[@mounirramia9880]

Volbeat is the only band to mix sadness, romance, blues, country and rock in their songs. What an underrated band for sure!

[@victoriasutton8340]

100%

[@N0sf3r4tuR1s3n]

Well they're a modern rockabilly band, so yes, rock country and blues are standard fare.

[@nova-jo1649]

With a hint of pop for sure

[@kaczok1985]

​@@N0sf3r4tuR1s3n No. No they're not. They did make a couple psychobilly/rockabilly songs and that's about it. Delta Bombers are an example of a modern rockabilly band.

[@NoireMaitre]

And they are even more sick live

[@RANDTASH]

The implementation of rockabilly into their music is ingenious.

[@aaronh248]

only Volbeat could mix old school country / blues with todays metal. With his fantastic metal voice its just perfection. Volbeat is indeed my favorite band these days. greatness Oh and that womans Voice is fucking fantastic. holy

[@amadeus9373]

I don't get it, why don't they do more songs like this one? This song is really perfect!

[@aaronh248]

+Amadej Tusek they have quite a few songs that mix old school sound with rock. Sad Mans Tongue, Doc Holliday to name a few

I think the word you're missing at the end is SHIT!

[@thomasgrauel8897]

I didn't see the last part of the comment and thought you meant volbeat was shit then I saw the rest and I totally agree I was about to burn you at the stake.

[@PaladinMika]

Yep, I'm also a bit disappointed they didn't make more of songs like this particular one.

[@reev64]

Michael Poulsen is by far the best Rock singer i have heard in the last 2 decades. His live performance is completely amazing. Only been listening to Volbeat for about 5 yrs, the more I listen the better they sound. At 56 yrs old I thought I'd heard the best vocalists yet, but Mike is superior to them all. Keep Rockin guys. Cheers, Ontario, Canada.

I love how the Reaper actually has emotion in this video. Its almost like a double win for him because he gets to do his job by taking her life, but he also gets to see the two lovers together in the afterlife. Awesome.

[@rockstarfoxy654]

The Reaper has no emotion, he only does his job, (too well). What I like is the fact that it depicts him trying to outrun Death, so that he can see his wife again

Volbeat......what more to say. They are so underrated, need to be played on the radio so much more.

[@make700inaday]

Thought this might be useful. Found this online with Michael explaining what the song is about. “This is a country-rockabilly song. When we started rehearsing it, I thought that that it needs something else - a female voice. I had ideas for the lyric where it would have been cool to have a female singer. So I emailed Sarah Blackwood, who is a great Canadian rockabilly singer. I was a fan of her old band, The Creepshow, and her current band Walk Off The Earth are great too. The lyric is about a cowboy who goes to war, and when he finally comes home, he cannot find his wife. The house is empty. What he doesn’t know is that he’s dead - he thinks he’s survived but he’s dead. And the thing is, his wife has passed while he was at war too. So she makes a deal with The Reaper to find her husband and bring him over to the other side…”

[@knucklehedd]

If that's what they were after, the visual narrative lacks a bit. Not really my issue, though. Where are the cowboys!? Thanks for posting that, BTW.

I work on Bråvalla last weekend and heard Volbeat live and i´m so happy. Because it´s was so good. I thought they were a very hard band but they play rocknroll. And they are best.Nice to find a band who is so good when you are 53 years

That Volbeat isn’t one of the top bands in the US is quite disheartening. They have impeccable musical sensibilities and have the most amazing ability to jump between, and yet bring together the music of the American south (blues, early country and bluegrass), the American Southwest(tex-mex), then blend it with hard rock and heavy metal. There’s nobody like Volbeat. They bring it like no other band i’ve heard. If they ever play Pittsburgh I’ll be there.
