'There are a lot of Volbeat signatures in it. 'I don't think it would have sounded like this if not for the pandemic,' he says. There are nods to the band's past on Servant of the Mind, as Poulsen acknowledges.

Up-tempo tracks like 'Say No More' with its quick lyrical 'Jump in the Fire' shoutout to Metallica breeze by, while more moderately paced tracks such as 'The Sacred Stones' pack more of a punch. There isn't a lot of innovation on the album, but the songs are instantly catchy and memorable. 'I was in a good place and mood while at home, and had a captive audience of myself.' 'I wrote the whole album in three months,' Poulsen says. Volbeat albums tend to be released every three years or so, but Servant of the Mind went faster. Several Volbeat songs have topped the Mainstream Rock chart, including 'Wait A Minute My Girl' from this record, which became their ninth number-one single. It does however feature another batch of potential hit singles, adding to the plethora they've had over the past decade or so. 1 Billboard Modern Rock singles, “Shotgun Blues” and “Wait A Minute My Girl,” is now available in standard CD, deluxe 2 LP vinyl in various limited-edition variants, and a deluxe digital edition.Their eighth studio album Servant of the Mind doesn't feature any guests from harder genres. 2 respectively on the Billboard Current Hard Rock Music Albums chart and Current Rock Albums chart.
