VOLA - Paper Wolf (Official Music Video)

[@volaband]

We never put boundaries on our songwriting but merely search for a direction that feels unexplored and exciting to us. With Paper Wolf, we suddenly found ourselves in a territory where an old-school metal atmosphere crept into our blend of sounds. We liked what we heard and then ran with it at full speed. Thanks for listening. See us live in the US: listen.volaband.com/natour23 New Paper Wolf Merch: www.volaband.com/ Listen to 'Paper Wolf' on your service of choice: listen.volaband.com/paperwolf

This is amazing. A few seconds in and I said "hey, this sounds like latest vola. I love it. I miss the early vo- Woah!". This is just damn right. thank you!

[@Ningishzida]

Just do what you do...I'm along for the ride.

[@huntershive]

Speechless sound!

[@morriganmoonglow2712]

It is excellent. 👏

[@djentleman7]

Full speed ahead captain! Can't wait to see you again this Sunday!

[@misterkeys2893]

"They told me to break my floating castles I dream of the day your bones are fossils" Holy. Shit.

[@mackalrath]

I bought a jumper from VOLA during the Applause of a Distant Crowd era, and it came with a hand-written note from Nicolai that reads, "Hi there :) Thank you for supporting our music

[@kenaiinaugust]

This is awesome! From the time I’ve spent with them, they as kind-hearted and genuine as they come. I couldn’t wish there found success upon a better group of guys. Keep making amazing music.

[@LadyBoogScoots]

I got to interact with Adam after a show in Cleveland. Best concert I've ever been to. Didn't expect them to just jump into the crowd and say hi to everyone after the last song. Such cool people.

[@daavidmurphy3562]

I received a note from Nicolai when I ordered a hat during that album cycle. I proceeded to make sure that I saw them live twice in the Netherlands on that tour, all the way from Philadelphia.

[@michaelclark7456]

Man I got one of those too when I bought the Inmazes album and oil painting!

[@djentleman7]

Yea I have one of those I love them for it. Took pictures with them after the show in brooklyn last year. Hoping to get some more this September

[@rositadamiani]

Grazie.

[@botezatugabriel2614]

Came here expecting a VOLA style wall of sound and did not get disappointed

[@stijnstrotmann]

So awesome! Recently upgraded my speakers and meeennnn this band just blows me away!!

[@RobsonROX]

You better watch out, VOLA is coming!

[@Syntropathical11]

Exactly!!

[@Butcher___________83]

Oh man, the bassline, the bassline!

[@cosmicwildfire6821]

I remember chatting with the guys after an amazing gig they did in Milan last September and upon asking Asger when he thought they would release the new album he told me: "hopefully by the end of next year" - ergo 2023. Now I don't care when they'll actually release the record, as long as we get new beautiful music to cherish. Love this band for eternity.

[@_wearetheocean_]

Currently the best band in the so-call modern prog scene, hands down. Now fingers crossed for a new album asap. Witness was (and still is) a milestone.

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Agreed 100%!

[@JDWARHEAD]

Agree

[@CédricVaysse]

Dont forget " Voyager " too 🤘

[@immanueljungheim8512]

Alongside Haken and Riverside mind you. But VOLAs new song surprised me. What a great song. Especially after the new pretty meh SOEN song (Nickelback vibes ... ugh).

[@hrothgarnogar]

Idk man I'd put Aviations and TesseracT up there too.

[@paulwillson3081]

Banger! They keyboards are 10/10 on this.

[@seanmadison6360]

These guys are like wine or whiskey. They are getting better with age. It's refreshing to hear a band that incorporates old sounds and techniques with a completely new sound and style. So many bands these days sound exactly like someone from the past. You know when you hear VOLA. Very original.

[@coquifrog]

Each time I listen it gets better...

[@ivanmaglica264]

That chorus will stick in your ear much much longer than you might first think.

[@Quinceps]

Then it’s pop.

[@michaelclark7456]

It had NO RIGHT being that good. I swear VOLA just doesn't miss!

[@hrothgarnogar]

Why wouldn't it have any right being that good??? What else would you have expected???

[@oddindian1]

It tickles the pickle just so. @@hrothgarnogar

[@coquifrog]

They do not miss...

[@mundatos]

Please!!! Never stop making music. Thanks to what you do, my life is better.

[@drphdmd7064]

I've listened to this probably twenty times since you guys dropped it. I don't know exactly why or how, but on the latest listen, I started tearing up. I've been having a really rough time these days, and there is something innate in this composition that hits me so hard in my feels that I can't even consciously identify what is it. Thank you guys for doing what you do. As a two year in a row top 0.01% listener on Spotify, I don't think it's possible for me to explain how much your music means to me. Sincerely, with all my heart, thank you.

[@coquifrog]

We are with you. Vola strong! Absolutely nothing wrong with allowing your emotions to flow!

[@Deadlad69]

I can't listen to 24 light-years without tearing up. Vola really knows how to write relatable lyrics

[@imshloodoo1]

Okay, but can we just take a moment to appreciate the amazing work that is being done by Martin on this track, because god damn the synth is absolutely beautiful! To no surprise, VOLA drops yet another banger. This will for sure be on repeat for me.

[@foealike4933]

Martin deserves a lot in every single track. I really love this mixture of old Genesis sounds and areas, combined with something you may find in Euro-Pop and even Techno. And he's a great piano-player as well. So he's for sure a lot more than just "the keys and synths". When Nicolai is the glue for all, Martin is the topping 👌

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

I think Nicolai's talent lies in his seemingly magical ability to create an amazing atmosphere that I want to exist in forever and his also seemingly magical ability to highlight the more interesting notes in the vocal melodies.

[@emilioguzmanalvarez420]

we are so back baby hahahaha lets goooooooooooooooooo. So good once again! probably the only metal band i care abt nowadays

[@strangemachines_]

If this is going to be the style of their next album, I’m all in. This is brilliant.

[@JanusJanavas]

0:47 I love how he knocks on the door and it aligns with the music. Amazing artistic touch/choice.

[@Phoenix333Rising]

Ikr! Riivata are so good at synching the visuals to the sounds. I'm always super impressed by that.

[@efournierga]

Yet another great song that makes me wonder why this band isnt bigger than they are. Fantastic tune gents. See you in a few weeks in PPATL

[@emptycloud2774]

They will grow, you watch. From a fan following them for around 5-6 years

[@jutjubow]

The melody is an incredible one here. Can't wait for the new album.

[@cmykristy]

Obsessed with how the song is so malicious in vibe while Asger keeps his pretty voice over it all like a crazed smile. Unsettling. I LOVE it.

[@SoundPeke]

Insane grooves. Make sure pay that drummer well. The low end mix is just dope!

[@WonTomYT]

Me and my Ultra Wide monitor thank you for this!

Complex song structure, lyrics and video with a powerful message without being too pretentious. This is top artistry.

[@mctheta]

YES YES YES!!!

[@lachezaryordanov6874]

I've not been so excited for a discovery of a band in a while. I just love your music as it touches the depths of my soul. Wish I had known you long time ago. Greetings from Bulgaria. Hope you have a gig in BG some time in the future.

[@lizamisora]

love this song so much~!!! gives me alien shivers!

[@Molitoth]

I hadn't seen it announced yet, but this looks promising that Jacob Hansen is going to keep working with Vola.... which is amazing. What a combo!

[@FunkmetalRulez]

Thanks!

[@artoexplores]

It took 1 second of watching this video to realise that it was shot by riivata visuals - the dudes from Atlas/HLB are criminally underrated.

[@kubacube342]

awesome again!

[@xxmigs41xx]

that bridge is transcendental

[@Quinceps]

You like it because it’s pop.

[@BartHennephof]

Awesome stuff!! Great vibes & grooves, love it 🔥🔥

[@murdoc80]

Amazing as always, thank you!

[@koldbite2158]

Nicolai's growl/screams behind Asger's harmonic vocals never gets old! This track is brilliant and I'm so pumped for the new album

[@volaband]

The screams are actually recorded by Asger. We’re glad you like the song! Thanks for the awesome feedback 🥳

[@koldbite2158]

@volaband it is? My bad haha! Paper Wolf is an earworm that can't stop jamming to, can't wait for the next single! 🤘

[@CrazyKoenie]

This is the future of music. Came here for the swooping chorus, was not disappointed ❤

[@Tenkanmusic]

The riffs, the harmonies, the arrangements... This is a freaking good song! 🤌🌟

[@d36williams]

that's dope, a cool vibe, classic rock and 21st century at the same time, a bit of mastadon a bit of synthwave

[@macbeable]

You better watch out, the bass is comming

[@andrewhanson3274]

Keep it up VOLA! Delivering those masterpieces as expected. Nailed it you guys. Wow, Bravo! 🔥🔥🔥 Come play West Coast USA!

[@lburgess1000]

Don’t know where you are on west coast but they’ll be playing! Can’t explain how excited I am to see them ✌️

[@andrewhanson3274]

@@lburgess1000 Thank you, I didn't realize they were! I'll be at one of the CA shows 🤙

[@Crusader1099]

this song gives me a mixture of vibes between the album Aplause of a distance crowd and the last chorus of this song as taken from the EP: Monsters. 🤘

[@crunch805]

This band deserves sooooo much more attention and recognition!!!

[@aod_music]

I search Vola daily for new music...i need it to make it through 2024. C'mon guys we need more of your awesomeness.

[@machmslf]

Its almost here

[@aod_music]

@machmslf how are you privy such to this info? You must divulge what's known I'm intrigued

[@LeatherDaddy97]

that was one of the coolest funkiest breakdowns ive heard, it was awesome. One of my favorites ive heard in a while although thats not really a rare occurrence with vola.

[@NickTaylor-df6by]

Brilliant, unique sounding band, can’t wait.

[@drvvw]

ohhhhww dude!! this riff is so brutal and delicious. I'm waiting for the band to visit Brazil

[@husk27-27]

i like that the werewolf gets revenge for her

[@ZelElz]

This is so darn good song. Drums, harmonies, all just a mellow blend of emotions. Love it.

[@FaiTCRaH]

my wife invited me to see you for my birthday last year... a fucking amazing concert... and now, we are looking forward to see you again on cl.prog on Chile... what a fucking good band!

[@claudiolagos4124]

Que increible show que dieron en Chile!

[@getsugar6411]

What a wall of sound, wow. So excited to hear more after Witness.

[@InquiringMindsWant2know-vk5rd]

Great concert in Orlando !! Come back !!! Tampa Bay needs you !!!

[@uweklein2181]

Ihr macht so geile Musik. Ich bekomm nicht genug davon. Prost aus Deutschland 🤘

[@rockreleases]

Cool & fresh, for a new generation of Prog fans. 🤘

[@Meshuggehro]

Gracias por otra gran cancion. Espero sigan por ese camino, esa formula es la correcta. Un saludo desde Argentina.

[@JanneAirDotCom]

Saw ad on KZbin. Had to come to see the whole video as in the ad where the man drops to his rear end in the hallway is a spitting image of myself!! OG doppelganger! As a byproduct learned to like the song!! Win-win.

[@DMTriip]

Good job guys, I really like it and I hope so much more from all of you, Greetings from Colombia 🎼🎸

[@TheMrdarkflame]

Getting some Haken vibes from 3:16, great job lads!

[@coreymcpherson3382]

We need to do our jobs as fans and spread the word about this band!! They deserve so much more recognition!!!

[@DEM94]

VOLA never disappoints!! Can't wait for the new album!

[@Phymatic]

VOLA! Haven't heard these guys in a minute. God damn.

[@wolvetica]

Heres to headbanging to vola every year from here

[@simonswierszcz8399]

Keep it up boys

[@jericosha2842]

Heck yeah. This so good

[@JoeNation1994]

I hope The Ocean rolls through Baltimore, Maryland again! It was criminally bad how low the attendance was at Baltimore Soundstage 02/07/2024. It all changed when The Ocean came on and they played this as one of their two encores. Probably the best concert I’ve attended next to An Evening with Haken 02/28/2024

[@darkrufio]

Wow... After Witness, I didn't think it could get better... Guess I was wrong ! Can't wait for the new album !

[@dougcronkhite2113]

Can't wait for this album to drop!

[@HeavyMetalCoasters]

That chorus is so addicting. This is going to be stuck in my head for a while.

[@mateuszrogolski2804]

totally addicted song, thanks VOLA

[@GoatMee]

Quality! Big love from Slovenia. On a side note, you guys should run for Eurovision song contest. Metal and overall good music has to take over, Voyager this year killed it.

[@danielh299]

The voice of an angel and the guitar badass - thats what i like! VOLA in #1 place

[@Andy_Rose90]

Incredible song. VOLA never disappoints.

[@delangizpourtabarestani]

Never have i ever read the lyrics of a song to see that it had matched words in my head that I wanted to personally express but never found the right words or image or description to do so but I’m so happy that this song fully captures my every feeling that I can’t express in communication.

[@michaelbernards6683]

What a great band! Didn´t know about them until now. So now I have to leave youtube for today, and listen all through their albums!

[@huha123]

Yay!!!! New VOLA!!! Made my month!!! What a fantastic song!

[@marjaybass7]

Vola 🙏❤

[@kevinhardman1489]

Awesome!🤘💯

[@DennisRadaelli]

Great track! Those keychanges throughout really add a lot of depth. 🙂
