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
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
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.
💯 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
Just sat down at work, 9am in Canada, saw this as I opened RUclips for some King's X. Had to pee during the middle of the clip, yet resisted. Excellent song by Vola!
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.
I thought Inmazes was just decent after my first few months, and now after almost two years it’s arguably my favorite album ever 😅 the way it grows is insane
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! ☄️🔥⚡️
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. 🤘🤘🤘
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!!!
I've been trying to hold out until the full album releases to listen to any of these new songs but I couldn't resist when I saw Anders was making an appearance, and im glad I snapped because this is a BANGER 😩🙏
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.
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.
This is an absolute banger, as In Flames fan I must also say that the voice of Anders fits in really well ..one of the best songs I heard all year long. Keep going, also adding VOLA on spotify.
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.
Came for the melodic death legend, Anders Friden 🤘🤘🔥🔥 stayed for a phenomenal song, will definitely check out more Vola! A tour with In Flames in the future would be awesome 👌
I heard this one from an advertisement add on RUclips and was immediately engaged with the music. Dude, this is good. And I have never heard of this band before.
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.
Damn. This felt special on personal level in that In Flames was one of my entry into metal bands and years later playing with one of my top 5 favourite bands currently. Amazing song - one of Vola's best.
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
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!
Thank you Spotify for making me find these gents. When I saw the name Anders in the title I was smiling from ear to ear, as one of my all time favorite singers joined these masters of music. See you in Vienna!!
I love the song! Really powerful. The extra vocals do a great thing to this song and elevate it to new heights. I loved the keyboard melodies and progressive guitar parts as well. VOLA you are awesome
God, the singles are just getting better and better, i know the unreleased tracks are going to become my new favourite VOLA tracks aswell, this is definately my favourite so far
I agree...but I really like the first new single of Linkin Park - Emptiness Machine. Not spamming, just saying. I'm going back to listening this on repeat for 100th time
this year i discovered VOLA and it blew my mind in so many ways i couldn't describe, and all the new songs are so great i cannot wait to listen the full album, and hopefully someday you come here to argentina to experience this on a live show. keep doing what you do and never quit.
I've FINALLY decided to check out your music and the only complaint I have is that I regret for not giving you a proper chance before! Great song and cool guest vocalist as well! 🔥You got yourself a new fan! Reaction video will be up on my channel tomorrow! Keep it up! 🤘
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.
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.
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
criminally underrated band!! they re getting better with every album and 4 tracks released from the new one so far are f"cking great. hope to see them live later this year.
My mate introduced me to your music a couple months ago, been loving it ever since. Reviewing this for my first podcast episode (which I'm doing for a college project)
Syncopated big intervals with a massive major-key chorus. Wow. VOLA doing what they do best, and I'm here for it. Oh, and how cold was it in that warehouse? I mean, Adam's all bundled up...

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
W for everyone!
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
Soooo goooood!!! Thank you!!!
What a dope feature!
In my opinion a massively underrated and undiscovered band. Keep it up bois, amazing as usual!
using bois in 2024 is hella gay
Undiscovered? Cringe.
BIG!
Come to USA please
The legends themselves!
ALLT ARE FANS OF VOLA LETS FUCKING GOOOO!!!!!!!
Music: the original multiverse!
YUGE!
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.
especially if IF did an anny tour of an old album.. jester (almost 30!), whoracle or colony (25 this year)
Totally agreed brother 💯
💯 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.

❤❤❤
Instrumentation of Vola is pretty good, but the vocalist ruins it for me, which is unfortunate. Anders though, is absolutely a GOAT.
America here, 330am, great notification for this middle of the night piss!
5:00 am in Boston and this has got me pumped for the day ahead!
LoL
8pm but drunk as fuck and been listening to inflames for almost 20 years.
Just sat down at work, 9am in Canada, saw this as I opened RUclips for some King's X. Had to pee during the middle of the clip, yet resisted. Excellent song by Vola!
Thank you VOLA, In Flames is my favorite band of all time.
This song has incredible energy.
Same

Never heard of Vola before, but this is indeed very neat! Another band to start digging deeper into. Cheers algorithm.
Enjoy!!
Inmazes was decent.
I thought Inmazes was just decent after my first few months, and now after almost two years it’s arguably my favorite album ever 😅 the way it grows is insane
goddamn you're in for a treat!
@@christophejergales7852It’s their best and it’s not even close
the bass is so damn CRISP
Yeah Nicolai been tearing the bass up this album
i never thought of tuning UP to F#, brilliant
Nicolai is such a great musician, with his own unique tone and sound!
@@simonanthonytrudeau7898so fast and tight that way
This song has everything I love about Vola and I agree the guest vocals were perfect for this song.
Two of my favorite bands combined, nice.
The bridge is some seriously melodic meshuggah going on. Always have loved your progression of their style.
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! ☄️🔥⚡️
3:12 gave me literal whole body chills!
I love y’all so much!!
Also Adam not only has a shirt on but ITS LONG SLEEVED! 🤯
Hahahaha I noticed the shirt too 😂😂
came to comment on the shirt as well haha
it's sick... and i was actually counting to try figure out the song structure but can't find where the bars are not skilled enough I guess haha
@@jaimecomamala1561 lol thats what I was thinking, maybe someone can enlighten us :)
lol!
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.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! From Russia with LOVE!!!
Been a fan since 2016 so glad they’re finally getting the attention they deserve
VOLA is one of the best bands i know of recently. My top 5
WAKE UP HONEY! VOLA JUST DROPPED ANOTHER BANGER
"they can't all be bangers" said a fool who hasn't heard Vola yet
So true...
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!!!
I'm in flames fan and I'm happy I have found you guys. This song is super
This is the best inflames playlist you will ever hear:
ruclips.net/p/PL28dB6rWUEFh0aCCU2oOw0Wbpw3rf6QyT&si=nOSTRnPiC12l4Ors
This piece is pure sorcery. The melody will echo in my brain for years to come. My god, what an experience!
I've been trying to hold out until the full album releases to listen to any of these new songs but I couldn't resist when I saw Anders was making an appearance, and im glad I snapped because this is a BANGER 😩🙏
This being the opening track is insanely shocking, starting FOAP in a brutal way! Really digging this track!
Please dont call it FOAP 😭🤣
@@the_MrFloof especially where it is only 1 letter off from Fear Of A Blank Planet.
this amazing structure music, beautyful ❤
😱 amazing!! ❤ great work guys! 🤘😝🤘 yeaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. great job guys, this was amazing. two of my favorite bands on one track.
Oh god, what a gem! ❤
Anders is great, his scream is beautiful.
Great song guys
Great song guys! Very well done mate.🎉🎉🎉😮❤
Man, these synths sounds are soooo magical! Like it "Soundtrack to Your Escape" era right now and it's happens. Damn, love it.
Amazing!!! Please come for a live in Athens Greece guys!

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.

Im looking forward to wearing my Vola shirt in Denmark next week! Hoping someone recognizes it

And 3:11 is my new fav VOLA part. That scream fits so well! Daaaamn.
Beautiful brutal banger. Love it
Riivata knocking it out of the park with the visuals as well 💜
What a great month, New Nightwish, New Linkin Park, New Delain, New Opeth, New Spiritbox, New Jinjer and now New Vola music.
You forgot new Chaosbay Album. If you don't know them I would highly recommend them to you ;-)
@@misterkanister87 thanks buddy
New Taylor Swift
Not to forget a bit of new Devy
New leprous
This must be one of the best songs I have listened to in the past year. These tone colours mix perfect!
VOLA HITS SO DIFFERENT!
They're pioneering their own thing, and I get to be here for it!
What a great song! Made me cry and I’m 58!
I have been listening to Vola since the very beginning. Big fan indeed!! They are growing and hope it keeps up because there music is different. 🤘🏻😀🤘🏻
This is an absolute banger, as In Flames fan I must also say that the voice of Anders fits in really well ..one of the best songs I heard all year long. Keep going, also adding VOLA on spotify.
Great lighting makes every vid special! Amazing quality vid, and what an amazing SONG!
Great collab ❤️❤️

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.
I already loved both bands, this collab is the best!
Amazing. I'm anxiously awaiting your return to the US!
Excellent band, seen them in my home town of Liverpool 2019this is another great song, looking forward to the new album.
Came for the melodic death legend, Anders Friden 🤘🤘🔥🔥 stayed for a phenomenal song, will definitely check out more Vola! A tour with In Flames in the future would be awesome 👌
I heard this one from an advertisement add on RUclips and was immediately engaged with the music. Dude, this is good. And I have never heard of this band before.
Another banger of a song! Cant wait for the album.
i just cannot get enough... BANGER!!
Incredible guys, thanks for this. I'll be picking up Friend of A Phantom day one
vola is such a unique band, and this new track is really HUGE
You summoned an Anders (holy shit this is GOOD)
😂😂
🤣 anders best

I don’t know how you do it, but every single chorus gives me insane goosebumps. In a good way. Thank you for the music!
This is so amazing, I am lost for words 😢

Guess what will be playing for couple of days on my headphones. Thank you for your music. 😊
yes, same here \m/!

If Anders Fridén featured in my bands song I would be sooo happy.
I'll tell you sincerely, this is the best thing I've seen in 2024!

Awesome stuff once again! 🎸
Vola is my favourite now like InFlames was years before.
We expect to see Anders tour with Vola in the US. Great song guys. Full of details explained the Vola way.
Man, the low chugs and dark ambience right before Anders' voice enters is such an ear candy. His voice sounds so well with this production
ALL I WANT IS A IN FLAMES - VOLA TOUR IN MONTREAL !!! 1H30 SET EACH !!!
Мёд на уши. Браво!!!
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.
I’m still in love with that Passenger album, 20 years later haha 🤣
Gänsehaut. Gruß aus Deutschland 🤘 sehr geile Musik u Text
The great one! This album will be awesome... as always :)

I think this about foreshadowing the ultimate doom, looming so heavy in the air it's as it's being called forth from the very depths of hell.
So happy to hear new music from one of my very favorite bands. Always shocked that more people are not aware of their work. Let's share the magic!
My mate introduced me to your music a couple months ago, been loving it ever since. Reviewing this for my first podcast episode (which I'm doing for a college project)
absolutely love seeing anders go that hard these days man
Awesome collaboration! Anders rules. I love his voices.
You guys never disappoint ♥️
This is a BANGER! 🔥Thx VOLA, can't wait for the new album ❤
The best Progressive metal song of the year. Brilliant.🤘
Banger after banger. Love this band!
what a great piece of music, god bless you and thank you!
I am a long time fan and listener of Vola. This is another great piece of work. I've been watching and listening for the last few days :)
Love it!!!
🤘
These guys always have great synth tones in their music! Hope they tour North America again someday. Anders did great on this one, too!
Volume 200% and I still cant get enough. THIS. IS. METAL.
Both vocals sound great, and having both permanently could be interesting.
Hell ya. And my Anders? MY BABY 🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼
Syncopated big intervals with a massive major-key chorus. Wow. VOLA doing what they do best, and I'm here for it.
Oh, and how cold was it in that warehouse? I mean, Adam's all bundled up...
Haha then you know it had to be freezing
🤣
This band is something special...and this song in particular is amazing! Well done guys! 👏🤘🤘
I like a lot what this band sounds like, great drumming too.
Красиво!
