VOLA announce new live album ‘Live From The Pool’

VOLA have announced a new live album!

Titled Live From The Pool, the upcoming album from the Danish progressive metal band is their debut live release and captures their Live From The Pool livestream, which aired in September last year. The live album is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Mascot Records.

Speaking about the show, bassist Nicolai Mogensen says, “the idea for Live From The Pool was conceived at a time where it was particularly hard to be a band with an international fanbase. Due to the COVID-19-pandemic making live shows and touring practically impossible, we were forced to think carefully and creatively about how to reach our listeners in new ways. We wanted to do something spectacular that didn’t seem like a compromise – and with loads of help from talented people, we think we succeeded in creating an online concert experience out of the ordinary.”

Live From The Pool is the biggest production we have ever made as a band, and it was very exciting for us to work with such an extensive set-up. We filmed the entire concert, featuring both new and old material, at an abandoned indoor swimming pool with five cameras and a drone, the scenery lit up by a beautiful light installation, custom-made for this show by the Danish audio-visual artist collective Vertigo.”

Alongside the announcement of the new live album, the band have released a new live clip from the upcoming live album; for the track Straight Lines.
