In fact, as a whole this song had more solos than previous, which was a nice change instead of having every song focus on the vocalist.įrom there, it’s easy to hear the influence Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash had on the Danish band in their songs “Lonesome Rider” and “Doc Holliday.” In other songs, they prove again that they experiment with their sounds, taking a more poppy feel to their music in the songs “My Body” and “Cape Of Our Hero.” The songs are so uppity and bright that you forget that the singer, Michael Poulsen, had a background in death metal. Volbeat discography and songs: Music profile for Volbeat, formed October 2001. On August 26, 2017, VOLBEAT became the first Danish band to headline and sell out their hometown venue, Denmark’s Telia Parken, setting the record for the biggest show by a domestic artist in Denmark ever with over 48,250 people in attendance.

The first introduction song, “Let’s Shake Some Dust,” a short, strictly instrumental song, could have been longer to adequately demonstrate the talent of the other band members. They infuse rock and roll, metal, rockabilly, punk and schlager in their music to come up with a wide variety of songs. They showed, once again, that they don’t stick to one genre and are not afraid to experiment with their music.
