Danish-Swedish powerhouse VOLA have today released their new album “Friend Of A Phantom” (via Mascot Records). In celebration of the news, the band has shared not one, but two new visualizers for “Bleed Out” and “We Will Not Disband”. When asked about the album release, the band commented:
“The anticipation for this day has been building for a long time, and finally, it has come. Our fourth album, “Friend Of A Phantom,” is now in the world for you to listen to. To make this matter even more exciting, we will immediately start playing big portions of the new album on our European tour. With us, we bring our excellent crew and a literal ton of lights!”
Leading up to today, the quartet shared “Paper Wolf”, “Break My Lying Tongue”, “I Don’t Know How We Got Here” and most recently, “Cannibal” featuring In Flames vocalist Anders Fridén. Altogether, the tracks have amassed a staggering 3.6 million streams on Spotify alone and over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
Their headline “Friend Of A Phantom” European tour will begin on today November 1st and will call through Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the UK, and The Netherlands. Tickets are available HERE.
“We are thrilled to be returning on tour in Europe in November after two years,” the band says.” Europe is where we have toured the most, and it feels like we are reuniting with an old friend. At the same time, we always see and meet new people every time we play in Europe. That is the charm of it: returning home to warm festivities and embracing old and new faces. We want to bring the best possible show to honour that and show our gratitude. This is why we are working closely with our team to elevate our live show to an entirely new level in November, something to match the latest chapter, “Friend Of A Phantom.”
It has been three years since the release of VOLA‘s defining album, “Witness.” They’ve since wrapped up two tours of the US with several venues upgraded due to overwhelming demand, as well as sold-out shows in New York, L.A., and Chicago. Their first tour of Canada resulted in sold-out shows in Toronto and Montreal, and they rounded off the continent with triumphant South American shows in Mexico, Brazil, and a sold-out show in Chile.
The Danish-Swedish quartet – Asger Mygind (vocals/guitar), Martin Werner (keys), Nicolai Mogensen (bass), and Adam Janzi (drums) – are now to set free their fourth studio album. Their strength has always been combining a multitude of ideas within a single song, packing it in with a grandiose power that can be as ferocious as it can be delicate.
