COVER FRIDAY: My Body performed by Volbeat - I get annoyed when people say such and such band is not “metal” enough. While metal has certainly gotten heavier and louder and rawer over the decades, the fact that metal is better when it includes rather than excludes. And such is the fact with the Danish band Volbeat, formed when lead signer Michael Poulsen grew frustrated with the death metal scene. Since then, Volbeat has been meld various musical styles and creating their own unique brand of metal.
That trend continued with their latest album Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies released last month. There is a strong rockabilly vibe to many of the songs, but it is still heavy and still very much metal. It is therefore not surprising that they would cover the indie rock hit My Body by Young the Giant. I happen to like both, but the Volbeat version certainly makes for a more rocking, get you moving tune. Happy Cover Friday and enjoy!
