“Friend Of A Phantom” was released last November via Mascot Records.

Prior to the LP’s arrival, the quartet shared several singles, including “Paper Wolf”, “Break My Lying Tongue”, “I Don’t Know How We Got Here” and “Cannibal”, featuring IN FLAMES vocalist Anders Fridén.

Earlier this year, VOLA supported INTERVALS on the “Memory Palace Tour 2025”.

It had been three years since the release of VOLA‘s defining album “Witness”. It was a sonic assault that captured their signature blend of thoughtful labyrinthine narratives with crushing riffs and experimental sophistication. Heavy/quiet and dark/light were combined with elements of tech-metal, progressive alt-rock, electronica, and stadium-sized choruses.

They’ve since wrapped up three tours of the U.S., with several venues upgraded due to overwhelming demand, as well as sold-out shows in New York, Chicago and the iconic Troubadour in Los Angeles, where the band struck up a friendship with Fridén. Their first tour of Canada resulted in sold-out shows in Toronto and Montreal, and they rounded off the continent with triumphant South American shows in Mexico, Brazil, and a sold-out show in Chile.

The Danish-Swedish quartet — Asger Mygind (vocals/guitar),Martin Werner (keys),Nicolai Mogensen (bass) and Adam Janzi (drums) — has been one of Europe’s most exciting metal bands in recent years, catapulting them on to the international stage. They’ve become a formidable live draw that has seen them also tour with Devin Townsend, including playing the Royal Albert Hall in London. They’ve also opened for EVANESCENCE and played festivals such as ArcTanGent (U.K.),Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium),Tuska (Finland),Roskilde (Denmark),Copenhell (Denmark),CL Prog (Chile) and more.

VOLA‘s strength has always been combining a multitude of ideas within a single song, packing it in with a grandiose power that can be as ferocious as it can be delicate.

Known for their innovative approach to progressive metal, VOLA continues to captivate audiences with their blend of intense rhythmic complexity and poignant lyrical narratives. With this perpetual evolution, the pressure doesn’t consume them. “There is always the pressure of continuing to climb the mountain,” reflects Janzi. “Embracing change and whatever new chapters may wait around the corner is a way to make life more enjoyable.”
