Someone did tell me though that one track “Slaytan” comes close to Slayer territory. There are apparently a few other tracks available on the “deluxe” version, but I did not get those tracks. I was tired of “You Will Know” before the lyrics kicked in, but “The Loa’s Crossroad” woke me back up with its Metallica style driving guitar work. “Battleship Chains” is a boogie rocker with a solid slide guitar and a hip-swagger feel. “Seal The Deal” is a grinder of a song which takes the album in a completely different direction - hard and heavy. “Goodbye Forever” will be a rock radio hit with its easy to absorb acoustic/rock mix. Others, such as “Mary Jane Kelly” roll off without making an impact. I do point out that “Black Rose” has Canadian rocker Danko Jones on guitar and vocals. There are parallels to the old Nickelback standard…., “Devil’s Bleeding Crown” as one, which can be compared to Nickelback’s “ Burn It To The Ground.” “Black Rose” and “Rebound” sound like hard rock covers of old ’50s songs. But, the ultimate question is, does it rock? I’d rate it a yes, with a caveat. Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie is Volbeat‘s sixth studio album. Volbeat top such perennial favorites as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sixx:A.M. on the Billboard Rock charts. More recently, Volbeat’s “Devil’s Bleeding Crown” has held first place on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs for the last eight weeks running, as of June 5, 2016. In fact, the 2010 album Beyond Hell/Above Heaven was recently certified gold in North America with over a half a million albums sold, downloaded, or streamed. It should be noted that platinum records in Europe equate to over 10,000 units sold, which is a pretty impressive track record for a hard rock band. Volbeat‘s fifth album was entitled ‘Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies’…” Their second album ‘Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil’ received platinum status, and their 2010 release ‘Beyond Hell/Above Heaven’ was subject to widespread international critical acclaim, receiving double platinum in Denmark, platinum in Finland and Germany, and gold in Sweden and Austria. Formed in Copenhagen, Denmark, Wikipedia describes their albums thusly, “ All of their studio albums have been certified gold in Denmark. Volbeat have been around for a while, and have certainly scored big on the hard rock/metal scene.
