So I had to seek out something different." That ï¬rst break with average was the formation of the death metal band Dominus in 1991. In school, I gathered some friends and tried to form a metal band but it seemed like I was the only guy that was 100% dedicated and serious. He had old vinyls from Black Sabbath, Dio and bands like that and early Metallica - I got really hooked into the metal scene. I remember listening to some of the old records that belonged to my sister's boyfriend. all the music from the 50's - they were playing it all of the time, and generally my family were all interested in music but no one was writing or playing - they were just listeners. My parents were playing Elvis, Johnny Cash, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Little Richard. "I think it all has something to do with the fact that since I was a child I was really interested in old rock & roll music. He would be singing metal a la Volbeat and vis a vis Michael Poulsen.Īnd if you ask Michael about his roots you may just begin to believe the legend. It's a musical rebellious hot rod chugging out heavy guitars, pounding bass and a relentless drum backbeat that grabs you in the gut and with a wink, says, "now listen to this!" How did it all start? Well legend has it that it is what could have happened if Elvis's third cousin had gotten out of juvenile detention, started hanging out with Johnny Cash and Gene Vincent and the ï¬rst thing they got their hands on was a Slayer album.

However, Volbeat's sound is more than just an amalgam, or even a fusion, it is the sonic antithesis to current trends in Metal and Rock. Propelled by this reception, Volbeat went out on their second European tour pushing even further into the pages of Metal's history. Proving that they were no flash in the pan aberration - the album stayed in the top 5 ranking for ï¬ve months. Entering the Danish music charts at number one this bottle rocket landed Volbeat on nearly every musical radar screen.

Their arrival on the Metal scene brought about a colossal explosion in Europe heralded by "Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil". Steadily increasing their fan base with their unique blend and style of music and uncompromising stage shows, Volbeat continues to marry Heavy Metal and Rockabilly, smear it with a kiss of crunchy guitars and drive away in a vintage Cadillac stuffed with Marshall plexis and ï¬lled with leaded gas. Formed in Copenhagen in 2001,and comprised of vocalist and guitarist Michael Poulsen, guitarist Thomas Bredahl, bassist Anders Kjølholm and drummer Jon Larsen, Volbeat has released four studio albums and one live DVD all chart toppers and/or certiï¬ed gold in Europe, with their seminal release "Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil" certiï¬ed Platinum. What you hear and what you see leaves you with a musical tattoo - indelible, signiï¬cant and most importantly, long lasting. A Danish wonder that has the metal world standing up, taking out their ear plugs and removing their blinders. And why shouldn't they be? When you have a band that is more than willing to break musical boundaries and the world's preconceived notions about musical styles you have a rarity-one that is anchored by a heady mix of rockabilly, early rock & roll and metal held together by a handful of pomade and nine gauge super slinky strings. And why shouldn't they be? When you have a band that is more than willing to break musical boundaries Volbeat kicks off their Wait A Minute… Let’s Tour run, their first US tour in two years, tonight (Friday, September 24th) at Atlanta’s The Tabernacle.Volbeat. Weird stuff happens when I move into a (new)house… it's very otherworldly.” He said, “Every time you move into a house, you bring dead people with you. Volbeat has also released a new single called “Shotgun Blues,” which Poulsen wrote about the the paranormal events he recently experienced after moving into a new home.

If you go back to the first record and compare it to where we are now, you can hear how the band has developed its style, while keeping the signature sound.” There are a lot of Volbeat signatures in it. I was in a good place and mood while at home, and had a captive audience of myself. The new album will be available in standard CD, deluxe 2LP vinyl and a deluxe digital edition.īandmember Michael Poulsen said, “I wrote the whole album in three months. Volbeat will release their eighth studio album, Servant Of The Mind, on December 3rd.
