Volbeat is music for people who think Disturbed are too intellectual. Fronted by a man in ex-convict cosplay who sings like a cartoon drill sergeant, Volbeat are what transpired when a group of suburban heshers who shared the opinion that Load and Unload are Metallica's best albums decided to form a band in order to torture music.
The Devil's Bleeding Crown is a song about...I dunno, the devil, I guess? Its pretty impossible to work out any sort of meaning in the lyrics. It is generically about Satan in a way which seems completely opportunistic, as if they wanted to seem much darker and edgier than they actually are, so they just slapped some words about the devil together without any concern for literary coherence.
The instrumentation is also a gaudy mish mash of hard rock tropes. It sounds exactly like the sort of music you would hear on radio stations that play this kind of music, but it doesn't stand out in any way. This song meets the criteria to be this song, and that is about it. Fodder for unfaithful fathers to head bang to at the bar on a Friday night as they try to pick up women who share their STD history.
