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]

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

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!

[@иваниванов-у6с4ъ]

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! From Russia with LOVE!!!

[@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.

[@toto992.]

I'm in flames fan and I'm happy I have found you guys. This song is super

[@erikhansdotter2983]

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.

[@mokuscsik]

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

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

[@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. 🤘🤘🤘

[@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! ☄️🔥⚡️

[@andrehofsink4848]

This must be one of the best songs I have listened to in the past year. These tone colours mix perfect!

[@lkwalden7]

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

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

BEST ONE YET!!!!! Still loving that breakdown at the end of Break my lying tongue too. Need more heavy guys! You guys do everything so well. From melodic to heavy to the mix of both. Bravo bravo bravo!!!

[@theStanPavlov]

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

[@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.

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

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

[@BJuj-s3t]

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

[@stan0033x]

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.

[@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 🤣

BTW, Anders' scream at 3:11 is how we should all feel about the state of the world right now.

[@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

[@TheKryptodro]

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.

[@bakklajohn]

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!

[@Transmissional]

I started working at this doggy daycare 8 years ago, worse mistake I ever made. It ended up being the downfall of my hearing...one boss to the next constantly put me into shitty situations and I ended up losing most of my hearing from a broken walkie talkie...4 years since that incident and my hearing or whats remaining of it is just getting worse and worse. But my god I remember how my hearing was before I worked there...I remember just how goddamn clear and loud and full music and vocals were. I would do anything to go back to those days. Just even some out of body experience where I could beat the shit out of my younger self and take the risk quitting...i would have have rather moved back in with family, moved to a small town, been homeless than be deaf as I am now. I miss music so much. What I can hear though sounds great! i kinda wanna compare to scar symmetry but the reality is over the years I have listened to so so so much and Ive forgotten all the underground greats.

Oh f*ck, man. How could you do something like this to me, guys? I'm here in Brazil, dying to see your band perform, but the distances don't allow it, and now you guys show up with a big banger to make me even crazier about your sound. Nothing short of phenomenal, and I feel an evolution in your sound since "Appaluse of a Distant Crowd", because the music has become heavier, more melodic and very catchy... and your music has been hammering away for days and days here in my mind. Now, I'll certainly have "Cannibal" buzzing in my head until November 1st =DDDDDD. Guys, please come and do a show in Recife-PE. Here we have the most metal capital in the Northeast of Brazil.
