Volbeat es una banda danesa con un sonido inconfundible que fusiona el metal, punk rock, rockabilly y el hard rock. Fundada en Copenhague en 2001, Volbeat es el resultado de la visión del talento de Michael Poulsen, el carismático líder y vocalista del grupo. Antes de Volbeat, Poulsen formaba parte de Dominus, una banda de death metal que alcanzó cierto éxito en los años 90. Sin embargo, Poulsen anhelaba explorar nuevas fronteras musicales, dando origen así a Volbeat.
La formación original de la banda incluía a Michael Poulsen en la voz y guitarra, Franz Gottschalk en la guitarra, Anders Kjølholm en el bajo y Jon Larsen en la batería. En 2005, lanzaron su álbum debut “The Strength/The Sound/The Songs”, que rápidamente capturó la atención de críticos y fans por igual, posicionándose como una de las revelaciones del momento.
El segundo álbum, “Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil”, lanzado en 2007, consolidó su reputación. Este trabajo alcanzó el número uno en las listas danesas y fue certificado con discos de oro. Canciones como "Sad Man’s Tongue" y "The Garden's Tale" se convirtieron en clásicos instantáneos, demostrando la capacidad de la banda para mezclar energía cruda con melodías pegajosas.
Con su tercer álbum, “Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood” (2008), Volbeat no solo reafirmó su popularidad en Europa, sino que también comenzó a ganar una base de seguidores en Estados Unidos y otras partes del mundo. Un

The Mirror And The Ripper Song Lyrics
The Mirror And The Ripper by Volbeat Found the morning liquor found the morning light
Looking into the rearview mirror the motherf**kers are all awaiting him down the line
Sick and tired of fighting, all the cr*p inside
Starting a new day, breathing in the morning, got a feeling leaving
Something behind
He sees the lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely days
Left his car out in desert forever more
He's got another life now to explore
And forever you will hear the people talk, how they can hear his boots out in the cold
And the fallen will get down on his knees (x2)
And forever the man in the coat
Will cast his shadow among these who know
The tale of the gansgter who shot all his demons for good
Then along came the mirror and the ripper
What do you see in the night?
Passing shadows that can scar your soul, and make you feel demonized
Hear a match and see the lightning from the ripper
What do you have in your mind?
We believe that he comes for another wicked destiny night
Dazing in the dark the life line going cold in the fire
Have you asked yourself what it is that you see?
Well, is it Mr. Cadillac or you?
Walking among those who nearly found peace
Into the light, and out of the blue
And the fallen will get down on his knees (x2)
And forever the man in the coat
Will cast his shadow among these who know
The tale of the gansgter who shot all his demons for good
Then along came the mirror and the ripper
What do you see in the night?
Passing shadows that can scar your soul, and make you feel demonized
Hear a match and see the lightning from the ripper
What do you have in your mind?
We believe that he comes for another wicked destiny night
Dazing in the dark the life line going cold in the fire
Look into his eyes you'll meet a hundred angels cry
Face the mirror you gonna seek another day
You gonna face the mirror you gonna seek another day
You gonna face the mirror you gonna seek another day
You gonna face the mirror you gonna seek another day
You gonna ohhh
Going lonely home
