'Live From The Pool' was filmed at the swimming pool of the abandoned Auderød military camp in North Zealand near Copenhagen, Denmark. Designed by world-famous architect Henning Larsen this defunct swimming pool building has become part of the nature park Auderød. A place where nature encounters the mysteries of a once existing military base, ready to be explored.
For the lighting & scenography of this remarkable setting, VOLA worked with the visionary Danish audiovisual artist collective Vertigo, where light, nature, music & concrete meet!

These Black Claws Lyrics
I’ve been approaching the surface for a year.
I’ve seen emotions derail and disappear.
Go feed the colorful snakes outside, she said to me.
Go break your colorful bones in a fight, she begged of me.
We are returning to the ominous.
We are a lost cause.
We are committing to the dominance
of these black claws.
I try to smile when I get bad news.
Figure if there is any good left, I'll get that too.
The blood is red but the veins are blue.
And my bones are every color on the spectrum between the two.
I squeeze through the cells that we've been locked in.
Kinda high from the loss of the oxygen.
Headrush, flushed, dropping dead weight.
My canine scrapes the last crumbs off my bread plate.
Just head straight.
No maps or no atlas.
No matter how the road curves don't end up backwards.
Black birds circle brown dirt for the big worms.
My bad dream catcher hangs high as it twist turns.
Cities burn a bad smoke.
It makes my eyes itch.
But front row seats to apocalypse are priceless.
Life is hanging here in these black claws.
Staring at a white sky full of black stars.
One straw in the drain.
One word that you failed to sustain.
Someone stranded empty handed.

At 3:15....I cannot imagine how you'd play that guitar riff AND sing at the same time. That would require two brains for me, haha. Amazing performance!

[@GorillaNipples87]

Damn, you aren't kidding.

[@mayonice3577]

The riff permutates and never lands on the same spot. The line he's repeating fits in even bars, but it always starts one beat later. Really hard to keep up!

[@jenniferwalsh4725]

I don't always listen to Vola, ❤ every day, but when I do, so do the neighbors.❤

[@GlassBoxofDeath]

Asger's ability to sing and play those insane riffs is unmatched. This band is seriously underrated. Absolute units of musical skill.

[@tiagoquirino2214]

I'm glad to see Theon Greyjoy got his life together and learned to play the bass

[@mihailstoyanov3606]

It would be amazing if you could do one of these with the Shahmen actually there

[@jweezy15able]

Imagine they get Shahmen to do his verse for the US Tour. Still the most wild aong on the album.

[@errindel]

Won't lie, we're probably going to fly from the States to see you and Voyager, a gig that would be awesome to see!

[@HaMpEism]

Saw them here in Stockholm a week ago. Let me tell you that these guys don't fuck around. They are one of the best sounding bands that I've ever seen live, no kidding.

[@mariagheata2133]

You don't know me but I promise and guarantee you that it will be absolutely worth your effort.

[@nickpollard9998]

I've seen Voyager a few times here in Australia and there's not a note out of place. Insane performers! Never seen Vola but they're definitely in my top 3 list of "must see" bands.

[@shanestrains4724]

Ordered the double LP, I seriously can't wait until tomorrow when the digital release is finally made available. I've been dying to listen to it ever since I watched the livestream.

[@UndeadSasuke34]

This song has my favorite breakdown ever in metal music. Whenever I listen to it I get goosebumps and my brain goes into full fight or flight mode, it's that powerful.

[@mariagheata2133]

This band is my faith, their music is the most relatable thing I've came to know in my life. I owe them everything.

[@jenniferwalsh4725]

They are fantastic and you have this.

[@Stratocoaster08]

These guys probably single-handedly pulled me out of the lowest point in my life...I don't know how I would've done it without them

[@danielerosetti1049]

Che band fantastica ♥️

[@ryansmith9920]

Everything about this show is insanely good! You guys sound excellent, lights are dope and doing this in the pool looks so fucking cool! Doing this kind of stuff as a small band is NOT cheap so you guys have done great work. Keep this shit up! Much love from Vancouver, Canada🤘🏻

[@rot_studios]

Oh damn that low growl at 3:31 was great. Always had an hunch he could pull off low death growl really well, would love to hear that more as it's a great contrast to his clean vocals :D Great performance!

[@cauacobuci]

I loved that also!! Great touch, would love to hear more of that sprinkled on their songs.

[@jenniferwalsh4725]

No doubt.

[@wesleykennedyy]

I hope to see you here in Brazil :)

ρɾσɱσʂɱ

[@yuritarelko9916]

An acquired taste...

[@swedesarewhite5984]

Great song but not the talking.

[@dertruppenfuhrerdesletzten1020]

U mean Shahmen? He is the best part about this Song

[@Grecki_Bog_Domestos]

This song sounds as if you wanted to put something new but didn't really know what. Rap part is ok but it sound completely out of context with the rest of the song. Love you guys but not at this one.

[@somberlight]

i dont mind myself. i mean, i hear intended juxtaposition on how leftfield the transition to the hipetyhopety bit was. i see it as a part of the musical narrative. thats fine. i mean; to me, its not progressive if i know whats coming up. i didnt.

[@dertruppenfuhrerdesletzten1020]

This Part is the only thing making this great

[@smokejc]

So good.
