In this video I react to Vola, "Head Mounted Sideways".
A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I'm Dean Wolfe, a mostly self-taught guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer/performer. I started out as a full time musician on the road at age 17 for two years, but went part-time ever since while holding day careers including as a chef and in spiritual health care while raising a family.
I've recorded hundreds of my own songs- many being used in media and award winning documentaries etc. I've been in several bands including a prog/jazz fusion act nFuze, performing in International Jazz festivals and jazz clubs. I abandoned the prog genre more or less back in the 1990s but have returned to it now with vigour a full 30 years later- so much prog I've ignored and quite frankly didn't have any idea about. My own prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i detoured into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk and acoustic fingerstyle guitar and ambient electric as well).

Ah what a pleasant surprise after a long day at work🙏🏻 Vola has gone under my radar for quite some time, although i did see them supporting Haken together with Bent Knee in Oslo, 2019. As with Leprous I keept seeing praise from fans all over social media, so when they released the new album i really dug in, and now I’m hooked. Looking forward to check out their older stuff as well, but for now the new album is more than enough. So much details, wonderful production and cathcy melodies. Thanks my friend!🥳

Yea, now I need to check out their stuff too! I've heard them mentioned before in the Leprous FB groups

[@Albixdd]

VOLA is very impressive is connecting metal guitars, intreresting signatures and beautiful melodies in choruses. Head Mounted Sideways is one of the most metal songs from their new album Witness, but rest is really good too. Great choice :))

This new VOLA album has been on repeat in my car since it dropped.

Rene.. my Leprous fan bro! Thanks for showing me that I need to try this band out. That was amazing and very artistic!

[@reneskarmyr]

Hey!! Im in love with their new album, it is a grower for sure. Glad you enjoyed it🤘

[@lucasfarias6608]

It only gets better friend, enjoy this amazing band

Cool. I discovered them on KZbin last written weekend, so I've been enjoying some of their music even recently. 4 out of 5 🦈 bites.

Great band and FANTASTIC ALBUM! Gotta get it off Bandcamp 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 nice choice. Reminds me of Pre Historic Animals

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Never heard of them. They did have a somewhat of a Leprous vibe.

[@TheAsphyx666]

Dude, try "Dissipating" by Wheel. They are a phenomenal band, and this is maybe their best song to date. It's long, but there's lots to unpack, loads of changes and interesting chord progressions. WELL worth your (or anyone's) time. ;)

This a wonderful band. The singer has a unique singing voice, but in a good way. They're harsh, but melodic and do have progressive approach to their music and that way not being pop.

[@thecentralscrutinizer5730]

Just sum albums to check out Hanging Garden- Skeleton Lake Amartia - Daylight Beauty Existentia - The Planet in the Universe Melua - Self Titled King Buffalo The Burden of The Restlessness.

I think the time has come Dean, a new exploration of progressive music: Tech Death. Please try out Atheist - Unquestionable Presence It's jazzy, technical, heavy, aggressive, and awesoms
