When we recorded Becoming, our producer Jacob Hansen was like ‘this sounds like Entombed – you should use the pedal!’ We were like ‘we’d love to but its been out of stock for years…’ and he was like ‘well I’ve got it’ so we were able to tap into that Swedish death metal sound, which is beautiful. I don’t know if it was Nihilist or Dismember who figured out that if you turned all the dials up to 10 it would make this insane sound, but that became the sound of Swedish metal for years. Montez, and Heaven Nor Hell and peaked at Number 1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Chart.
VOLBEAT ALBUM HARD ROCK FOR FREE
They’re such a unique band and after they came out loads of other bands tried to copy their sound – there was a specific guitar pedal that bands from Sweden used that I think was just called ‘heavy metal’.

With Volbeat there have been moments where we could incorporate some of those influences into our sound, but beyond that they’re a band we toured with a lot and LG was a good friend of mine and I got to know Alex really well too.

It was amazing when we got to hook up with Barney as we were all huge fans. With their very own Elvis-Metal style - a style that moves between metal, RocknRoll, Rockabilly, Punkrock, Country and Blues - Volbeat has conquered not. With Barney, Napalm Death developed their style more towards death metal and away from the grindcore and punk elements they had to start with. I already knew Barney’s work through Benediction on their great first album Subconscious Terror. I heard it again later and found out it was Napalm Death’s Harmony Corruption, their first with Barney Greenway on vocals. punk rock, hard rock and heavy metal to a music blender and the result is Servant of the Mind it’s nice on the ears but not so easy to get it done.
