VOLA announce new album ‘Friend Of A Phantom’

VOLA have announced a new album!

Titled Friend Of A Phantom, the upcoming album from the Danish progressive metal band is the follow-up to 2021’s Witness, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Mascot Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, drummer Adam Janzi shares, “we have had the time to internalise Witness and let its aftermath sink in, which has shaped how we approached Friend Of A Phantom. Our personal tastes have changed, the way we approach our instruments and songwriting has changed, our lives have changed, time has passed, and adventures have been had. Whatever piece of melancholy that Witness had, has just grown and become a central part of this new album. I feel that VOLA has grown and reached a new moment in its life, maturing.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Break My Lying Tongue. The new song is the second song to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Paper Wolf, which was released in August last year.
