گروه دانمارکی Volbeat در سال 2001 در کپنهاگ پایه گذاری شده و تا به امروز هفت آلبوم کامل استودیویی منتشر کرده است.
سبک انها تلفیقی از راک اند رول هوی متال و rockabilly است.انها از هنرمندان کلاسیک راک اند رول مثل الویس پریسلی و johnny cash و گروههای جدیدتر هوی متال و هاردراک الهام گرفته اند. در سال 2000 مایکل پولسن (وکال و گیتاریست گروه) که عضو گروه دث متال Dominus بود از گروه جدا شد و گروه منحل گردید و مایکل با دوستان خود و اعضای سابق دومینوس گروه جدیدی به نام volbeat را تاسیس کردند که نامش برگرفته از آلبوم سوم Dominus به نام vol.beat بود .
مضمون اشعار گروه بیشتر درمورد عشق، سبک راک اند رول و داستانهای گانگسترها است.
