Volbeat from our neighboring country Denmark have laid a brilliant and successful career in recent years.

Within five years, is now now as the fourth CD.

Someone has the band once bezeichet as a mixture of Johhny Cash and Metallica, some refer to it as "Elvis metallers", at least they have built of country and Rockabillyelementen and typical Metallica sound something completely new and different - all associated with fat production.

With ballads is on the new CD-existent, it is geballert from full pipes.
The only criticism that could attach, is a little too much uniformity and the desire for a little new, something variation and advancement.
Nevertheless, the criticism in a very, very high level, the sympathetic band around Michael Poulsen has built with her new sound and their live presence rightly a large fan base.

With "The Mirror And The Ripper" the accelerator pedal is fully depressed at the very beginning, "Heaven Nor Hell" begins with Pries Chen "Living After Midnight" -Drums, later followed harmonica use, "Who They Are" begins with a typical, cumbersome Metallica -Einstieg before also Metallica moderately losbraten the guitars and reminds partly Poulsen's voice of James Hetfield - would not your typical Volbeat chorus, so this could also pass as Metallica number.

"Fallen" starts loose-tuffig, equipped with a great chorus.
"A Better Believer", again a bit faster, "7 Shots" starts brilliantly in country style with banjo before it starts to crack and appears Mille Petrozza of Kreator on vocals.

"A New Day" - strong rhythmic easier start, which is always resumed - class.

"16 dollars" - uptempo number Rockabillystyle.

"A Warrior's Call" - written for the Danish boxer Mikkel Kessler.

With "Magic Zone" followed by a feel-good song before neatly discharges steam with "Evelyn" Napalm Death Grunts Barney Greenway. Not really my thing.

"Being 1" - again in the rockabilly style, the closing "Thanks" is a nice and honest tribute to the fans.

Conclusion: Volbeat fans - and that are becoming more and more - can blind you!
