    Ever since I heard Inmazes I've been in love with this band. I've been in a bit of a musical slump for so long, not sure where I had to turn to after hearing Animals as Leaders, The Contortionist, Between the Buried and Me, Native Construct and many more. VOLA has completely caught me off guard and it's been my favorite listen of 2018, can't wait to hear the album guys!

They only had like 250 listeners on Spotify, and I remember telling myself that this group WILL be huge one day. They have come a long way since then, and this doesn't disappoint.

    I just love how tis band can go from beautiful soft and poppy tracks like Ghosts and vertigo into something so heavy yet melodic like this song and Whaler.

      I know this is unpopular but I would say VOLA is even better than Meshuggah because Meshuggah is missing out on the happy/pop/melodic elements that VOLA adds. I would listen to VOLA over Meshuggah, but Meshuggah is still great.

    So guys, i'm from Brazil and i "discover" this awesome band on the last week... And i'm fall in love for your music. Everything is just awesome: the vocal melodies, the bass lines, the drum grooves, the keyboard arrangements, the guitar riffs, the Contemporary lyric themes... Each piece of each song fits perfectly in its proper places and provokes sensations that are difficult to describe. I hope that when things get back to normal with all that shit from COVID-19, you can go on a tour here in South America.
    Anyway, I wish you success and that Witness is as killer as AFDC.
    Brazilian hugs.

    "Smartfriend" and "Head Mounted Sideways" should totally start a story based on this body-horror/sci-fi themed vibe. Head Mounted Sideways' music video makes me think of an evolution to this science-gone-wrong experiment in where he as developed a new way to create a less chaotic female (anima.) PLEASE ASK YOUR PRODUCERS TO MAKE A TRILOGY STATEMENT TO THIS BEAUTIFUL ART DIRECTION!!!! its so good and reminds me much of Stanley Kubrick and other crazy sci-fi horror movies!
