“Demonic Depression” has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, giving Volbeat their 13th chart-topper and extending their own record for the most No. 1s on that chart by any act originating outside of North America. The Danish band is now tied sixth overall alongside Van Halen, Godsmack, Disturbed, Linkin Park, and Papa Roach.
“Demonic Depression” is the third No. 1 from Volbeat‘s ninth album, God Of Angels Trust (June 2025), following “By A Monster’s Hand” and “Time Will Heal.” The band first set the non-North American record in March 2020 with “Die To Live” (featuring Neil Fallon of Clutch), which was their eighth No. 1 at the time.
The band’s previous No. 1s are as follows:
- “Heaven Nor Hell” (Beyond Hell/Above Heaven)
- “Still Counting” (Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood)
- “The Hangman’s Body Count” (Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies)
- “Lola Montez” (Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies)
- “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown” (Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie)
- “Black Rose (feat. Danko Jones)” (Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie)
- “Last Day Under The Sun” (Rewind, Replay, Rebound)
- “Die To Live (feat. Neil Fallon)” (Rewind, Replay, Rebound)
- “Wait A Minute My Girl” (Servant of the Mind)
- “Shotgun Blues” (Servant of the Mind)
- “By A Monster’s Hand” (God Of Angels Trust)
- “Time Will Heal” (God Of Angels Trust)
Volbeat have accumulated more than 145 gold and platinum certifications worldwide and hold a Grammy nomination for “Best Metal Performance” for “Room 24” (featuring King Diamond). The band — Michael Poulsen (vocals/guitar), Jon Larsen (drums), Kaspar Boye Larsen (bass), and Flemming C Lund (lead guitar) — will soon kick off the fourth leg of the “Greatest Of All Tours Worldwide” across Europe.
