VOLA live | Rockpalast | 2021

[@volaband]

We had such a great time with you playing our first show outside of Denmark since end of 2019! Thank you for the experience WDR Rockpalast, Harmonie Bonn & everyone involved that made this possible.

[@northtimo666]

Do you guys have a dual guitar rig preset for guitars in the Helix or how do you get such thick tone for guitars live too?

[@murdocslink65]

Do "Future Bird" next time PLEASE !!

[@MissionFreiheit]

First time I ever came across you guys. Just amazed by that type of musical craftsmanship and precision. You guys are amazing 👏

[@sandequation2653]

Would love a chance to see you, please come to the USA sometime!

[@volaband]

@@sandequation2653 We're working on it!

[@michaelbernards6683]

As a fan of Anathema, Opeth, Porcupine Tree & Steven Wilson and Crippled Black Phoenix I wonder, why it took so long to discover VOLA. Another pearl for my collection of great bands!

[@DenisisTimeless]

What a great, great, great fucking band. What blows my mind, is how Asger and Nicolai are able to sing over the technical riffs they play. Absolute insanity.

[@MissionFreiheit]

Yep that's indeed very impressive!!

[@eschaton]

After playing bass for 25 years. I can still barely play and chew gum at the same time. What these guys can do is dumbfounding to me.

[@wolvetica]

And its not even their first language. thats the best bit

[@BK-pd1sq]

And not just sing, sing. They fkin SING. I honestly didn't expect them to be THAT good live, their music doesn't even sound like it would work live but it totally does!

[@JS-jo3wj]

​@@wolvetica I've always found their lyrics impressive for that reason. They really are like poems and art on their own. The word choices and articulation is amazing given that English is their second language

[@Chroncher]

I love that Lucius Malfoy decided to join a metal band and channel all his conflicting emotions into something beautiful.

[@maurobilotti]

What a beast is Adam! Increidible drummer!

[@ListentoFairToMidlandNow]

Props to the sound guy as well. This is a KILLER track list

[@angelolima4811]

I don't think the sound guy picks the track list the band does actually I know

I just look at this crowed and think, my people!! Lol they appreciate VOLA and they appreciate good music. Here in 2021, coming closer to 2022, I think us VOLA fans should be named The Distant Crowds. Who's with me? Lol

[@vivianetoledovts]

I totally agree. Even more so if you live in a country like mine. 😬😬😅😅

Does that make me the applause of a distant crowd?

[@OrganicaShadows]

Another distant crowd joined in!

[@tonyvice6661616]

Such a full, well mixed wall of sound, with just 4 performers.... This is just incredible!

[@AndrewScott1337]

that synth player is such a force multiplier, dude is like a classically trained Frank Delgado from Deftones.

[@1banez]

Well there is backing tracks too.

[@luisricardosorianozarceno2712]

It blows my mind how they achieve such a "clean" sound while keeping it full and big. The keyboardist is definetly a key piece of their "larger than life" sound.

[@Nahtan.9758]

​@@1banez like when, I must have missed it

[@1banez]

@@Nahtan.9758 Since always. There's guitar leads and extra synths for sure.

[@rositadamiani]

VOLA is the emerging band that I like the most of all. I love the sounds they create...progressive metal + electronic music and progressive rock in their hands blend into something WONDERFUL for me. The texts that I have to translate are also beautiful but they are worth it because they are meaningful and not trivial. I hope to continue like this 🙏

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

Totally agree, i feel Nice touch of pop in some of their songs that blends really well too :)

Yeah if someone enjoys a mix of genres this band hits a lot of the things you look for in different kinds of music at once.

[@rositadamiani]

@@ToveriJuri 🤗👌

[@AndrewScott1337]

I think they are one of the best bands in the prog scene right now. They mix the heavy stuff with pretty/synthy stuff so well and always make sure to have a well-written son that isn't just a wank fest. I agree too about the lyrics, he's a really solid writer.

[@shawnhuk]

Props to the sound engineer and editor - nailed the audio. Sounds amazing.

[@9rincewind9]

I don't know what it is with "Inside Your Fur" but it gets to me every time! I'm not a big cryer, but that song man... Pppfff... I'm not crying, you're crying!

[@joristimmermans5058]

"You weren't here for long, I guess my presence was a failure" can be interpreted many ways, but as a parent it triggers something feral.

[@MJ-vd8bj]

Singing and playing sick polyrhythmic riffs at the same time damn

[@ryankern7943]

Could NOT have chosen a better song to end the set with. Perfect. Amazing band

[@austinresing]

24 light years has to be such a challenging song with that timing structure and harmonizing in the vocals

[@jasonryan6675]

LOVE the new spin on "OWLS". Adam is underrated! Just like Asgars vocals, it took awhile for him to grow on me now he's one of my favorite drummers. Love these guys.

[@philhyde983]

This is one of my favorite songs. Great energy on this one!

[@samproctor8421]

Adam is incredible

[@endlrls]

The drummer and Bass Player are amazing..... such a tight sync with one another.

[@enriquequiroga2824]

FUCKING YES! This is what I call a hell out of a concert. Just started listening VOLA and omg, what a band!

Oh my god, Owls live is so sick! Almost cried, no joke... Love from Italy!

[@TeeMcbee1]

Owls makes me weep every time. Makes me feel so much

[@6hypnone]

You guys deserve a huge, well choreographed!/programmed all out colorful light show! For me, that really adds to the mood of the songs.

[@izzir1910]

A band that should be in the pantheon of rock music. And let no one even try to play with that truth.

[@yurauu336]

Обожнюю цю групу!! Ви, супер!!!

[@peejay1961]

Just witnessed this SUPERB band for the first time at Manchester Club Academy, 25/11/24, such a small, intimate venue and they totally blew me away (as well as blowing the bloody roof off!). OMG what an amazing band, can't wait for the next time!

[@jacklandon9739]

I TOTALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!!! They remind me of Dredg 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 So artistic and amazing loving it

[@jasonbrackin5565]

Vocally for sure. Very similar.

[@Sifu_Wong]

🐧 in the desert?

[@becauseiwasinverted743]

They are the new Opeth. Not in a bad sense, In the sense that Opeth once was a band that was standing out. Vola brings what I love most in metal music, blending violence with beauty, energy from the most dark and beautiful facets of the human being, transcending the genres to create a unique style they proudly own. I've seen them live and it was my best live gig since Meshuggah

[@kkkkk79]

Vola are really talented and i love them but opeth Is something that Will remain unmatched forever

[@becauseiwasinverted743]

@@kkkkk79 true. Think I must have been drank when writing this crap 😅 Opeth rocks and I always come back to my favourite albums

[@andreaslechner-riedl]

Opeth is still standing out - especially since Heritage... Vola is something totally different for me - can't compare these two bands 😄

[@mareksedlak20]

True

[@andrewmaynard5198]

If anything, I think VOLA goes well alongside Four Stroke Baron - an equally fascinating prog band, and maybe a dose of Gojira! 😊🤘

[@chrismccoy7291]

I wish I could have seen this in person. You guys are perfect.

[@yashgadwal3551]

Inmazes will always be my favorite album out of them all. Thank you, Vola, for the music. You guys are incredible.

[@gabrielblacklock3921]

Yeah if they played every song from Inmazes at a live concert (plus Ghosts, Straight Lines, 24 Light Years, and Stone Leaders) that would be my ideal setlist. :P

[@videoformeandyou]

My favorite band at the moment. Love their music... 👏🏻 Hope to see them soon on stage.

[@FPontiDev]

I had the fortune of see them in 2018 in Seville. I don't knew nothing about they but when i heard their music I know that they will become a very important band. Thanks for your music!

[@INNERSKIN]

I was there, what a great show !!

[@shawnhuk]

I only recently discovered these guys (Ontario Canada), and with so much electronic and production sounds you wonder if they can pull it off live -- yes, yes they can. In incredible fashion. Love it

[@rafaelsemedo119]

This is pure gold. Thank you for sharing this awesome performance!

Primera vez que veo este show...y pude notar lo mismo...gran observacion amigo.

[@samproctor8421]

The most immersive live recording I've seen. This band deserves so much more recognition

[@AutumnEraband]

Absolutly incredible band. Every single one of those guys are talented in their own way but collectively they are incredible. The sound as well is flawless. Not many bands out there that osund like their mastered album. You can tell these guys live and breathe music and put all their time and effforts into their performances. Can't wait for them to tour the UK, they never toured with Starset another of my favourite bands, saw them last night at Nottingham Rock city.. But I hope they tour with starset here in the future. See you soon VOLA!

[@AmineNacef1100]

Man, this band is amazing on so many ways. I love you more than ever, VOLA!

[@andreheinrich7443]

The pitch change on 17:35 in straight lines completely breaks my brain ... tearinducingly outrageously good ....

[@antonioravina]

amazing band, I jut discovered Vola. hope they are still active cause I love their latest albums and this live recording is great!
