VOLA's previous album ‘Inmazes’ was met with a wave of critical praise; Prog Magazine lauded their “widescreen heavy stadium Prog”, Metal Hammer rejoiced in the “genre-defying, weighty riffs, gloomy, ambient soundscapes and guttural grooves” whilst The Sun exclaimed their “genre-mashing” ability.

On 'Applause of a Distant Crowd', VOLA embraced a different approach, the guitars have less gain, the drums sound dirtier and alive and everything feels looser. The contrast between the mellow and heavy is more profound than on any of their previous records. VOLA are ever evolving, always delving and dissecting the recesses of human thought and creating rich and textured soundscapes.

The post Witness 12″ Vinyl – Transparent & Black Smoke Marble appeared first on VOLA.

Inmazes is the title of the debut album by Danish metal band VOLA. VOLA's music exists in a borderline area of rock, that is as high-flying and melodically fulfilling as it is itchy and heavy. The band forms quirky trails of distorted bass and guitars, entangling synth lines and constantly groove-driven drums that play up against wide vocal harmonies and deep-blue-textured electronica. The Copenhagen-based quartet grew out of a common interest in eclectic, groove-oriented music which draws inspiration ranging from 70's progressive rock to modern day electronica, industrial and extreme metal.

The post Monsters EP – Vinyl appeared first on VOLA.

The idea for 'Live From The Pool' was conceived at a time where it was particularly hard to be a band with an international fanbase. Due to the Covid-19-pandemic making live shows and touring practically impossible, we were forced to think very carefully - and creatively - about how to reach our listeners in new ways. We wanted to do something spectacular that didn't seem like a compromise - and with loads of help from talented people, we think we succeed in creating an online concert experience out of the ordinary.

'Live From The Pool' is the biggest production we have ever made as a band and it was very exciting for us to work with such an extensive set-up. We filmed the entire concert, featuring both new and old material, at an abandoned indoor swimming pool with five cameras and a drone, the scenery lit up by a beautiful light installation, custom-made for this show by the danish audiovisual artist collective Vertigo.

We really loved doing the show and we are so happy and thankful that both our fans and our label wished to help transcend this one-time experience into a release on Blu-Ray, LP, CD & Digital - available now for everybody to enjoy.
