VOLA release new music video for ‘Head Mounted Sideways’

VOLA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Head Mounted Sideways, is the brand new song from the Danish progressive metal band and is their first new music since 2018’s Applause Of A Distant Crowd.

“The ‘head-mounted sideways’ is a metaphor for ‘looking the other way,’” says vocalist/guitarist Asger Mygind of the new song. “I did not have any plan with the lyrics, but once I knew that they should convey anger, It was intuitive to talk about the decline of civilizations and not taking responsibility for the obvious decline. It doesn’t necessarily speak about Earth in 2020. What I felt was important to get across was the image of a world built on flawed morals, and how this world eventually crumbles and falls due to the cracks in the foundation.”

Songs for the new album were written shortly after they returned from their 2019 headline tour across Europe, with a string of sold-out shows along the way. “I think STEVEN WILSON was a big inspiration in pushing me in the direction of writing songs about “the person next door” rather than philosophy, mythology etc.,” Asger continues. “I like when lyrics contain characters and situations that are easy to relate to, with a frequent use of everyday nouns. I think this is a nice way of “grounding” the lyrics, while the music itself might be very intangible, seeking an otherworldly vibe.”
