Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil, the second album from Copenhagen's Volbeat, came out on Mascot in 2007 and nailed down the band's odd, irresistible splice of rock and roll swagger and heavy metal crunch. Michael Poulsen sings and plays guitar with a big, brawling croon, Thomas Bredahl adds the second guitar, Jon Larsen keeps it thumping, and Jacob Hansen's production gives the riffs a hard, polished edge.
It went straight in at number one in Denmark, a first for the band, and went platinum. The surprise at home was "The Garden's Tale", a single that hung around the Danish chart for 18 weeks, peaking at 18, while its video got heavy rotation on MTV Denmark; "Sad Man's Tongue" and "Radio Girl" got videos too. "Mr. & Mrs. Ness" picks up the tale of Danny and Lucy from the debut, a saga the band kept spinning until 2016.
