Volbeat is a heavy metal band from Copenhagen, Denmark, founded in 2001. Their first album, The Strength/The Sound/The Songs, was released in 2005 and the follow up, Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil, was released in Denmark on February 19, 2007, and in the rest of Europe on February 26, 2007. In March 2007, it topped the Danish album chart as the best selling album, the first metal album ever to do so.

Volbeat was formed in 2001 after fron-tman Michael Poulsen split up his former band, Dominus. Volbeat plays a fusion of heavy metal and rockabilly. They are inspired by the rock n’ roll legends Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, as well as modern hard rock, groove metal, alternative rock and hardcore groups.

Their current line-up consists of vocalist and guitarist Michael Poulsen, bassist Anders Kjølholm, guitarist Rob Caggiano, and drummer Jon Larsen. The band is signed to Vertigo Records and has released four studio albums and one DVD. All of their studio albums have been certified certified gold or higher in Denmark. Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil received platinum status, while Guitar Gangsters and Cadillac Blood and its 2010 follow-up Beyond Hell/Above Heaven were subject to widespread international critical acclaim, with the latter receiving double platinum in Denmark, platinum in Finland and Germany, and gold in Sweden and Austria. Volbeat's fifth album entitled "Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies" is due to be released worldwide on April 9, 2013. « hide
