They had hooks, and those hooks were massive enough to snare any name-your-clichéd large animal, yet they occasionally missed their mark when cast out by surging guitars and rapid fire vocals. The problem, if they had one in the first place, was Volbeat had a tendency to revel in inconsistency. More complex, Volbeat is a metal band that blends the finest elements of the aforementioned dignitaries, blending rockabilly influence with soaring choruses and chuga-chuga riffs that introduce a giant b*tch slap to the majority of metalcore bands alive.

In the most simplistic terms, Volbeat are a Danish metal band. Someone once described Volbeat as the result of Metallica, Clutch, Elvis, Danzig, and Johnny Cash having a disgusting gang bang with a willing groupie. As a matter of fact, over the course of their first three albums, Volbeat wrote a blueprint for massively energetic, manly rock bursting with an almost over-the-top capacity for surging adrenaline. When it comes to the ability to rock hard, and by hard, we’re talking the kind that immediately sprouts extra chest hairs and the irrepressible urge to reach for a bottle of Jack and throw your fists to the sky, Volbeat never had a problem. Review Summary: Volbeat delivers their most consistent album to date, which is potentially the Rock Album of the Year.
