemming C. Lund is officially the permanent lead guitar player in Volbeat,” the band said via social media.
Lund had previously filled in for Caggiano on the band’s 2023 summer tour. He has also played in The Arcane Order, Temple of Scorn, and Asinhell, and was formerly part of Autumn Leaves.
“When I was asked by Michael Poulsen if I wanted to help them, I was honestly at first very overwhelmed by the request… But after a little time to think and talk with those closest to me, it dawned on me that it was something I could not possibly say no to,” Lund commented on joining the band in 2023.
Rob Caggiano, who played on four of Volbeat‘s albums — Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies, Seal the Deal & Let’s Boogie, Rewind, Replay, Rebound, and Servant Of The Mind — officially left the band in June 2023.
“Sometimes relationships simply run their course… We had a very special undeniable magic together as a band. It’s not something that comes around too often in this life and it’s not something to be taken lightly,” Caggiano reflected, while also expressing excitement for his future endeavors.
Volbeat‘s latest album, God Of Angels Trust, arrived in June 2025 via Vertigo/Universal, showcasing Lund‘s contributions on guitar from his touring tenure.
