گروه دانمارکی Volbeat در سال 2001 در کپنهاگ پایه گذاری شده و تا به امروز هفت آلبوم کامل استودیویی منتشر کرده است.
سبک انها تلفیقی از راک اند رول هوی متال و rockabilly است.انها از هنرمندان کلاسیک راک اند رول مثل الویس پریسلی و johnny cash و گروههای جدیدتر هوی متال و هاردراک الهام گرفته اند.
در سال 2000 مایکل پولسن (وکال و گیتاریست گروه) که عضو گروه دث متال Dominus بود از گروه جدا شد و گروه منحل گردید و مایکل با دوستان خود و اعضای سابق دومینوس گروه جدیدی به نام volbeat را تاسیس کردند که نامش برگرفته از آلبوم سوم Dominus به نام vol.beat بود .
مضمون اشعار گروه بیشتر درمورد عشق، سبک راک اند رول و داستانهای گانگسترها است.
I'm in the lion's cave
I've done it all before
I feel alive again
But maybe not for long
Another day will come
Full of light and desire
Is your life okay?
Is it who you are?
Are you right on track
Or has it gone too far?
Well, only you will know
Don't let the blues get you down
I'll be alone in the end
I'll be alone and blue, oh
Well, it's the last day under
Last day under the
Last day under
Last day under the
Last day under, under the sun
Yeah, it's the last day under, under the sun
Nobody really knows
How many years went by
The lion left its home and now he's good and fine
Another day will come, full of light and desire
I'll be alone in the end
I'll be alone and blue, oh
Well, it's the last day under
Last day under the
Last day under
Last day under the
Last day under, under the sun
Yeah, it's the last day under, under the sun
The memories are all we have
So keep them safe and sound
Nothing matters but what we learned
Get your feet back on the ground
Well, it's the last day under
Last day under the
Last day under
Last day under the
Last day under, under the sun
It's the last day under
Last day under the
Last day under
Last day under the
Last day under, under the sun
Well, It's the last day under
Last day under the
Last day under
Last day under the
Last day under, under the sun
Yeah, it's the last day under, under the sun, oh
Yeah, it's the last day under, under the sun (under the sun)
