Berlin’s Rockcafe Halford is dedicated to The Metal God himself. Jam-packed with Judas Priest memorabilia, and with its own Halford Hell beer on tap (delicious, by the way), we never want to leave. Hammer have been invited here to hang out with Michael Poulsen, frontman of Volbeat, whose label offices are in the city.
When the great Dane arrives, he’s obviously as impressed as we are, nodding his head and muttering “very cool” a lot as he takes everything in. Rockcafe Halford must indeed be “very cool” to get a reaction from Michael, a man who exudes effortless, quiet confidence and who has made Volbeat the biggest metal band to come out of Denmark.
