Media type: CD

On its raucous 2007 outing, ROCK THE REBEL/METAL THE DEVIL, the Danish ensemble Volbeat mixes metal with a melodic 1960s rock-&-roll influence. Frontman Michael Paulson sounds like a fusion of late-era Elvis and early Misfits Glenn Danzig, particularly on the propulsive "Radio Girl," making for one of the most enjoyable European metal releases of the year.
