Danish rockers Volbeat have kept quiet for most of the latter part of 2012, but that's partly because they've been working on new music. The group reveal in a new posting that they're just about ready to share some of their fresh material and will test it out while playing dates in their home country early next year.

The band has booked a five-stop Danish trek that will take place between Feb. 19-24 next year. This will mark the band's first shows in Denmark after nearly two years of life traveling the world in support of their 'Beyond Hell / Above Heaven' album.

The dates will take place in small clubs, making the experience of being the first to hear the new material all the more special. After the February string of shows, the group will kick off a North American tour in March before heading off to Europe over the summer months to partake in the festival season.

As for the new album, there's not a confirmed title or release date as of yet, but the band is expected to have the disc in stores at some point in 2013.
