Volbeat was formed in 2001 after frontman Michael Poulsen split up his former band, Dominus. Volbeat plays a fusion of heavy metal and rockabilly.
Volbeat has a large range of influences, which can be clearly heard in their music. On their official MySpace site Volbeat lists their influences in their own recognizable way:

”Everything from Elvis Presley to Napalm Death … hail: Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Ramones, Social Distortion, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Dio, Megadeth, Metallica, Manic Street Preachers, Iron Maiden and bla bla bla bla…”

A friend put me on to them over the weekend. I mean, how could anyone influenced by Johnny Cash and the Ramones be bad?

They forgot to list Godsmack in their influences...really, they must have forgotten...
 
I can see this getting radio play. Has pretty decent mainstream rock/metal appeal.
 
Fallen is a great song, I can't remember the name of their other song that has been playing lately but its great also.
 
Someone's gotta do it...This shit is awful...sorry. It's the interwebs. Please don't be offended...
 
i was meh on it.

i could listen to it, but i dont think i would actively seek it out.

and they def forgot godsmack as an influence.

What? Are you a fucking homo? How the hell could you not like them!??

I hear what you guys are saying about Godsmack, but perhaps they just had similar paths and influences, thus have similar sounds. I prefer this over Godsmack though.
 
Weak. Shitty vocals, (I know he's foreign, but I dont like yodeling in my metal) shitty lyrics, decent instrument play (mostly from the drummer.) Nothing special.
 
I'm not into it nor like it either, but i politely kep my mouth shut because no one listens to the shit i do by default, so as E would say "your opinion doesn't count"
 
I didnt think he'd cry about it. Especially after UNR8D put it out there. Guess I was wrong.
