About

𝗩𝗼𝗹𝗮

Mirroring the mysterious allure surrounding their latest creative phase, VOLA has announced the “Friend of a Phantom Europe Tour 2024”. Known for their innovative approach to progressive metal, VOLA continues to captivate audiences with their blend of intense rhythmic complexity and poignant lyrical narratives. The band has always transcended genre boundaries, delivering music that is as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally resonant.

Over the years, VOLA’s discography has showcased their bold fusion of styles. Their debut, “Inmazes,” introduced a sound characterised by ambient textures and heavy riffs, which evolved into more intricate musical landscapes in subsequent releases like “Applause of a Distant Crowd.” These albums have earned critical acclaim and bolstered their reputation in the metal scene, attracting a dedicated following with their unique blend of electronic elements and profound musical narratives. The 2020 release, “Witness,” further deepened their exploration of dark themes and complex rhythms, solidifying their position as genre pioneers.

As 2023 dawned, VOLA signalled the beginning of a new chapter in their musical journey with the release of their evocative single “Paper Wolf,” showcasing their continued ability to evolve and redefine their sound. This ongoing exploration delves into the spectral presences of belief and conviction that shape personal and collective existence. The “Friend of a Phantom” tour marks a pivotal point in their career, embodying this artistic evolution and the deep, introspective journey they invite their listeners to embark upon.

The album features arrangements by Vikram Shankar, mixing by Guido Aalbers, and mastering by Andy VanDette. Released by NAPALM RECORDS, it promises a cohesive and compelling narrative.

THE INTERSPHERE thrived through the crisis, gaining new insights, creativity, and breakthroughs.
This German quartet, often compared to Biffy Clyro and Muse, hit the charts with “Hold On, Liberty!” and are now top alternative rock acts in Germany.
Their experimental spirit shines in “Relations In The Unseen” and “The Grand Delusion”. Their new song, ‘Wanderer’, blends personal and socio-political themes.
Singer Christoph Hessler says, “We must take control and have the courage and imagination to escape our inertia.”
Despite lockdown challenges, they used the time creatively, producing the passionate ‘Wanderer’. Their 2024 vision is full of musical curiosity and discovery.
