I dunno if you heard but they retired a while back. Plus they're not Danish. IIRC Denmark's biggest claim to metal fame is Lars Ulrich. 😁 Also to be fair to Volbeat they do incorporate metal riffs in some of their songs...just listen to the track Still Counting. The fact they vary their sound from guitar pop to thrash is one of the things I like about them. Link to post Share on other sites

If you want REAL Danish metal - We have legendary bands such as Mercyful Fate (King Diamond), Artillery, Invocator and Hatesphere! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Ah yes - Mercyful Fate...how did I forget about them? King Diamond - the Danish Rob Halford? Metallica (or maybe just Lars) have often cited them as a major influence. Can't say I've heard of the others though... 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

It's why they cover Am I Evil so much. 1 hour ago, AnglianRed said: I dunno if you heard but they retired a while back. Plus they're not Danish.

There's a guy who should definitely keep most of his thoughts to himself. Actually I find most of their songs to be pretty meh. The only ones that ever really grabbed me were Crazy Nights and their re-write of Argent's God Gave Rock n' Roll To You for Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. Hmm...now I think on it, Love It Loud and Unholy aren't bad either...but thats definitely it. Link to post Share on other sites
