New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, multi-platinum Danish band
Volbeat share their new music for "Becoming," from their album
Servant Of The Mind (Republic Records). The music video captures the band on the road during the last three
Volbeat tours, and was edited and directed by Brittany Bowman.
Michael Poulsen says of "Becoming," "it is a tribute to the mighty
Entombed and our good friend L.G. Petrov, who sadly passed away. When we were about to record "Becoming," it has that opening riff that is really inspired by Entombed, and we thought 'why not use that same Boss HM-2 pedal on it that
Entombed was known for using.' That pedal is the signature Swedish distorted guitar sound, and is sounds disgustingly good. After we reorded the song we got the news of L.G.'s passing, and decided to dedicate the song to him since
Entombed was the inspiration behind that riff. 'Becoming' is for you, my dear friend. Cheers!"
The album is now available in standard CD, deluxe 2LP vinyl (in various limited-edition variants) and a deluxe digital edition.
The band previously shared music videos for "Temple of Ekur," "Shotgun Blues" and "Wait A Minute My Girl."
