VOLA - Whaler (Official Lyric Video)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- We’re pleased to present to you the official lyric video for the track 'Whaler'. ‘Whaler’ became one of our favorite songs to play during our fall Europe tour last year, due to its slow and weighty groove. It was always an enjoyable experience to burst into the main theme of the song - without notice - and watch how people would respond to the more straight-forward vibe of the riff. Because of all the fun we had with this track on stage, we thought it would be appropriate to present the lyrics on a backdrop of a live performance. The video was created by Brownstache Productions and it contains footage from Euroblast Festival 2018.
Our second album 'Applause Of A Distant Crowd' has been released Oct 12th 2018 via Mascot Records.

WHALER
Glitch in my hand.
I’m determined to withstand.
Cause overgrown.
Infiltrating baritone.
Black mountain dew
from my temper, for my truth.
Tall apogee,
I’m assembled, finally.
Save the part you wrote.
I want to escape night.
All my emptiness
should wither in famed light.
Save the part
below my dissolving eyes and bones.
This is the grand borderline. (Whaler).
I’m losing my grip every time. (Whaler).
Save the part you wrote.
I want to escape night.
All my emptiness
should wither in famed light.
Save the part below my scenario.

As the only guy wearing a red shirt in the video... I'm so happy you used footage from this show.
Adam my dude
You and red-hair girl stand out hard, specially between two white shirt dudes
You must be a secret time travelling mate ;) Great choice, indeed!
3:14 ! Awesome! I'd discovered Vola a few months back and spent all day listening! 🤟🏽
That's hilarious dude lol
I almost forgot to come here again and listen to this for the 3rd time today
Hehe. Glad you came back:)
That groove is so arrogant and seductive.. It's hypnotic and amazing!
Agreed, you can't deny the bands skills at all. They are great.
Vola, Tesseract, Jinjer...simply the best things you can expect from the music world. LOVE 'EM.
I'll keep dropping comments on all of their UA-cam content as I familiarize myself with their catalogue. All of their creation is choice. Every note. Every rhythm. Choice. 💯
This song is like a stormy autumn day with dramatic clouds in the sky and incredible colours....only to be brightened up by a hole in the clouds, revealing the rays of an orange evening sun. That's my association with this song.
Baseline sooo heavy!
It has some kind of a Mastodon's Leviathan vibe to me. Love it
These guys are great songwriters and this one is a masterpiece.
This song is just flat out incredible. The bridge section has one the most menacing riffs i think I've ever heard, and when it changes right before going into the final chorus is a genius transition. By the end it feels like a mini-epic. It's fucking brilliant.
The breakdown at 2:15 is one of the greatest things I've ever heard!!!!
You meant *2:44 😉
Stellar album. I'm an old school death metal guy, but this band is fucking awesome
So happy i found Vola. It is a whole different level, it's one of my favourites allready, regards from Scandinavia :P
I'm so mad I'm just now discovering Vola, but so glad I found them. This is the most refreshing stuff I've heard in a long time! \m/
Same here ! UA-cam recommandation, i love you !
Same....💕
Same here
Adam's drumming aesthetic swagger is so visually pleasant, besides musically of course
3:43 is one of the most uplifting changes I've heard since I have been listening to metal.. unbelievable that I've only been listening to about 5-6 songs over the last few days and I would say you have already over taken my favorite band AND another band who has my favorite prog album so far... I've had the same opinions for the last 10-12 years and you guys changed it in 1 day. Can't wait to see you guys getting the views, tours and following a band of this level deserves!
Thank you for the encouraging words:)
2:00 “My dissolving eyes… and bones” wow love this part.
Please for the love of everything good, come to the Americas
Finally taked the time to listen to Applause of a distant crowd in its entirety and i was inmediatly blown when this song played, its definitly now on my top VOLA's favorite songs. Its so beautiful.
I can't believe you guys aren't famous from this song. Marketing may be all u need.
This is great guys, I ask God to keep blessing you all and continue to spread your passion for music around the world.
almost no smartphones used in the audience! THANK YOU! :D
1:53 the reflection of the head stock as he sings the word "light"
that turned me on
I've listened to this song at least twice a day for the last 2 years straight 😭 Fugging AWESOOOOOME~! If you ever hit America, I am so there!
HOW DID I JUST FIND THIS AFTER YEARS OF LOVING VOLA???
"Black Mountain Dew" That was one of the best flavors ever!!!! 😭😭😭
this reminds me so much of Starburn with the way the lyrics are displayed live.
This album makes me so happy.
Damn.. that chorus is amazing !
I so very badly want to see these guys live, but I am afraid I'd break my neck... From headbanging, of course...
I'm so happy to finally see Adam on a stage! The guy oozes passion for drums, percussion and music in general!
New fan as of two days ago and I am hopelessly hooked on "Whaler" and "Smartfriend". Wicked growling riffs, grooving drums, clean vocals, piercing synths, and killer hooks are making you guys some of my favorite music!
Glad to hear that Brendan:)
Great song! Great Record! Best album of 2018
(Black Peaks)
Awesome album guys... Cheers from Italy!
È da quando sono venuti all'Alcatraz a fare da spalla ai Katatonia che ascolto in loop Inmazes. Da quando è uscito Applause of A Distant Crowd l'avrò ascoltato per intero già una trentina di volte. Mi piace un pochino di meno di Inmazes, cionondimeno resta un grandissimo album.
@@alessiooliva2457 Sicuramente un album differente, ma non meno complesso e intricato. Ascolto dopo ascolto scopro nuovi dettagli che non avevo notato in precedenza. Il talento di questi ragazzi è incredibile...
Ci si vede a marzo !
Found myself at least 20 times in the first row! Great show I enjoyed every second. see you in 2019!
PSS gang in the first row excellent!
@@MatthewDakoutros PSS FAM REPRESENT
How it should be
haha, I found myself in the row in front of yours; just hiding behind the lense :>
VOLA is one of those bands which I did not admit at first. There was only one song that caught me. Then I went to their concert and something changed... Started to listen to the whole discography. Suddenly I realised I was listening to the 2 albums the 5th time.... This is how I fell in love with this band
Which song caught you at first?
@@TheEpicLH For me it was Golden Lighthouse Failure. The heavy intro contrasting to the vocals caught me. And that was during a time where I didn't really like clean vocals, but it just stood out a lot.
You lads are KILLING IT! Love this track
I use to skip this song but saw a live video and now it's one of many favorites
i want a black mountain dew for my temper and my truth.
BRO WHATSSUP!!
This album is a jewel, when music fills you with joy and happiness, everything is said, all you need is listen and sing along feeling good...
Greetings from Argentina, and I wish to have the opportunity to see a show of you guys here ... cheers!
Please tour the United States !!
Desde Yurirra, Guanoajuato, México. Su música es alucinante. Gracias por eso.
You got yourself a new fan can't wait for the show in vienna in March!
See you in Vienna! :)
Madly in love with this track
0:01 idk how often you guys get this, but your logo is beautiful.
Guys, I have been listening to really all sorts of music for the last 20 years and this song is astonishingly good. Please, please, more! It reminds me of Aylin Aslim - Ahh !
This is my favorite song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers from Vancouver VOLA. Absolutely in love with your music. Please try to come here soon!!
moshpitmaniac18 Calgary too!
a true masterpiece! complex yet tight, heavy yet uplifting, they really hit the spot combining Opeth/Meshuggah/Steven Wilson. congrats and keep up the awesome work!
I have been a huge rock-& metal fan for almost 30 years now, and I am so glad that there are artists out there who just "hit the nail" and create something as beautiful, emotional and catchy as you guys do. This is without any doubt my favourite song of the last months. Was just wandering what "whaler" is really about :-) loving the freedom of interpretation but was just curious....See you in Stuttgart. Will there be any limited vinyl for sale?
So unique and so heavy in its own way
Brand new fan hear. CAN'T WAIT to see you burst into this song live in Manchester in less than a month!
We can't wait either:) See you then and come say hi after the show!
'lyrics video' is such a euphemism for this!
Found myself at 2:05. :) That was a great show at Euroblast!
WOW! Right now I'm wondering how I could have missed this until now. I think I'm a new fan 😲🤟🖤
Thank you for listening!
Much love from Texas! Cannot wait for a North America tour. Make sure Houston is on it ❤🤘
So good. love you guys. Music is alive with you.
You are one of the best bands live I've ever seen. See you in Budapest in February once again!
You guys are amazing! Great song and video. Cheers from Brazil
Nice! Do Ruby Pool next if possible, cheers from Zagreb, your concert was one of 2018's highlights and that is no small feat when I also saw bands like The Ocean, Deafheaven, Clutch and other big boys. You lads are a breath of fresh air in an ironically formulaic scene (for the most part let's be real). Keep at it!
"Infiltrating baritone" oh yes... so fkin heavy and ethereal at the same time
one of the best albums of 2018
You guys are an incredible band, keep it up, greetings from Argentina!
If I knew they were filming for a video, I would have moved in closer, lol!
Haha!
@@volaband Hopefully you'll be at next years Euroblast. Ill be coming from New York again and I would love footage of you guys. I hope John sees this, haha!
@@NewYorkMetalShows We'll see:)
Cheers from Brazil!
Would love to see you guys in AZ someday.
This song is just raw on so many levels \M/
Sick! Come to Chicago!🤘
I saw Vola on tour with monuments. It was a blast for me as an musican. So, what did i do ? Buy all albums! :D I love your music so much. Thanx!
exactly what I need...thanks!
The greatest band that will ever be, this is not opinion but factual.
This completes me!
Happy to hear that Chad:)
@@volaband lol anytime! Dude it's so good.
I already want a new album from you guys...
We are on it:)
You sneaky chaps, as I said in London! Can't wait to see you again with Haken!
Is anyone hearing this as I do? These guys are insanely good.
VOLA is a glitch in the Matrix, and I think this song is proof of it.
This song is like AI trying to “act natural” and make sense. Attempting to “fit in,” using all the wrong words in right places.
It’s becoming self aware, while falling apart, and trying to keep it together.
I wanna make it to your concerts at least this year :( Spamming your songs on spotify is not enough for me!
VOLA Rulesssssssssss!!
Monster tune! Love the video! Come to New Zealand!!! Please ;p
Awesome, you guys
Fantastic song.
Greetings from Brazil 🤟❤
Greetings from Denmark:)
OMG this is so awesome. Come to brazil!

Wait is Haken actually bringing you and Bent Knee to Krakow on the 27th?!?!
yes, they are
@@volaband NOW I'M PUMPED!
How fucking cool was that tour?! Haken is just killing it and it was a pleasure to get to know VOLA as well.
VOLA is awesome......they sound like if Jim Morrison was the lead singer of Deftones \m/
