VOLA - Cannibal feat. Anders Fridén of In Flames (Offical Music Video)

[@volaband]

When we toured North America in the fall of 2023, Anders and Björn from In Flames attended our concert at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. They came backstage before the show to chat with us, and it turned out they were big fans of the band. Quite a surreal experience, given that In Flames have played a huge part in forming our musical DNA. When we came home from tour, we dug deep into recording Friend Of A Phantom, and during that process, we began discussing whether Cannibal would benefit from having guest vocals. We all agreed that having some really powerful screams in there would elevate the song, and having just created a bond with Anders meant that it was the easiest decision in the world to ask him if he wanted to be a part of the track. Anders quickly said yes to participate, and eventually, he both recorded vocals and came to Denmark to shoot the video with us. We feel truly fortunate and are enormously proud of the result.

Thanks for tuning in! VOLA

[@pr0tese]

So happy I get to see both In Flames and you guys in the beginning of November :) One hell of a metal weekend in Gothenburg

[@roryasrorri701]

W for everyone!

[@strangegnosis]

Still pinching myself this is real since this is a dream collaboration for me. I have a tattoo based on "Swim" and can't begin to describe how influential In Flames has been on me. Wouldnt have led me to VOLA all those years later. I love this & what you guys create and give to the world, Thank you See you in the pit next time in N. America

[@joshuaenyart5570]

Soooo goooood!!! Thank you!!!

[@MajeAdams17]

What a dope feature!

[@TkayShinoda]

I love VOLA so much they're so different from anything else. I don't care what people say about In Flames (old vs. new). Andres is one of the GOATS, his voice is so unique, to me He's like the Chester Bennington of Melodeath. I'd love an In Flames and VOLA tour, that would be so great.

[@metaltim]

especially if IF did an anny tour of an old album.. jester (almost 30!), whoracle or colony (25 this year)

[@geniallyrealmajaw378]

Totally agreed brother 💯

[@jfisher164]

💯 I had never heard of In Flames until they toured with Megadeath (I went to see Megadeath). After In Flames rocked the fucking house, Megadeath came on and I had to leave the concert after a song or two…it just wasn’t a fair comparison. I feel like Vola and In Flames would be the same haha. Two awesome bands but man I couldn’t listen to one and then the other fairly haha

[@sneauxwolfeJapan]

❤❤❤

[@NefariousHourOfMusic]

Instrumentation of Vola is pretty good, but the vocalist ruins it for me, which is unfortunate. Anders though, is absolutely a GOAT.

[@Muckduck92]

In my opinion a massively underrated and undiscovered band. Keep it up bois, amazing as usual!

[@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime]

using bois in 2024 is hella gay

Just sat down at work, 9am in Canada, saw this as I opened KZbin for some King's X. Had to pee during the middle of the clip, yet resisted. Excellent song by Vola!

Never heard of Vola before, but this is indeed very neat! Another band to start digging deeper into. Cheers algorithm.

Found this track just a few days ago and just wanted to say I cannot stop listening to it! I've never heard of Vola before this, so Anders and in flames being mentioned in the track really made me give it a shot, not disappointed! Anders tone is still SOOO FREAKING GOOD! Much love from Sweden.

[@thorfinnthegoatmc]

"they can't all be bangers" said a fool who hasn't heard Vola yet

[@TINIBofficial]

This song has everything I love about Vola and I agree the guest vocals were perfect for this song.

[@MonosphereBand]

Anders is such a cool guy! I met him at the prelistening session for "Foregone" and we talked about Orbit Culture being their tour support and he was simply amazed by having the chance of supporting young and ambitious bands like them with taking them on the road. That being said, I'd absolutely love to see VOLA open up for In Flames. Track is killer! Can't wait for the album.

[@MonosphereBand]

And 3:11 is my new fav VOLA part. That scream fits so well! Daaaamn.

[@gregg5167]

This a dream come true for me of a collab. IN FLAMES WE TRUST!!!!! *Ok I have to add this, This is by far my favorite song of the year, I can't remember the last time one single listen of a song stuck with me so much. Best believe if you guys tour North America again anytime soon I will be there. All I ask is your bring Anders for this song. It absolutely infectious. 🤘🤘🤘

[@heipie4446]

Two of my favorite bands combined, nice.

[@stan0033x]

VOLA is one of the best bands i know of recently. My top 5

[@TiffanyKairos]

This song is nothing short of incredible! It’s the perfect fusion of mellow and heavy, with a sound that just flows seamlessly between the two. The lyrics are captivating, pulling you in with curiosity and unraveling layers of emotion you didn’t even realize were there. It hits hard both musically and emotionally- Immediately added to the playlist! ☄️🔥⚡️

[@lkwalden7]

The bridge is some seriously melodic meshuggah going on. Always have loved your progression of their style.

[@Pedalbored]

Been a fan since 2016 so glad they’re finally getting the attention they deserve

This being the opening track is insanely shocking, starting FOAP in a brutal way! Really digging this track!

Very nice track and synergy. I wish they had increased the pace on at least Anders' part and allowed for him to take even more space on the track. It deserves it.

[@theStanPavlov]

This piece is pure sorcery. The melody will echo in my brain for years to come. My god, what an experience!

[@jpdunphy1]

I met a couple at Arches National Park last year who had VOLA t-shirts on who said they were following them on several American tour stops. There's definitely that kind of vibe to this band, that kind of feeling of dedication, to personal connection that I have also felt, particularly with Witness. Really looking forward to this new album.

[@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime]

Im looking forward to wearing my Vola shirt in Denmark next week! Hoping someone recognizes it

[@Eva_The_Diva]

What a great song! Made me cry and I’m 58!

I've had a hell of a week, but I saw the notification about a new VOLA song so when I hopped into my car for the ride home from work I immediately queued this up. The vocal harmonizing, that beautiful fucking bass tone had me immediately and then Anders hit that scream and I started tearing up. I love this band so god damn much.

[@psychoguitarist619]

The other day, someone was asking me who my favourite bands are. My answers for the past 10 or so years have always been 'Opeth, Riverside, Pineapple Thief, Haken, Karnivool, Leprous... etc.' For the first time, I added VOLA to that list and I can't believe how quickly they've become part of that list. Absolutely LOVE everything they've put out all the while staying true to their unique sound and getting better and better with each release.

[@kolderreviews]

Some cool prog recommendations there. Opeth is incredible, Riverside new stuff still kicks ass. Karnivool never disappoints, Haken doesn't know when to stop releasing bangers, TPT is a new discovery for me with their It Leads To Us album and I liked that and Leprous has one of my all-time favourite Prog Metal albums. Then VOLA, just have stuck as one of my favourite artists to exist

[@Eric998765]

I don't listen to In Flames very often anymore but coincidentally I did listen to Reroute last weekend as well as Anders' side project Passenger which I've always had a soft spot for.

[@Chris-zi6ki]

I’m still in love with that Passenger album, 20 years later haha 🤣

Maaan, what a banger and what a guest! I was starting to think that I’m getting tired of metal altogether, and then I stumbled upon VOLA. They sound so fresh, and technical and melodic at the same time. Now I just have to wait for the next Textures release since they got back together!

Well, there it is The third time this band has reminded me why i love them, and I literally said the same thing, every time: "Holy Shit, my favorite band who just put out a perfect album is making a better one already, and this song is the best thing they've made yet" It happened first when I heard Whaler, and i knew applause was going to be something special. came again when I heard Head Mounted sideways, and Freak. Now Cannibals has me wondering how incredible this album will end up, AND how you keep managing to evolve and improve so much so quickly and release sucha large number of consistently excellent and innovative masterpieces
