Friend of a Phantom

by VOLA

supported by

gatko Solid album that feels like a continuation of Witness, or at least a similar overall production style. Enjoyable, easy to listen to, and a nice palette cleanser from heavier stuff. Great work! Favorite track: Cannibal (feat. Anders Fridén).

about

It has 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.

The Danish-Swedish quartet - Asger Mygind (vocals/guitar), Martin Werner (keys), Nicolai Mogensen (bass), and Adam Janzi (drums) - are now, to set free their fourth studio album. Their 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.

Talking about their evolution, Janzi says. "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."

After finding out about Tesseract last year they have become my favourite band of all time with WOB becoming my favourite album of all time. There isn't a single skip of this album and every track is absolutely exceptional from the drums to the guitars, bass and vocals. LibbyTehHuman

Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic
by The Ocean

supported by 135 fans who also own “Friend of a Phantom”

This album thrives on its diverse array of sounds. There are the expected down-tuned guitars as well as clean sections. Brass is deployed to great textural effect, and keyboards are utilized to add gravity. The long songs on this album never feel as long as they are. The Ocean frequently demonstrate their ability to marry crushing heaviness with accessible melodicism and this album is no different. For sure one of the band's greatest! Lefteris Kefalas
