VOLA - Your Mind Is A Helpless Dreamer (live session in Copenhagen)

[@tarkenton3895]

I've said it so many times, but this band is (to me) the perfect culmination of the prog rock and pop sensibilities that I grew up listening to and the extreme metal sound I've grown to love by myself. Truly unique stuff.

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Yep! They're most unique band in existence! No other band can satisfy me when I need to hear some Vola. The combination of what works from the past and what works now comes together into the perfect package in Vola.

[@mahockey3]

My god that guitar tone, the breakdown, and the keys solo all go sooooo hard.

[@jmsilva81]

2023 here and that breakdown @3:19

[@djkeown1]

Saw this bassist on tour with Agent Fresco and he’s still out here looking like Theon Greyjoy

[@TylerM589]

Naw that’s the fucker that killed John wicks dog

[@brandonknight4945]

Man, he looks so much like Theon I had to look it up to make sure it wasn't him.

[@jamescarter6468]

Dammit lol now that you’ve said it, I can’t unsee it! Lol nice call

[@roberthughes286]

Im glad Im not the only one who thinks this lol.

[@raaustin777]

Dear lord how tight is that hat to stay on his head through all that??

[@Matt-lq7gd]

One of my most favorite intro ever. The switch ups are so fuckin nasty these guys are insane

[@rishabhsinghsolanki8375]

Theon Greyjoy is a really great musician!

[@DogOfEgypt]

I just can't get over the genuine smiles on Asger and Nicolai's faces in that intro. 100% deserved, this song is an absolute jam. And the ability of everyone present in the video is fearsome!

[@anomolousmaterials4459]

You guys fill the spot in my heart that was empty when Porcupine Tree went on permanent hiatus.

[@nitinbhagatanimator]

plz don't compare them PT

[@CyclopticAether]

he never once compared Vola to porcupine tree, all he said is that Vola fill the gap Porcupine Tree left when they went on a hiatus haha, nothing wrong with having respect for what both bands do, they are both incredibly talented 🤘

[@karmentolable]

Also since Oceansize split up 😂😭

[@DogTree2024]

@@karmentolable loved Oceansize, never really got into the projects they have done since. VOLA, Leprous and Opeth take up most of my ear time these days.

[@karmentolable]

@@DogTree2024 nice

[@tobiass2568]

Inmazes is now on my Top 5 List of Best albums of all time. Seriously guys, your music is pure magic and I don't think i'll ever grow tired of it. The melodic parts is so fckn beautiful and also the djent aspect of it. Fckn superb job guys, wow!

[@amjan]

It is a hallmark of modern prog music, definitely.

[@roberthughes286]

This band needs to be so much bigger. 3 full albums and still not getting enough recognition. We need to be hitting reaction channels and tell people to check em out.

[@chriscarter8593]

As if this wasn't incredible enough, they got better.

[@inertiaalive7360]

3 years later, and I'm still jamming this every single day. Ughhhh, I love you guys so much

[@beatnpotatoes]

This is so amazing. No other band sounds like VOLA. Incredible performance. I bought both the albums as soon as I saw this video. Fantastic guys.

[@michaelruffo86]

1:30 wtf? Phantom snare

[@garytackett8426]

That snare..*wipes sweat off brow*

[@downnola6]

Gary Tackett I know, right !!?? Drilling it. I love that sound. The way It carries as opposed to one smaller, tighter head, and poppy sounding. Which is good for some applications yet though.

[@ajb-drums]

@@downnola6 He's also rim shotting the hell out of that thing \m/

[@michaelruffo86]

The snare took a break @1:30

[@Syphon_Drummer]

@@michaelruffo86haha I’ve always noticed that with this video. They edited it a little bit, and the snare probably has a sample on it. No biggie, but musicians will catch those things. 😊

[@ajb-drums]

the tone of his voice is wonderful

[@rdelainey6383]

How does this only have 23k views? The musicianship alone should get these guys into the millions. Come to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan please where people enjoy great music!

We've been around for so long We've started dreaming of the past We'll find the gleam in our eyes And close our lids to make it last Now don't you try to stop me I'm not content in my role These walls of dirt are pending Pushing my need of control These moments are keeping your mind away And keeping injustice now These moments are leading your head astray And keeping injustice now We've sung these songs for so long You've seen us scream behind the mold We've dug the perfect treasures But never seen the modern gold These moments are keeping your mind away And keeping injustice now These moments are leading your head astray And keeping injustice now You did your time, don't you know? You don't have to conquer mentality once more You did your time, you should know Freedom of thought isn't worth fighting for These moments are keeping your mind away And keeping injustice now These moments are leading your head astray And keeping injustice now

[@Dovahthecreator]

One of my favorite bands ever

[@Ashes2Ashes_Blush2Blush]

So much talent I can't help but LAUGH at the audacity of how fucking good their music is and how much it makes sense. I have tears in my eyes because it's so beautiful. AND HE CAN SING AND PLAY AT THE SAME TIMEEEEEEE.. *on the bus right now going home...at 11:55pm...probably look crazy but meh it will ward off the weirdos* WAAHHH EVERYONE IS SO TALENTED.

[@nitinbhagatanimator]

they deserve Grammy for this compilation.

[@adsensedd]

I miss this drummer, he has much more energy.

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Adam is a perpetual motion machine. Both are rare talents to such a degree that I am amazed that Vola has had two Drummers of such a talent level, it's difficult enough to find one!

[@giloulapine479]

Maybe but I find their newest drummer way more interesting in his complex chops and giving a more refined sound to their tunes. Their old drummer was more into "raw energy".

[@carlmanu]

Old drummer was raw emotion. New drummer is flowing emotion.

[@Marius_ae]

Do not sleep on Adam, hopefully you have heard the last two albums by now :)

[@KTMTRK]

3:22 NOOOOOOOOUUU!!!

[@ElUniversoUnaEstrell]

A perfect song! Cheers from Argentina!

[@OleksandrProkhorovskyi]

i say what. ONE OF THE BEST BAND FOR LAST YEARS. Great Work. Besides, this vocals reminds me Emerson, lake & palmer.

I would rather take 23 925 legit fans over millions of followers, the masses never made anything of interest, it's up to smaller communities that change something. Love Vola. Cheers!

Just found these guys a few days ago with Applause of a Distanc Crowd and INsTANTLY fell in love. Very Pain of Salvation-y at certain points on the new album. Having trouble getting into their first album, but I'm trying.

[@paulleith1190]

This song is SOOOO good ! I was listening to it while roaming about the Italian Dolomites this week with my camera. Fantastic stuff guys. Looking forward to seeing you in Ireland this Nov 7th ! :-)

[@marlindoomburger]

This is fucking fantastic! This songs such a banger!

[@AURISmediaGROUP]

The concert in Poland was brilliant!!! You are my discovery of the year!

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Lucky! I live in the USA, so I've not had the opportunity to see them live. I'm going to have to fly to Europe to see them. I promote the shit out of them so that they can hopefully do a world tour. The world needs this music.

[@tomyboumboum9822]

I absolutely love your music but what happened at 1'30. We can hear the snare but the drummers does not hit it...

[@volaband]

Hi Tomy! Well spotted:) We only had two cameras for the session if I remember correctly, so what we did was playing the song 3-4 times, and then choosing the best take for the audio, but using the footage from all takes so we could have more angles to show. In this case of 1'30 I guess the footage was from one of the takes we didn't use (possible because our drummer didn't play that snare hit hehe). Hope this makes sense:) All the best, Nicolai, VOLA.
