VOLBEAT
Servant Of The Mind EMI
Denmark’s continent-conquering rockers add a hint of menace to their melody
Volbeat contemplate their storied career
ALTHOUGH NEVER
QUITE hitting the same heights in the UK as they have in mainland Europe – they’ve headlined major festivals for years across the Channel – Danish rockers Volbeat have become a truly beloved outfit on these shores. Widely praised for their live shows and metal-meets-rockabilly sound, they’ve grown in stature with every passing record and tour. And speaking of records, it’s time for a new one. Eighth album, Servant Of The Mind, was written in the space of three months by lead member Michael Poulson and, although clocking in at a shade over an hour, it flies by before you’ve even noticed.
