On their eighth studio album Servant of the Mind, multi-platinum Danish act Volbeat take their signature heavy metal, psychobilly and punk ‘n' roll sound up a notch while showcasing Michael Poulsen's keen ability for songwriting and storytelling. "I wrote the whole album in three months," recalls Poulsen, "I was in a good place and mood while at home, and had a captive audience of myself. There are a lot of Volbeat signatures in it. If you go back to the first record and compare it to where we are now, you can hear how the band has developed its style, while keeping the signature sound."

Many songs on the album weave intricate and fascinating tales. "The Sacred Stones" tells the story of an earthly being who has committed himself to the dark side. He is on a mission, speaking to darker forces and fallen angels. Meanwhile, "The Devil Rages On" looks at the idea of the devil taking human form. Album opener "Temple of Ekur" returns to the ancient themes explored in past songs such as "The Gates of Babylon," while the epic album closer "Lasse's Birgita" explores the story of the first witch burnings to occur in Sweden in 1471.
