This week on Mandatory Music, we dive horns-first into Volbeat’s blistering new track “In the Barn of the Goat: Giving Birth to Satan's Spawn in a Dying World of Doom.” Is Michael Poulsen stepping up as the new Metal Elvis, ready to snatch the crown from Glenn Danzig himself? We break down the riffs, the vocals, and the epic energy of the song in classic Mandatory Music style—with a killer conversation to match.

But first… we talk golf. Yes, you read that right—before the doom and devilry, we tee off with a few minutes on the unexpected joys of the golf course.

Tune in for a wild mix of fairways and firestorms.
