VOLA | Audiotree From Nothing

[@mariagheata2133]

I don't know about others, but VOLA music definitely feels like getting a hug. A firm, confident, warm and comforting Scandinavian hug that smells like cinnamon buns and apple pastries that is there for you on a cold, wet, short winter day. I could go on, but I think I've made my weird point. Long live VOLA.

[@johngiuliosprich]

Maria 💙💙💙

[@timnijs1278]

Well said Maria, that's how it feels for me as well

[@Sosenheimer]

Thats exactly what I feel about this Band, but couldnt name it. Thanks for this perfect explanation. 🎉

[@alexwong115]

Thats the best description of Vola i´ve ever heard

[@martinmcginty9792]

Well put.

[@michaelclark7456]

VOLA are some of the nicest people ever. I seen them in Toronto last year and it was the BEST concert I've ever been to. I recently went through an apartment fire where I lost everything, including my vast collection of VOLA merch. They heard about it, reached out and sent me a care package including shirts, albums, patches, picks, and a handwritten postcard. During one of the lowest moments of my life, that put a gigantic smile on my face amd I soo desperately needed that. They simply are the best. I'm soo excited for new music :)

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

They definitely are the best! Hi Mike! :)

[@moshlyfe]

Man, this was awesome to read. Hope things are looking up for you now brother.

[@wheelsofmercury]

I was at that concert! Right up front, too. They truly seem like such wonderful people!

[@jeremysumrallflickmaker]

That is an incredible story!! Heart goes out to you!

[@Sannosama]

Thank you for sharing ^~^ What a blessing. That is so awesome, man

[@rodrigocosta7374]

The keyboard/synth makes everything sound so much bigger. Vola rules.

[@theiranxican7412]

Not many key players out there these days. Bands will just use midi programming and a daw to program the synths, samples, keys etc. To handle the same task. Vola could easily be a 3 piece band if the wanted but they rather give the true meaning of musician workmanship to their dude that kills it being their keys player. Not bashing bands that do the alternative because sometimes it's just cheaper and easier to go that route, but it shows Volas gracious character as band. They were definitely a treat seeing them in Dallas!

[@rodrigocosta7374]

@@theiranxican7412 agreed. It adds so much and makes them stand out!

[@AustinPeters]

Absolute dream to host this.

[@johnmurray5241]

Absolute hero 👌👌

[@spacecorpse_death]

Good work brother. I’ve been so obsessed with these guys

[@thijsroeterink]

Vola is the only metal band who lets you feel love, positive energy , goosebumps but also kicks you in the balls, creeps you out and make you cry.

[@brandbird]

Apparently you haven't heard Bloodywood. They definitely hit those notes, too. Check out "Aaj" from them.

[@SyntheticFuture]

Try Devin Townsend ;) But there's so many metal bands that have a much wider range than just anger.

[@GoatMee]

I'll add Voyager to the mix

[@athmaid]

I'd say that's true for most (progressive) metal bands

[@amplifymysound]

ill add katatonia to this mix

[@mauriciodaniell]

VOLA is the most forward-thinking band in metal now. goosebumps!

[@dmndxdave]

i found this band bc craig reynolds posted a reaction video to adam playing 24 light years. there have been some losses in my life that i never wanted to get over. "i could leave this house, but i won't. there's an echo that seems to live on." hearing that line definitely felt like a hug i had waited years to get. VOLA forever

[@TvrkishOutlaw]

Song hit Deep

[@uomo_favico]

Sorry for your losses. Everyone has its own path to follow, through pain and joyful moments. A hug to you from italy

[@ega7072]

That reaction is fucking great, return to it once in awhile, just to see him go “ok this is sick” and “look at his little face”

[@dmndxdave]

@@ega7072 honestly hearing adam speak and *not* having an old grandad voice threw me for a loop

[@barto4586]

Me too.I even thanked craig for that on a stray show

[@Zhamora8888]

VOLA's music is like getting a hug that turns to a suplex afterwards

[@DaMaGeRR]

This band is in the top of world prog metal bands right now. Simply brilliant.

[@APKyle]

YAAAAASSSSS! I came across Vola in 2021 and they’ve been a personal favorite ever since. Asger is a role model- singing and ripping those riffs simultaneously is madness. Couldn’t have clicked this any faster!!

[@italofeitosa8637]

[@cicaro_wav]

Wow! I love VOLA so much. The curation of Audiotree is just perfect

[@GhANeC]

Asger shredding like it aint a thing while hitting all THOSE vocal notes and harmonies 😮

[@martinmcginty9792]

Yeah, I thought the same thing...damn

[@mattdoesrock]

The Danish Devin Townsend

[@olumbefalu]

Adam absolutely ripping that kit to shreds 🤘🏾😵‍💫🤘🏾

[@durona]

Well, they officially have a new fan from a small village in America!

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Welcome to the community! :)

[@carolynway850]

Back again to give love on a live performance. Excellent 👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@RemyVorender]

I LOVE you guys. Can't wait for the next album. One of my favorite bands for sure.

[@3.eRicc_]

one of the best ones yall have ever put together.

[@Jadusart]

Love this band even more after seeing this.

[@johndonaldson3890]

New album stat please. Love your music and this performance.

[@smokejc]

Head Mounted Sideways is so good

[@shrimpeye]

Thanks for the musical hug! Hope you guys can make it over to Australia soon :)

[@JDubzDrumz]

Yes! I drove hours to see them at the beat kitchen in 2022. Adam was so nice and genuine to chat with after the show. 🤘 The band was taking photos with people after the show. When it was my turn in line, I asked to get a photo with Adam by his kit and the band members had a laugh in the best way 🤘 I then said "he's one of my favorite drummers currently, dudes unique." Genuinely mean it. 🙏🏻 Hope they keep getting exposure and getting a bigger audience.

[@avarice8]

Man that cymbal stack is filthy. Great performances all around.

[@Grasses0n]

VOLA is an excellent example of why peace and harmony among the band members is so crucial and how it can improve the quality of the music. I love this band and wish them nothing but the best.

[@tarsismarlos2266]

i´m a brazlian guy and i love this band!!

[@ChaplainAMMace]

I LOVE seeing VOLA receiving the attention they deserve! 🖤 They've been on my musical radar since 2018 with the release of Applause of a Distant Crowd. Then Witness came out, and has been one of my all time favorite albums. I can't wait to hear what they do next!

[@ZakkiLowe]

Yes! This is now my absolute favorite Audiotree performance. I love this band.

[@AlphaBravoDingo]

I was going through a very tumultuous time in my life. I separated from my partner I lived with for nearly 8 years. I drove a lot for my job, building lifts and elevators throughout vermont. One day on the road I found Vola. Applause of a distant crowd resonated with me in a profound way. That song to this day brings me back to a state of mind I wish to sustain. Joyous and indifferent to the bullshit.

[@escapedillinger]

When one of your favorite drummers says his main influence is Karl Sagan, you know you're good at choosing favorite drummers.

[@TiffanyKairos]

VOLA’s music is like getting a big bear hug! A hug that’s strong and real and so fiercely present. Perfectly designed and prepared for any moment in life. Masterpiece after masterpiece. Cheers VOLA!

[@Jaysus777Live]

Stoked to see VOLA on here

[@bildini]

I was lucky enough to see VOLA a few years ago for their first ever North American show in the basement of the Middle East Club in Boston (Cambridge). What they were able to deliver was everything we were ready for and more. Incredible experience, incredible sound, incredible vibes in the crowd. VOLA were truly humble and appreciative of the crowd for their first NA experience and it showed throughout the night. Hard to describe the atmospheric and happy feelings experienced at a metal show but we went home with smiles on our faces for days. Just wish this session had Stray the Skies as that song has got to be my favorite/sounds absolutely amazing live. Lovely people, lovely music, more people need to experience it.

[@octaviogallo8513]

Of the greatest bands that music has produced in recent times, the public and critics only owe them applause.

[@dylancruz9867]

So awesome. These guys have remained my favorite band for the last few years. Love hearing them live!

[@Vdrum1010]

Cynic, Caligula's Horse, and now VOLA? Godamn we are getting fed real good!

[@markstansbury191]

I LOVE the slow driving beat!! Can u dig it???!!! Hell yes 💪🤘

[@paravarium]

Thank you for putting this together!!

[@binzianer]

I remember first listening to VOLAs first EP and being so confused, intrigued and impressed. Was just something I wanted to immediately hear more of and learn more about. That live video where they stood in their original formation in a circle I must have watched a thousand times. Really cool to see this evolution so many years later with their new formation standing again in a circle on my favorite live music radio/channel. I feel like a young lad again, thank you VOLA and Audiotree for that.

[@johnmurray5241]

I'm so happy.

[@trevorbenton783]

VOLA has gotta be the one band that I can listen to on repeat and never get tired of, especially 24 light years. That track in particular is just my song.

[@147pablox]

Same! That song is special

[@morper524]

Verlos en la Ciudad de México fue asombroso! Se montaron un show con luces fantástico y una calidad en el audio que pocas veces se puede encontrar en conciertos no tan "grandes" o masivos pero lo que realmente impresionó fue la "energía" que tienen ellos. Un concierto genial! Qué gusto que cada vez tengan un poco más de reconocimiento en medios!

[@davidpalmer8419]

VOLA is GOATED.

[@CharlieViking95]

So proud of my sweden boi Adam for making it this far. Big ups!

[@michaelkaleda4068]

This guys and this set feel like a medication. Have been with this band since 2021 and never disappointed. Their unique metal-lullaby sound is amazing! A couple of years ago you guys helped me a lot with kind of a mental struggle. Cheers from Moscow, Russia❣️ Thank you Audiotree for this incredible video and audio work. Everything stays in the right place, performing experience is on the level. Amazing production🤝🏻 P.S.: New single is a f*cking banger! Can’t get out of it. Great job🤘🏼

[@amplifymysound]

i found this band mid covid, not being able to go or do much of anything, and this band was definitely the hug that i needed. They mean the world to me. last year saw them live in washington dc and it was magical.

[@GhANeC]

Got this on repeat for DAYS now! It’s the PERFECT song short setlist.

[@WhiteSnake208]

One of my fav prog bands (: Y'all crushed it on this one, fellas! Bravo!!! I love how they articulate their artistic process... imho the ultimate goal of prog-metal is for the music to be as beautiful as it is "heavy".. Vola accomplishes this balance soooo wellllllll... Also, Adam offers private lessons, which I would highly recommend to any drummers who may read this!

[@Sun-vt7he]

Прекрасно ✨🔥

[@ronyortiz9835]

what a great band!!

VOLA has always blown my mind. They've been nothing short of inspirational and I can't wait to keep following them on their musical journey.

[@EliLemke-ft3fs]

Some members of this band did a odd cover of Meshuggahs spasm and it's the most out of this world himalayans ritual shit I've ever heard

[@tarkenton3895]

Was it the cover of Shed? Trued finding a Spasm one but couldn't find anything

[@BOOSTkdv]

Just found Vola a few weeks ago and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the music. It’s heavy, light, beautiful, spacey and tight all at the same time. Easily becoming one of my favorite bands. Come to Texas so I can see you live! 😊

[@DasiuzDT]

Thanks for the recomendation youtube, loving this band already 💖💖💖

[@drifterjaxx]

I found VOLA when they released Homesick Machinery way back, been listening to them ever since. One of if not my favorite prog band of all time. I got to see them at Prog Power in Atlanta in 2023, was a fantastic performance and an unforgettable experience for me. Love those guys, can't wait to see them live again!

[@Gradiencedk]

Can't stress how much i love this band. So proud to be from the same country and having had the pleasure of getting to know Asger and Nicolai -absolutely brilliant!

[@theiranxican7412]

Asger's 7 string Balaguer is literally what i can not stop drooling over. Its everything i want in an extended range guitar. 🥲 Saw them in Dallas and boy do they sound so musical and dynamic. Like literally putting on your favorite earbuds and listening to the audio on spotify. Mmmmmmm

I'm so glad to be alive at this exact moment where i get to watch this live performance; I LOVE VOLA And i love the fact Audiotree is promoting Creativity and art creation... keep on!
