But I was growing up and getting pretty tired of the death metal scene and the style. So I just start playing guitar and I just like this heavy sound and so my first band just has to be brutal, you know. And when I made my first band Dominus, you know I was a teenager and the metal, death metal scene, was so interesting. Michael: I listen to different kinds of music and I have been growing up with the old Rock'N'Roll, you know the Elvis Presley, Little Richards, I don't know. Michael: Yea well I really don't know, because I listen to all kinds of music and I grew up with old Rock'N'Roll.įranz: I think it became pretty obvious on the stage when you made Volbeat, the album Volbeat. RF.net: But where do you find your inspiration from then? which bands? So they actually got our CD, but I don't got theirs. The funny thing was that I talked to the guitar player Joey and I gave him my CD with Volbeat and he said "Oh are you guys opening for us tonight?" and I said "Yeah we're actually playing", "Oh I got your CD, you are f*cking awesome, oh great!". And we were actually playing with them here in Denmark about a year ago or so. I can't sing a single line from from this band. I know Life Of Agony, great band, but I just don't have any CDs or songs. Michael: The funny thing about Life Of Agony is that I write all the songs in Volbeat and I don't have a single CD from this band called Life Of Agony. RF.net: You've been compared a lot to Life Of Agony, but which bands do you find your inspiration from? We could also uncover the story of Michael Poulsen's Elvis Tatoo and his apparent quest to cover himself with tatoos of the old Rock'N'Roll legends. We met them a day before their gig at the Roskilde Festival for a good chat about the band, their experience and their future. They recently won the Hope of the Year award at Steppeulven in Denmark and have by many been labelled as the new hope for Danish rock music. Volbeat's style can best be described as a combination of Metallic Rock'n'roll with a slight touch of the 60s melodic tunes. Volbeat was formed in Copenhagen, Denmark in October 2001 by Michael Poulsen, who previously was the lead singer of the Danish heavy metal band Dominus.
