VOLBEAT (New Album)

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.

Who jacked up the column widths on the forum? Your avatar is enormous! Haha.

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.
