Both work well in the context of what they are doing on this disc. They also give you a little bit of county with total metal remakes of Hank William's 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' and 'Making Believe' by Michigan's own Jimmy Work. He uses this most effectively on a song like 'Light A Way' with its almost do-wop metal sound. A lot of that has to do with the very old style vocal delivery of Michael Poulsen. Both of these tunes will have you doing your headbanging with saddle shoes on! Yes, it does have some similarities to Green Day but only in passing as these guys capture the spirit of the time much better. This also holds true with the tale of a stalker called 'Maybellene I Hofteholder'. When the song is about one of these characters thinking of his true love back in the 50's, you get great heavy metal with a 50's tinge called 'Back To Prom'. Reoccurring characters is getting to be their trademark.

From the swamp rock instrumental intro to the pure rock and roll of the title track, these guys crack out pure rockabilly/metal that puts many of our nations bands to shame.Īnother aspect that works well is how they carry a theme from their last release and use it here and according to rumor will still carry over to their next CD. I would have to say that really rubbed off because this Danish band is more American sounding than a lot of the bands from here that are trying to sound European. One thing all their heroes have in common is they are American. As someone who grew up with the earlier singers and then cut his teeth on the later, it is a welcome to hear a band that realizes where their roots are and can use that legacy to make something new and also a whole lot of fun. Inspired by such diverse music styles as Elvis, Johnny Cash and Metallica, Volbeat has managed to come up with a blending of them all that will appeal to those that can remember these stars in their heyday as well as those that only know of them from history. Posted by Scott Ward, SoT Staff Writer on 06:29:43 All of this coupled with those horrible vocals and with maybe 3 tracks worth listening to more than once out of 14, this is not a recommended CD. The last CD was a terrible era Metallica copycat disc and Guitars Gangsters & Cadillac Blood seems to long for being a Blink 182 or Green Day Punk record. Volbeat needs to make up their minds into what direction that they want to go in. Volbeat are all over the place with some Country tinged music, along with the 50's and post Punk garbage that I already mentioned. Me, I have a hard time getting past the Casper the Friendly ghost vocal delivery and most of this CD, musically, does nothing to make me any more of a fan.

'Mary Ann's Place' shows some serious signs of great songwriting and 'Find That Soul', along with 'Hallelujah Goat' are the 2 full on Metal tracks on the CD. However there is always something good to report and the songs 'Mary Ann's Place' and 'Find That Soul' would be the case here. Throw in those ghastly, ghost of an excuse vocals and this is a recipe for a train wreck.

From the '50's Buddy Holly era trite of 'Mabellene I Hofteholder' to the post Punk, Blink 182 flavored 'Back To Prom' this so called Metal band is making no sense and travelling into a territory sure to alienate many fans for sure. More so, the music contained within is quite quirky and misguided at best. The album offers nothing in terms of guitar heroics that one might think they were in store with a title such as this. Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood is not only a ridiculously named CD title but it is also 14 tracks of over the top Glenn Danzig ghostly delivered vocals with James Hetfield-isms all over the place. The return of the Danish band Volbeat with their latest CD offering, Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood (Mascot Records) is another miss by this misguided band with a ghost throated lead vocalist.
