history
Founding years (2001-2004)
The band was formed in October 2001 after singer and guitarist Michael Poulsen left the death metal band Dominus. Poulsen was tired of the music and the fans of the death metal scene and wanted to go new musical ways that were not possible with his old band. Poulsen began to write new songs and looked for a permanent band line-up.
The founding members were besides Poulsen Anders Kjølholm ( bass ), Teddy Vang (guitar) and Jon Larsen ( drums ). With this line-up, the band recorded their first ten-song demo , which was released a year later. Vang left the band and was replaced by Franz Gottschalk . With him, the band recorded their second demo, Beat the Meat , which was released in August 2003. The German magazines Metal Hammer and Heavy or what? named Beat the Meat “Demo of the Month”. The songs Soulweeper and Danny & Lucy were played on Swedish and French radio . By the summer of 2005, the demo had sold about a thousand times.
In 2004 Volbeat reached the semi-finals of the largest Danish music competition Live Contest . The band signed a deal with New Aeon Media, a sub-label of Karmageddon Media. The debut album Rebel Monster should be released in 2004. However, its release was delayed and Volbeat eventually signed with Rebel Monster Records, a sub-label of Mascot Records . Rebel Monster Records was named after the Volbeat song Rebel Monster . In the meantime the song Pool of Booze was used for the soundtrack of the Danish snowboard film Frost .
The Strength / The Sound / The Songs (2004-2006)
In July 2004 the band went to Ribe to record their debut album The Strength / The Sound / The Songs under the direction of producer Jacob Hansen . Five songs from the Beat the Meat demo were used for the album . There were also eight original compositions and a cover version of the Dusty Springfield hit I Only Wanna Be With You . After a concert in Copenhagen in December 2004, the band was approached by representatives of TV 2 . TV 2 wanted to use the music from Volbeat for their broadcast of the handball world championship in Tunisia , but later did not keep their promise.
The Strength / The Sound / The Songs was released in September 2005 and was rated 10 by the German music magazine Rock Hard . In Denmark, the album initially sold slowly. Only after a highly acclaimed appearance at the Roskilde Festival did the situation change and the album was sold over 5,000 times. It reached number 18 on the Danish charts. This made The Strength / The Sound / The Songs the first album by a Danish hard rock / heavy metal band in ten years to reach the top 20 of the Danish album charts. Volbeat played concerts with different bands like Candlemass , Destruction or Life of Agony .

After recording their second studio album, the band gave a twenty-minute concert in November 2006 as part of the football game between FC Copenhagen and Brøndby IF . A month later, Volbeat separated from their guitarist Franz “Hellboss” Gottschalk and had to cancel various concerts because of that. The reason given by the band was a disrespectful behavior by Gottschalk towards the band, the crew and the other bands before and after concerts. He was replaced by Thomas Bredahl from the band Gob Squad . Gottschalk later joined the band Illdisposed .

style
music
Volbeat use the genre-typical instrumentation of vocals , guitar , bass and drums for their music . Singer Michael Poulsen is almost exclusively responsible for the music. When writing songs, he makes sure that the songs are catchy and easy to sing along with. In an interview, Poulsen stated that if this catchiness is not achieved after 15 minutes, he discards the song idea. The band's sources of inspiration are social distortion , rock'n'roll legends like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash , the rock music of the sixties, but also metal bands like Metallica . In addition, the band takes inspiration from styles such as punk rock, country and blues.
“Our music is a balancing act between rock and metal. We try to get the best of both worlds under one roof. [...] When it comes to rock'n'roll, I love the rousing rhythms. If I'm running Elvis Presley, Fats Domino or Chuck Berry , I can't sit still. Rock and roll songs are simple but work great. What I love about heavy metal is the raw energy that emanates from a distorted guitar. "
On the second album, the band used non-metal instruments for the first time, such as a banjo or the Hawaiian guitar . The third album, Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood , features a guest singer and string instruments for the first time .
Texts
Singer Michael Poulsen writes all of the band's lyrics. These are largely inspired by the 1950s. Other texts are partly autobiographical or simple love stories.
Continuation stories that span several albums are typical of Volbeat. This originated with the songs Fire Song and Danny & Lucy (11pm) . The protagonists are the 28-year-old drug addict Danny and his 16-year-old girlfriend Lucy. Both flee from Lucy's parents and then die in a car accident. On the second album, the story continues with Mr & Mrs Ness , Lucy's parents. Lucy's mother committed suicide. Her husband is found and arrested with bloodied hands and a weapon in hand. The third album continues with Mary Ann's Place . Mr Ness visits the graves of his wife and daughter while on leave . The story ends with the song You Will Know on the album Seal the Deal & Let's Boogie .
reception
Outside of their homeland, Volbeat are mainly noticed in the rock and metal scene. Your albums are regularly discussed in the relevant print and online magazines. In Denmark the band is mainstream and reaches listeners outside of the rock and metal scene.
“We get an awful lot of emails from fans saying that they 're not really into Metal, but like our melodies and my singing. Or from die-hard rockabilly freaks who normally never hear anything other than 'their' bands, but get on well with us because they like the rock'n'roll elements in our sound. "
Gold and platinum records
In their home country Denmark, Volbeat have received the most awards so far. In total, the band received six platinum and five gold awards. The albums Beyond Hell / Above Heaven and Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies each received double platinum . Volbeat received two platinum and four gold awards in Germany. The most successful album here is Beyond Hell / Above Heaven , which was awarded triple gold. The band received platinum twice each in Austria and Sweden.
