If Volbeat’s ninth album, God Of Angels Trust, is anything to go by, then Michael Poulsen is obsessed with goats. Not only does the album title spell out ‘GOAT’, but one of the animals features on the album and appears in a title of one of its songs. Volbeat’s singer, guitarist and chief songwriter Poulsen, laughs off the suggestion. “No, I don’t have any goats at home,” he insists. “But maybe I should.”
References to bearded bovidae aside, the album continues the Metallica-approved Danes’ bolshy fusion of metal, punk and old-fashioned rock’n’roll.
