Music SIG Likes #2 :: Volbeat

Now we start the actual "Music Sigawesome Likes" proper.

This is probably the "crown jewels" of my music collection; my #1, all time favourite band which I have purchased every CD they produced. Volbeat has a unique, distinctive sound that (to my inexperienced ears) sounds like 3 parts hard rock, mixed with two parts rockabilly with a little heavy metal mixed in for flavour; think old school Metallica and Elvis with a sprinkling of Johnny Cash.

Shai Hulud

Any songs of theirs in particular you can recommend?

3706412 nobody does every point between fierce unyielding hope and pure misanthropy like they do. Probably "Let Us at Last Praise the Colonizers of Dreams" and "This Song: For the True and Passionate Lovers of Music". I would listen with lyrics tho. It's worth it.

That certainly was interesting. I agree about the lyrics. The music though was not my cuppa; to much metalcore for my taste. I am not a big fan of that sort of discordant, arrhythmic style.

Thanks all the same!

3708408 haha it's an acquired taste for sure! I actually prefer bands that can sing more, like Alesana, with metal core/hardcore

But folk is my true love.

Aren't those lyrics surprisingly beautiful for a metal core band tho? I was shocked, pleasantly so
