The line he says before the faster part comes from an Elvis song, it’s really cool to see the influence of rockabilly and old rock n roll in their music
Since 2009 all I've eaten is Volbeat... I've seen them live in Montreal in a bar called club soda, once at rock on the range and to this day I can't listen to anyone else for my musical healing.... healing subconsciously with volbeat has kept me going through chronic pain for years! Thank you Volbeat for being around! In Montreal they asked for a song request and everyone screamed for Evelyn, I was the only one loud enough with the only request for who they are... Michael points to me to hear it again and I scream at the top of my lungs and BOOM! They drop right into it! That show was so small and personal that to this day it's my top 3 shows I've been to. Plus CKY opened for them. Strippers poutine and VOLBEAT!!!
I saw Volbeat at Knotfest a few years ago in 2019. A good friend of mine that passed away a couple months before that showed me Volbeat and since then I fell in love with them. Was glad I got to see them live for him since he never got to. The show was fucking awesome, they surely didn't disappoint
I enjoy all their albums. This return to the heavier sound and now with 20+ years of experience just takes it to a whole new level. Refreshing and totally metal!
Definitely a great song; I listen to it 42 times in a row and sing out loud every night! Do you actually pay attention to the lyrics? Do you know what it's about? Have you listened to "Leviathan"?
This goes out to everyone thinking Volbeat are devil worshippers. Ok so I am a Christian that loves metal and Volbeat is in my top 3 bands. After taking some consideration into the lyrics, every time volbeat puts out a new song I find that they are always stories about someone or something in history at some point. Their Shady Ladies album had a lot of stories for example. I listen to The Sacred Stones song and I hear a story about a person who has lost their way with God/Light and has decided to look to the Devil/Darkness instead. I never take it as Michael Poulson himself, but a character of the story and song. This song, Devil Rages On is more about the ancient ones and how the devil is in disguise all the time trying to get you to give into temptation. This is easily my favorite album of Volbeat. But you must listen to everything with a grain of salt. Understand Michael Paulson is using these ancient gods or beings as material to write music. The album is called servant of the mind. Meaning you're a slave to your own self in what you believe. Think deeper.
@@godd226 I think so too. Where is the best place to hide the Devil? Right in your face. The great deceiver. I know other Christian bands like Skillet. They don't hide. They scream their faith. Never bend, never break. This band never praises God. But they do praise the Devil.
Okay, So I love Volbeat's music and they are my fav band. I can see by reading the comments that there is some debate about what this song may or may not be about. Many of their song have some pretty dark overtones and it is easy to interpret them as advocating for evil. However, I think this is an incorrect interpretation of the music. If you read between the lines, I think this song and others by Volbeat act more as a warning against falling for Satan's lies. If you listen to all of Volbeat's songs you see there are many that speak of letting the "Light" be your guide and not to give into the darkness we all have inside us. Listen carefully and don't take the lyrics out of context. Volbeat emits a very hopeful and positive vibe to me. What is your opinion? I would love to hear it.
That’s how I want to look at it, I’m a Christian and I love this bands sound, but I don’t really like the satanic undertones. While I want to take what you said as it’s meaning, I feel like it’s more likely that they are just a little satanic
@Big Yoshi Same here. I really love the song, but then I actually studied what it says, and to me, it is more like a satan worshipping song. A masterpiece, but still, I like it but avoid it as a Christian. The song has great tunes and vocals, but I can't hide the fact on the meaning.
I haven’t listened to a lot of their music as far as lyrics go. But I started listening to this record. And I immediately felt like I needed to listen or rather read the lyrics. I’m not sure this is the only song on this record that is a conjuring of the darkness that is rising or may be rather falling into this realm. Whether this song is a warning or not it is a simple clear conjuring. There can be no debate I do not believe about whether or not this is a conjuring song or not. It is calling for the dark to come into this world. And it doesn’t read like a story as many of the other songs of this genre are presented as . For instance iron maiden’s number of the beast or slayers Born of Fire. I think listening to the rest of the album might be important before coming to a decision. But I don’t want to hear this song in my head over and over again. And I listen to this kind of stuff and have all my life. I just don’t want to be hearing the lyrics of conjuring the dark one from the valley over and over again. Which is what happens when you listen to the songs. You sing them in your head all day long. So I like the song I like the sound and the singer is extraordinary. But I’m not choosing this darkness that’s coming. I’m choosing grace and light and kindness. And I don’t want to hear these words repeating committing oneself and thought to the dark ““ Lord“. Sometimes those who are committed to Darkness hide their commitment for a long time before being honest about it. As it says in the song we have laid in hiding and are getting ready to show ourselves. And that whoever is singing is happy about that. That heaven built the kingdom or the castle of sin. This is a prayer to the Darkside. I don’t know if their intention was to point that out or just channel what is occurring now but it’s far too literal for me to be comfortable with hearing over and over again. That’s my take. I don’t think we should be defending the darkness when it’s presented so clearly to us. We may not want this band to be committed to this thing but a spade is a spade. If it looks like shit and it smells like shit don’t taste it because it’s probably shit. No matter what whoever is reading this I send you blessings of grace and light and acceptance. I suggest that you get as clear as you can in your intent to face these next years ahead of us if we are actually meant to face them. What seems like fantasy is becoming more real to this place we live in. We need to be careful with our intentions and our thoughts and our actions. And I think we need to find a way to accept and understand this other force that is coming here or revealing itself. Because the most important thing is to be less afraid then to be more afraid. And if we are not ready for these things revealing themselves we are going to be exceptionally panicked I think. There is something to learning to except what is frightening, scary, dark in regards to our own ability to be connected to something greater than fear in these things show themselves. If that in fact happens. If we let it in enough I’m pretty sure it’s guaranteed to happen. If we realize what the game is and choose to step out of it then we may not have to bear witness to such madness. Time will tell. Blessings brother’s blessing sisters.
Also no matter what the actual intent was when they get asked the question on whether or not They are conjuring up the dark one they will have an excuse and a story to say they’re not. They’re not that brave.
This is absolutely, hands down the greatest song I’ve ever heard from anyone, from anywhere, from anytime period. It’s amazing. uniquely perfect, just like this band.
I don't usually like long songs. I may just have a short attention span, but 3 minutes is about ideal for me. But, when this song ends it just leaves me wanting more of it.
Holy crap... I am completely speechless, this song is a masterpiece. It seems like every other band has gone downhill in recent years but Volbeat is getting better somehow, keeping going guys!
My favorite Elvis song. :P Apparently I was wrong about the chorus, but oh well. I love the theatricality of this one, and I'm really glad Volbeat continued the style from Sorry Sack of Bones.
Volbeat is Amazing! This tune is stucked in my head so I cant stop singing ti haha But could someone explain to me what this song is about? Having a hard time figureing it out.
![Volbeat: The Devil Rages On [Live 4K] (Gothenburg, Sweden - June 16, 2023)](/img/n.gif)
Rockabilly is an underrated genre
I think that's because bands hear Volbeat and know they can't do it better.
The change-up to the faster part and then the transition into the chorus... just amazing.
The line he says before the faster part comes from an Elvis song, it’s really cool to see the influence of rockabilly and old rock n roll in their music
Reminds of a song straight out of a Quentin Tarentino movie.
These guys have reached the absolute peak of their career. Unbelievably good song
It really does feel like they’ve peaked. I can’t imagine these guys getting any better
we pray to satan
Or have they? 🙂
True dat
@@alexalex-om9ic So you believe in Satan??
I imagine this is what Elvis would sound like singing hard rock ... Absolutely AMAZING!! Volbeat never fails!!!!! 🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same feelings! 🤩
Check out Danzig
That's what I thought
I was thinking the same thing
And Elvis died fat and obese on the toilet.
This song is the throwback to some of their western style songs like Sad Mans Tongue that I have missed, of the top songs on the album!
Since 2009 all I've eaten is Volbeat... I've seen them live in Montreal in a bar called club soda, once at rock on the range and to this day I can't listen to anyone else for my musical healing.... healing subconsciously with volbeat has kept me going through chronic pain for years!

Plus CKY opened for them. Strippers poutine and VOLBEAT!!!
Wow, Volbeat and CKY on the same show? That's a hell of a combo you got to experience!
I saw Volbeat at Knotfest a few years ago in 2019. A good friend of mine that passed away a couple months before that showed me Volbeat and since then I fell in love with them. Was glad I got to see them live for him since he never got to. The show was fucking awesome, they surely didn't disappoint
@@deathlysilence2712 your friend had a great taste in music. RIP! And yes Volbeat always puts on a fantastic show!
This is becoming one of their best albums to date and I love them all.
It is their best album to date
The new album keeps growing on me... it has so much variety and every song is memorable
I enjoy all their albums. This return to the heavier sound and now with 20+ years of experience just takes it to a whole new level. Refreshing and totally metal!
Possibly volbeats greatest song ever!
Definitely a great song; I listen to it 42 times in a row and sing out loud every night! Do you actually pay attention to the lyrics? Do you know what it's about? Have you listened to "Leviathan"?
Honestly though
I love this song. The opening is so badass and then it kicks off. Good stuff!!!

I like the way you think. As a Christian myself I'm struggling to discover the deeper meaning in most of their songs and what they truly are.
Exactly. The devil disguised himself as Volbeat and now he's got you.
@@godd226 I think so too. Where is the best place to hide the Devil? Right in your face. The great deceiver. I know other Christian bands like Skillet. They don't hide. They scream their faith. Never bend, never break. This band never praises God. But they do praise the Devil.
They are Devil worshipping. Your delusional bro! Come back to God. The Devil got you by the balls!
And your in disguise, pretending to be a Christian! Lol. I laugh in your face and Volbeat and the Devil.
I know rockabilly… Is this Metalbilly?
Dunno, but you just gotta love it!!!
Elvis metal
Yes it is
Volbeat goes where the Devil fears to tread. 🤘😝🤘
They are nothing. Just a blip.
@@daniellawrence5789nothing was never there 🤫
These guys are doing what other bands can't do any more....Good Rock.....!!....🤘🤘🤘
Bro they were very far away from "rock" few years ago 😅
This ain't rock. This is full on METAL!
@@petermiller4953 where's the metal...?
There's some metal in the drum stands and the guitar strings

Michael has said in interviews that it's about is about the devil taking human form and about his experience with ghosts.

As always Volbeat doesn’t disappoint!
Volbeat never disappoint

The guitar music meld in this Volbeat song enhances the music energy of this song.
@🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸💖
Love VOLBEAT !!! saw them 3 times so far twice in Montreal and once in Quebec city
Yeah it makes up a bit for Montreal s crappy weather
This Record captures some of the best songs from volbeat to date. This is one of them
Heard this song live on the 27th and this gave me chills exactly what I needed to hear.
this is glorious, easily my fav track of the new album!
Just when ya thought Volbeat couldn't get better....
Would have been a perfect soundtrack to the Lucifer series! 😌
Had the exact same response to this. Here’s to wishful thinking for a season 7 to play this on.
Such a symbolic healing of the mind
It's my favourite song from Servant of the Mind, thank you so much!
Can’t wait to see them with Ghost in February. 🤘🏻
Just saw this live this past Sunday. Sounded great! His voice in the part starting 3:15 was just 😍😍.
This song should give Volbeat every possible award out now, brilliant.
Michael's vocal delivery on this one could not be more perfect.
man this song is the maddest baddest song around
Absolutely love the volbeat work on this album
I absolutely love the dark tone of the music and the lyrics! It's so edgy, and Volbeat pulls it off with style!
Killer disc!!!! I can't wait to see you guys in a couple weeks. You've blown away this old metal head. Keep it up!
Can’t wait to see/hear Volbeat live!..2022/March 3rd/Ghost and Twin Temple.🤟🏻🔥👹🤙🏻X
Twin temple sucked, volbeat and ghost were good but twin temple left a bad taste in my mouth and made me want to go to church lol
Twin Temple turned out to be high school edgelord in band form, heh. Wish I'd looked them up in advance, I could've taken my time getting there
never forget the first time I heard them in 2007 live in Aarhus..they warmed up for metallic and I thought they were metallic 😂🤟🇩🇰
Godsmack and Shinedown are my favorite band but now volbeat too
Love this. Can we get a long version with another chorus at the end though??
This song is just... wow
I don't usually like long songs. I may just have a short attention span, but 3 minutes is about ideal for me. But, when this song ends it just leaves me wanting more of it.
Meus senhores a melhor banda que apareceu nos últimos anos , com certeza.
0:53 Elvis Presley reference (Milkcow Blues Boogie). ROCK ON!!!
Would love to see them play.. Too bad they do not cross the ocean to America.. What a shame.. Great band all the way around...
