Volbeat's "Heaven Nor Hell" came out in 2010, the third single pulled from Beyond Hell / Above Heaven, the Danish band's fourth studio record, and it's a hard rock barnstormer with a curveball: Henrik Hall of Love Shop blowing harmonica through it. Jacob Hansen pitches in guest guitar, tambourine and extra vocals.
Michael Poulsen wrote it alone, words and music, and by his own account it's a sermon against sermons, telling people to trust themselves instead of leaning on religion or any other crutch. The video, directed by Uwe Flade, sets the band up in a desert junkyard and lets them rip.
