Sound a bit like a Metallica tribute band – which just does not make it close enough to their metal idols. Likely even one of the above average songs of the album – but it definitively cannot connect to the big songs of the Nordics. Say No More is quick and again driven by quick riffs. The chorus is adding some character to the song, which is driven by powerful guitar riffs. The vocals sound a bit like Elvis Presley after a tough night. If you would put The Devil Rages On into a genre description, it would likely be something like “dark rockabilly”. Michael Poulsen almost feels to be bored while singing this one – do you feel emotions in here? The downside of trying to be more popular: the song is not as handy as other songs on the album, it feels to lack character. I just talked about mainstream radio songs – Shotgun Blues is one of these songs (what a shocker they used the track as a single), which aim to generate airplay. Not a top track, but good enough for some headbanging after some beers.
There are songs on the album which feel a clear focus to please the mainstream radio music editors – this one is for rockers. The first three songs comes with a completely different style – The Sacred Stones is a dark track which is pointing into the heavy metal direction. Good song with a nice drive – and the 2:20 minute song is short enough that you don’t run too strongly into the thought that the song is a bit of simple. Wait A Minute Girl is undoubtedly the welcome song for the fans of this style. Volbeat has done quite some rock’n’roll and rockabilly songs in their career.
Could be a good time with the Danes this time again. Good rhythm, great guitar work and a nice performance on the vocal side as well. There has been quite some bad critics on the previous Volbeat album – the more the opener of Servant Of The Mind leads the way to have a better (or: even worse) feeling about their 2021 album. There is also a deluxe versions with five additional songs and a duration of 1:19 hours. Volbeat – Servant Of The Mind – Track by Trackįor my review, I had the thirteen track “normal” version of the album, which lasts 61 minutes. Overall, Severant Of The Mind is the band’s eighth studio album. The album was the third-most sold one in Denmark and Austria in that year. Their second last album Seal the Deal & Let’s Boogie (2016) was a chart-topper in seven countries, leading to platinum records in Denmark (5 times), Austria, Germany and Norway. Nowadays, the band is successful globally. Their third album Guitar Gansters & Cadillac Blood was the first one, which had chart placements in all major European markets, apart from the United Kingdom.
