The former adds piano rhythms with a saxophone solo thrown in and yields many layers of music. Don’t get me wrong, Michael Poulson has always shown clear love for that, but songs like “Die To Love” and “Awakening Of Bonnie Parker” bring this to a new light. The first one is how much deeper into the rock ‘n roll roots they go. This one doesn’t lose that, but there are a few big shifts that one can find immediately. Here in 2019, we’ve received their seventh offering titled Rewind, Replay, Rebound, and I’ll be damned if it doesn’t sound very different.ĭespite fitting in with the modern-day rockers, Volbeat have always had a distinctive and original sound that can be picked out of the crowd easily. Since the 2005 outing, this Danish metal band evolved towards the hard rock sound, with each album implementing slightly more melody and radio-friendly vibes. What started as a death metal band named Dominus molded into a more groove-oriented project, which translated heavily over to Volbeat’s first record The Strength / The Sound / The Songs.
If you go back to the first record and to where we are now, you can hear how the band has developed its style, while keeping the signature sound.Volbeat are a band with a long backstory and have a massive mix of opinions throughout the heavy metal community. "There are a lot of Volbeat signatures in it. "I don't think it would have sounded like this if not for the pandemic," he says. There are nods to the band's past on Servant of the Mind, as Poulsen acknowledges. Metallica breeze by, while more moderately paced tracks such as "The Sacred Stones" pack more of a punch. "I was in a good place and mood while at home, and had a captive audience of myself." "I wrote the whole album in three months," Poulsen says. Volbeat albums tend to be released every three years or so, but Servant of the Mind went faster.
Several Volbeat songs have topped the Mainstream Rock chart, including "Wait A Minute My Girl" from this record, which became their ninth number-one single. It does however feature another batch of potential hit singles, adding to the plethora they've had over the past decade or so. Their eighth studio album Servant of the Mind doesn't feature any guests from harder genres.
