Was the story from this song a big reflection on the album title when you chose it? Me: When you previously explained the album title to me and you spoke about the album title being a way to tell people that you don’t believe in neither heaven nor hell. So the song is very much about a guy who is struggling with his demons and has angels on his shoulders. He doesn’t need any direction to where he is going. Since he did not believe in heaven nor hell, because he has seen the devil become an angel and otherwise, he doesn’t really need any of them because he had found peace within himself. ‘Heaven Nor Hell’ is a rock song that tells a story about a guy who one day sold his soul to the devil but he actually ended up stealing it back and therefore was in debt to the devil. ‘The Mirror And The Ripper’ is one of the songs that continues the story from ‘Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood’ were you hear more about the guitar gangster, how he was found and his destiny. Recently I had the chance to speak to Michael on the phone to find out more about the songs that feature on their latest album ‘Beyond Hell/Above Heaven’, how he managed with the loss of his father while creating the album, his influences, their style, possible solo album and their upcoming headline tour of the UK. During my email interview, Michael spoke about the sound of ‘ Beyond Hell/Above Heaven’, the meaning behind the album title, guest musicians and also their first ever headlining tour here in the UK. Steadily increasing their fan base with their unique blend and style of music and uncompromising stage shows, Volbeat continues to marry heavy metal and rockabilly together to create their own unique sound and legacy.īack in July I had the opportunity to put some questions to the band which Michael Poulsen took some time to answer (read the interview here). To date Volbeat have released four studio albums and one live DVD with all topping the charts and/or certified gold in Europe, with their seminal release ‘Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil’ certi?ed Platinum.

Formed in Copenhagen in 2001, Volbeat are comprised of vocalist and guitarist Michael Poulsen, guitarist Thomas Bredahl, bassist Anders Kjølholm and drummer Jon Larsen.
