The band name "Volbeat" was derived from Dominus's third album name, Vol.Beat (read as: Volume Beat).
In 2001, Poulsen went on to form a new band with some friends and other former Dominus members. In 2000, Poulsen became fed up with the death metal music scene, causing Dominus to break up. Singer Michael Poulsen's first band was death metal act, Dominus. Michael Poulsen, singer, guitarist and main songwriter of Volbeat Their eighth album, Servant of the Mind, was released on 3 December 2021.
Volbeat's seventh album, Rewind, Replay, Rebound, was released on 2 August 2019. Their second album Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil received platinum status, and their 2010 release Beyond Hell/Above Heaven was subject to widespread international critical acclaim, receiving double platinum in Denmark, platinum in Finland and Germany, and gold in the United States, Sweden and Austria. All of their studio albums have been certified gold in Denmark. The band is signed to Dutch label Mascot Records and has released seven studio albums and one DVD. Their current line-up consists of vocalist and guitarist Michael Poulsen, guitarist Rob Caggiano, drummer Jon Larsen and bassist Kaspar Boye Larsen. They play a fusion of rock and roll, heavy metal and rockabilly.
Mainstream Rock chart.Volbeat are a Danish rock band formed in Copenhagen in 2001. And the hit parade continued full steam ahead with 2019’s Rewind, Replay, Rebound, as its revved-up, Misfits-esque standout, “Die to Live,” gave the group their eighth No. airwaves, by which point Poulson’s formative demonic bellow had smoothed into a radiant, radio-ready voice perfectly suited to open-sunroof anthems like “Fallen.” Volbeat have continued to hone their finely tuned formula of hooks and heft to even greater stateside success, with 2016’s Seal the Deal & Let’s Boogie cracking the Billboard Top 5 thanks to the punchy power pop of “Black Rose” (a duet with kindred Canadian rocker Danko Jones). With Volbeat, however, he pursued a bold new sound that fused his love of double-kick-drummed thrash with the outlaw spirit of early rock ‘n’ roll-and, let’s face it, few artists with his black-hooded pedigree would dare introduce their new band with a riff-ravaged cover of the Dusty Springfield standard “I Only Wanna Be With You.” As Volbeat became a chart-topping force in Denmark, an invite from Metallica to open their 2009 North America tour helped push the group’s fourth album, Beyond Hell/Above Heaven, onto U.S. Strength was never going to be a problem for this band: Singer/guitarist Michael Poulson cut his fangs in the death-metal outfit Dominus. Copenhagen hard-rock quartet Volbeat debuted in 2005 with the rather cockily titled album The Strength / The Sound / The Songs, but their track record has proven they can back up that claim on all three counts.
