Volbeat will be releasing their new album "Beyond Hell Above Heaven" 9/29..
Volbeat continues to put out consistent music that borders all kinds of genres. This is one release I cant wait to get my hands on. Very underrated band!!!!
I have the one called something like "The Songs, The Sound and ...."
As I remember, it was OK but was so all over the place musically that it seemed sort of incoherent. Maybe they've improved?
I will say they definitely are different.
But they are all over the place, which is part of their charm. They go from playing balls-out heavy metal to pop punk. Sometimes within the same song. It's fantastic.
How can you not love that?
Anyway, I downloaded the new album. Who knows when I find it around here. Though, surprisingly, I did just find the latest by The Coral. So we'll see. The new one has a wicked heavy tune, and then another with almost death metal vocals. It's nuts. Killer stuff, though.

I heard that the death metal track is the Napalm Death guy? After listening to that track its def Mike Greenway..

I have yet to purchase an album from these guys, but I've liked the few songs I've heard. *sigh* Someday.
_________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.
I decided to buy into these guys- I like what I see. It's funny, even though the bulk of my collection could be described as "Rock & Roll with heavy (if not metal) guitars", but I can't think of anyone that has taken quite this approach before. It seems to work though.

They definitely have a unique sound. Some of the more straightforward punky songs lose a bit of their identity, but that's somewhat expected. It's punk! But they're definitely pretty original.
