Thank you for tuning in! 🚀🪐 You can also listen to '24 Light-Years' on your preferred streaming or download service following this link: vola.streamlink.to/24ly

This has to be one of the most underrated bands I’ve ever heard of. If I ever get to see them live I’d probably shed a tear of joy lol.

Man this album is going to be great.

Adam is such a criminally underrated drummer, He always smashes the ball out the park with the most interesting and musicals grooves that no one else could write

Vola, Leprous, and BTBAM should tour!

I can barely deal with how pretty this song is...and that drum groove is incredibly unique. I am a sucker for deep space/deep ocean sounds, and that's exactly how this song sounds. So sooo beautiful. I have great faith in this band. I am so lucky to be listening to this..

god this is so magical

If we can get a triple header tour with Vola, Sleep Token, and Spiritbox, my life would be complete.

I guess this is VOLA's Born in Winter.

VOLA are the sci-fi progmetal Gods. Period.

“If I zoom in,” guitarist-singer Asger Mygind says. “The failure is born from unrequited love, grief, manipulative behavior and insecurity. Connecting it with the album title, one could view the characters portrayed in the lyrics as being witnesses to the dissolution of the bond they have created with people in their lives.” What remarkable thought and aim, reflecting a situation relatable to many.. Thank you for such a beautiful song 🕯🖤

Adam's drums on this are extra terrestrial

The vocals kicking back in with the harmonies at 4:00 is just giving me goosebumps all over holy shit

The best band in the djent space. These guys are actually original as fuck, and super refreshing!

there's not a single "just average" song on this album so far this is definitely a 10/10 prog metal album and will stay that way for many many generations to come

true man simply cannot hold his tears when the chorus hits

My body is prepared.

Oh look, another 100%banger from Vola, color me surprised.

My favourite single so far. Balanced and powerful at the same time. Witness is coming.

This song inspired an alternate story for me. 0:00 - A man sits beside a hospital bed, hunched over, body silently shaking. Daylight pours in through a gap in darkened curtains. He's holding someone's hand, but it's clear to him and to us that their grip is no more. 0:21 - A humanoid machine sits at an old, decaying desk, multiple limbs working tirelessly on a blueprint of a small space shuttle. Its eyes are unwavering, frantically scouring the paper to make sure all the calculations are correct. We see traces of books about the stars. 0:44 - A man and woman stand atop a roof of a highrise somewhere in the city. The woman is looking through a telescope, surveying the stars; the constellations. She's looking for a particular constellation; we don't get to see which one it is, but when she finds it, she smiles and looks back to the man. The man, knowing nothing about the stars, but happy that the woman is enjoying herself, smiles. 1:07 - The machine is on a platform inside a dilapidated building. The sky is black; the eternal clouds obscure the cosmos. The machine working on the shuttle. We get scarce glimpses of the outside, hints of what the world has become. 1:22 - The woman returns to the telescope. The camera pans upward to the sky. We get a glimpse of the stars, streaks of light flying through the air. When it pans upward even further, it intersperses the scene of a rusted picture frame on a desk. Inside is an old photo of the man and woman. The machine's reflection comes into frame, fitting almost perfectly over the visage of the man. 1:35 - The machine is outside now, steadily dragging massive cables across the cracked earth. The camera cuts outward to show us that nothing else remains around it, just itself and its project. We get a reason to its goal: a blinking indicator on its arm. It's power is waning. Time is running out. 1:56 - More work on the shuttle. Welding, hammering, drilling. The machine grips each tool as tightly as the man grips the chair in the doctor's office after hearing the unfortunate news. The woman beside him is in shock. The tears well up, but never fall. We catch a fleeting moment of the man falling asleep in one moment, and the machine waking up the next. 2:16 - The shuttle is finished. After so much study and so much work, the project is complete. The machine steps back to give it a final once-over. Above, the clouds flash with thunder, just as they did on the night before the woman passed on. 2:40 - The machine has very little power left. With what remains, it struggles to climb aboard the shuttle and strap itself in. With only one shot, it can only hope that it all works. After doing a check of all the systems, it initiates the countdown and begins to launch the ship. 3:07 - The shuttle is off and into the sky. It clips part of the dilapidated building, causing damage to the thrusters. The machine can't afford to care; it just needs to complete its goal. The shuttle hits the clouds. We get an outside shot of the ship as lightning arcs all around it. The interior of the ship is shaking, as if its barely holding together. The machine grips the ends of its chair. 3:34 - We're in the hospital room. We see the woman in her bed; pale, thinner, having departed this world. For the first time outside of the photo, we see the man's face, and he's beginning to grieve. In the ship, we see a delicate hand come over the machine's own hard, metallic hand. The machine turns its head to see the woman sitting beside him, smiling. We see the machine's face, its eyes fixed in a vague expression; happiness, grief, it's hard to say. Their heads turn toward the window of the shuttle, toward the clouds. 4:01 - The shuttle breaks through the clouds and into the atmosphere. The machine can finally see the stars. As the cockpit of the ship begins to flash red, screens across the dash displaying combustion warnings and alerts for imminent destruction, the machine - having accepted what's coming - scans the skies one last time. In the final moments of the song, he finds the constellation the woman deemed her own and admires it the way the man never got to, right before the shuttle explodes, killing him. There are details I don't want to give away, but I just want to say thanks for making music that inspires me to make stories like this. It's a part of a larger story I intend to share with my players in a TTRPG campaign some time in the future, but apart from that, this is just a very good song, and you're a very good band. Thanks again. Sorry if the story is bad, lmao.

2:40 goosebumps

I saw these guys in November in Boston with my son. They were amazing musically, but we're so nice and humble to us when we met them. My son is a huge fan and invited his old Mama to share his live Vola experience. I am grateful for the opportunity to get to know this band, their music and their kindness to their fans! Thank you VOLA for the experience of a lifetime!

Man, if those lyrics don't hit you in the feels with the state of the world right now, you didn't spend the past year in quarantine with the rest of us...

This band has been the best gift. People are still discovering them. I just pray these guys keep making music for all of us.

This is pure gold! If this band doesn't break big now something's seriously wrong in this world. 💙

I say again, WHO IS DOWNVOTING THIS? This band creates life-affirming music.

Everytime Vola release a new song: Day 1: "OK... I'll need another listens to really get what is really going on..." Day 2: know every lyric, every riff, every part, and listen to it over and over and over again :-) Can't wait for witness !! 🔥🔥🔥

This album is gonna be the GOAT

The first two singles are good but man there is something truly special about this one

Came from an ad in a Haken video. I don't use to click at song ads, but starting seconds were awesome and the whole song even greater. I'll definitely get into your music right now! New fan here.

Thank you Vola. God bless you

Honestly i dont know what the lyrics exactly mean, but this song makes me shed a tear everytime. Its simply beautiful.

How does this band keep getting better, how is that even possible....

every single song so far is better than anything you've ever done and i already think every album you've done is amazing it's legitimately unfair on other bands how good you guys are

Found myself tearing up listening to this while driving to work... just perfect

This new album is gonna make VOLA blow up. They'll be one of the biggest names in prog/djent very soon

I'm so freakin hyped for the new album

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

fantastic, restored my faith in music

This song has really grown on me. At first I thought it was too simplistic and cheesy. But it says a lot when you catch yourself humming the melody of a song you "don't like" with a satisfied grin on your face. I only just now feel the deeper meaning behind this track. You did it again, Vola :)

I'm not crying you're crying....please come to ATL guys

I'm all about this song, but I literally groove every time at 2:40. It's such a banger.

I’m crying. VOLA you seriously make the greatest music, and we all appreciate your art and hard work on this beautiful heavy music!

Vola deserve to be giants!

You let us wait for 3 days? Monsters..

This is the song that tipped me to buying the vinyl. Can’t wait to listen to this song with the lights off, a glass of whiskey, and the record glowing...

My heart jumped when I saw the notification circle for the VOLA channel only to be teased to wait two days :'''[

If the singles keep coming at this pace we’ll have the full album by the end of April😜😂 Hyped once again guys🤘🏻🤘🏻

Just while listening to this for the first time I had the feeling that something special comes around with Witness and something really serious awaits to this guys after the realease. Their talent deserves to reach a larger audience. Thanks Vola!

Thank God this showed up us an ad, with ads like this I would be extremely happy. I loved this!

The drums in this song are incredible. The song is pretty stunning as well which can be expected from the best prog band in the game!

This band just gets better with age. Cant wait for this album!!!

I've been enchanted with the work of Anne Nørkjær Bang & Nicolai Mogensen since the beginning with you guys.

Bro, like, how u gonna make a song that mixes Applause from a Distant Crowd, Homesick Machinery, and Inmazes. I loved it.

The despair and loneliness of Ruby Pool with the hope and light of the end of Inmazes combine to make something new entirely. This is incredible.

Asger might have possibly one of the most beautiful singing voices in modern rock/metal. Pure perfection.

Kinda similar to Alien Shivers with its dreamy tone. Great vocals, drumming, guitar and synthwork. In any case, no one's gonna be complaining for sure 😁

Mastery is what this is called. Vola hasn't disappointed after all these years, unlike many bands have done.

my goodness that intro just hits right

After the first two Witness singles, I’m really excited for this to drop. Never stop making music, guys. You are artists of great impact.

Every hair standing on end. Feels like ecstasy is flowing through my veins. Wow. Electric. 🖤. Takes you away from this world for a small while ♥️

"Gutter Moon" is my favorite track on "Inmazes" and as it turns out this right here has to be "Gutter Moon 2.0" vibe-wise. So looking forward to the new album guys!!

15 seconds in, already awesome... instant like

I thought Straight Lines was good but this is even better!!

Best album of the decade already, and it's only 2021. And the album isn't even out yet. Damn. You guys deserve everything good that comes your way. Keep up the great work \m/

OK, well that's just stunning. You've got yourselves a new fan here.

I keep coming back to this over and over. Good lord, it's so good. So perfect. The combination of melody and technical prowess and that bridge.... THAT BRIDGE. Good God, man. So good. Thank you.

Today is my birthday. Have been trying to move from my house since last year, but something seems to keep me here. Too many past echo's and memories. This is the perfect song this morning from a perfect band. Thank you!

VOLA. Thanks for this song. Thanks for this album. I discovered you guys very recently and cannot stop listening to all of your songs. But this song is simply something else, and brings me a little of peacefulness and joy in this very bad year I'm having. I haven't even watched the whole video yet because I literally start crying at some point. Just for the beauty of the music. Not only my favorite song of the year, but also THE song that makes me feel good in these dark times for me. Thank you again. And I hope to see you one day!

Just saw them in LA on Friday. Some the cleanest live production I've ever heard. Show was a banger and probably one of the livelier crowds ive seen at a CA show in some time.

And VOLA continues to raise the expectations! Witness will be... fantastic! Cannot imagine any other outcome!

VOLA to prog metal is as Lord Huron is to folk: not enough know about them in their respective genres. Love this music.

I love being in this moment, when I have already heard the song (like, 15 times today so far), but the music video is yet to be revealed.

Vola and Erra releasing new songs on the same day? Absolute blessing

Oh I didnt know we were doing tears this morning. Good to know.

THE FIRST TASTE WAS ENTER - INMAZES - CONTROLABLE- ALL THE SONGS HAVE THAT SPECIAL TOUCH

The tags in the description are hilarious. Also, the drumming in this song is just incredible.

The feels. Just all the feels ❤ So pumped for this album

I m glad i didnt skip the ad

These new Vola singles are amazing!

Gorgeous, emotional song. The drummer blew my mind on this one

Once in a while a Classic song comes along, VOLA has Arrived with this Masterpiece, Listening 24-7 Stay Safe People March 2021

drumming on this song is absolutely ascended

I just discovered VOLA today. Absolutely hooked on this band. Great niche to fill stylewise. I love days like this when I discover a special band.

It builds and builds, going from a somber melancolic sound to this HUGE prog sound! The wait for the upcoming record just got easier and harder at the same time.

The keyboard work here is amazing . It just fits so perfectly without being an overpowering element .

I love this band, it makes me reflect a lot and it’s sentimental in a way. Totally one of the greatest

WOW WHAT!? I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!

I heard the drums and preordered the vinyl. You guys are special.

Please stop being so amazing. It makes me want to cry.

This is a beast of a song. Buying this album ASAP. And the drumming what a character. Adds such an airy element to the percussion that really carries this song over.

Most underrated band ever

Last time I felt so warm and cold at the same time was Haken's Affinity... 5 long years.

2017 in the cockpit of Apollo, by Crystal Lake, we'd reached beyond the gravity fades away 2021 we're 24 light-years ahead with Vola

I've listened to this song countless times over the last couple of days... I'm still being blown away by it. ...Personal note...going through a bit of a rough patch in my life right now, and this is giving me so much joy, so I'm thankful for that! I'm loving these guys and I'm so glad I took the time to check them out! Looking forward to everything they do in the future!

2:40 and VOLA said "LET MY PEOPLE GROOVE"

Adam is killing it on drums!!!

The tastiest drums I've heard in a while. Another great song, can't wait for the album.

2:40 feels so good in the ears

I cant stop listening to this. This album will be a masterpiece
