Volbeat - Beyond Hell /Above Heaven

Nea · 07-10-2010 2:34pm #1

Purchased this 2 weeks ago and felt it needed a mention. One of the best albums of the year imo. I have only got into Volbeat this year and feel this album is their best so far.

Evelyn feat Barney from Napalm Death is a deadly tune, Volbeat at their heaviest!

Looking forward to seeing them next month, bargain basement ticket price of €13.50 was quiet nice too.

You are the first person that I have seen mention them.

I have drawn blank looks over the last few years when I have mentioned them to mates.

Cracking live band. Saw them and Audrey Horne on the same bill some time back and it was a brilliant gig.

The new album is quite cool, and Rock the Rebel / Metal the Devil is probably the next best album from them. The other two albums are pretty decent also.

Actually Audrey Horne are a band that you might like a lot if you like Volbeat. Start with their latest album, it's self titled, and work backwards if you decide to check them out.

I also bought this but haven't had enough time to listen it. But I have all their previous cd's and after only few listening session Beyond Hell/Above Heaven sounds great. Only thing I didn't like was the rockabilly song which name I can't remember now. I have seen band live few times and I can also recommend everybody who likes artists like Danzig, Metallica, Jason & The Scorchers, go and check them.

Haven't got it or any of their albums yet, but keep on meaning to before their gig next month. Saw them at Graspop last year & one of the bands of the weekend for most of us. Great energy & got the whole audience going! Really looking forward to their gig, but must get some of their stuff so I know the songs.

I've just gotten into Volbeat recently. A friend turned me onto them. I heard the name mentioned before but never took any notice. I'm glad I finally took notice because they are a great band. 7 Shots off Beyond Hell... is bloody brilliant. The whole album is.
I gotta scrape together some funds for a ticket to the gig, hopefully it wont sell out before I do.

Just got email from ticketmaster which says "Due to unforeseen circumstances the performance of VOLBEAT on the 25-NOV-10 has been CANCELLED. Please return tickets to point of purchase for a refund."

Boooooo
Ah ****e, I am raging was really looking forward to this.:mad:

More information from Volbeat homepage: "After a strenuous sold-out tour across main land Europe and Scandinavia, Volbeat are regrettably forced to cancel their first week of scheduled UK shows. The band did personally not want to cancel this tour but unfortunately Michael Poulsen was ordered by doctors not to fly or travel until his medical condition is stabilized to their satisfaction. At this moment Michael Poulsen is currently under doctor’s supervision and a full recovery is expected within time to be able to pursue engagements from Dec 1st and onwards."

I'd hold on to the ticket if I thought it would be re-scheduled. What are the chances, do you think?

You're better off to just get your refund. It's not like as if they sold like hot cakes. That's what I'm doing anyway.

True, although it was only €15...

You got ripped off man! I paid €13.50

Gig rescheduled for Oct 22nd. Yay a Saturday night

ThunderApple · 30-06-2011 8:35pm

I've always underestimated Volbeat till I've started looking for their videos. They are really great! I hope I can see them live soon.

Nea · 18-10-2011 12:30pm

This Sat ,lads and ladies, it should be face-meltingly brilliant!

blastman · 19-10-2011 2:01pm

Black Spiders in support too, I believe, so you'll need two faces.....

Pity I can't make it, Volbeat haven't done much for me when I've seen them in the past but I do like Black Spiders.....and it's a cheap gig.....nearly sold out I believe....

Anyone know what time Black Spiders will be on?? Cheers

They are in Europe, just havent had their mark here, why not is beyond me.

It was a savage gig,sore neck,hungover and hoarse this morning,always a good sign!

Hearing slowly returning, great gig on Saturday night, including the heaviest version of I Only Want To Be With You that I've ever heard...

--LOS-- · 24-10-2011 10:39pm

aww gutted I missed this, loved them both times I saw them, just forgot about this gig unfortunately

tell me more! was it a good turn out?

blastman · 27-10-2011 10:58am

I'd say if it wasn't sold out, it was pretty close. There was a good crowd inside by the time Volbeat came on. My only gripe would be that the support set was very short, another couple of songs would have been great. I have some pics I'll try to post up later on.
