VOLBEAT Rock The Rebel/Meet The Devil Mascot Records (2007)
The band's second album and they have already built up a biog following on mainland Europe including their native Denmark. This album is a very enjoyable slab of riff based metal and vocalist Michael Poulson sounds like Elvis one minute ('Sad Man's Tongue' complete with a hillbilly intro!) and for some bizarre reason he also reminds me of Adam Ant's singing!
The guitar riffs are set to max (I defy anyone not to bang their head to 'A Moment To Forever') and fans of Metallica, Breed 77 ('Devil Or The Blue Cat's Song' could easily sit on a Breed 77 album) and System of A Down will dig these tunes and them some.
Not an instant album but certainly worth persisting with as those riffs just keep you coming back for more…
