Opener 'Last Day Under the Sun' is inspired by the life and lyrics of Johnny Cash it includes welcome re-appearances from backing vocalist Mia Maja and the Harlem Gospel Choir, with a fist-pumping chorus and enormous, hooky guitars (a la early Boston). Produced by longtime collaborator Jacob Hansen, its 14 songs revolve around themes of immortality and innocence, and how the pursuit of perfection ultimately leads to emptiness. It's the band's first album to feature new bassist Kaspar Boye Larsen. Volbeat, led by songwriter, guitarist, and lead vocalist Michael Poulson, have brought in even more hooks and sophisticated melodies without losing their ability to riff and roar with the best of the metal pack, thanks in no small part to ex- Anthrax lead guitarist Rob Caggiano. Rewind, Replay, Rebound is the band's seventh album it's appreciably different from what they've done before, but not completely. Volbeat possess the chops, imagination, and swagger to carry it off in front of 50,000 European fans.

So, we thought, why not use that pedal on that riff? So, we did and it just ended up just sounding even more like Entombed, and it turned out to be a really good song and it was probably one of the heaviest riffs in Volbeat.For Denmark's Volbeat, the truly classic rock era existed from 1953 to about 1986: from Chuck Berry and Elvis to the heyday of punk rock and thrash metal, with periods in between where rockabilly, surf, glam, and hard rock flourished. “It's the signature death metal Swedish distorted guitar sound, and it sounds disgustingly good.

And it has that opening riff that's really inspired by the mighty Entombed, and you know, we just talked about why not put that Boss Heavy Metal HM-2W pedal on that Entombed was so well known for, and bands like Dismember and a lot of Swedish death metal bands, actually. Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen said: 'We were recording Servant Of The Mind in Jacob Hansen's studio, and we were about to record the song “Becoming”. The track is a 'tribute' to the legendary Swedish death metal band Entombed, whose lead singer Lars-Göran 'LG' Petrov died in March 2021 after a battle with bile duct cancer. Danish/American rock and rollers Volbeat have released the official music video for their song 'Becoming'.
