Volbeat - Rewind, Replay, Rebound

It may be their seventh album but on this evidence the eclectic Danish metal four-piece are not prepared to go quietly

Danish band Volbeat open their seventh studio album with Last Day Under the Sun, a stadium singalong inspired by a story in Johnny Cash’s autobiography, in which the country icon lays down in a cave and decides to die. “I’ve done it all before, I feel alive again,” sings frontman Michael Poulsen, sparking the suggestion that their seventh studio LP might represent a rebirth. Instead, Rewind, Replay, Rebound plays true to its title, revisiting and refining the four-piece’s traditional blend of chugging melodic metal and high-octane rockabilly abandon.
