From the debut album Inmazes by VOLA. Mixed by Asger Mygind. Mastered by Jens Bogren. Get the album here: www.mascotlabel... Merch here: volaband.bigcar... VOLA: / volaband www.volaband.com
This song reminds me of enlightenment. Breaking free of those mental traps you designed yourself. Being in this world, seeing the purple water shining. It's a brilliant song.
The brilliance behind this track, let alone the whole band, is staggering. You guys have brought a style of progressive metal that is both melodic and original, and I love it. I can only hope you guys make it to the U.S. one day.
When I sat down and tried to count this thing to figure out what on earth was even going on it took awhile. I am blown away by how you guys can even pull this off. Brilliant. Amazing!!!!
This song, and enter are my favourite VOLA songs, inmazes is just amazing, i love how it just builds up throughout the song, then you get hit with a super strong outro 4:10 - 7:30
It´s amazing how a lot of their songs punch you right in the gut in the first couple of minutes and then try to confort you near the end xD (Owls also does the same thing and it is just perfect!) Keep it up guys, love the band!
Vola, you've simply amazed me. I've been in a musical slump in the past year or so, where nothing is just giving me the same feeling anymore. I discovered your music and my passion has lit again, chills running down my spine through almost every song. Thank you for making amazing music.
same effect on me dudes and dudettes! No way back to genre music for a while, lol.. Those catchy, big, epic melodies getting me all the time, even now, when i can listen to their songs only in my head ... 4:16

Every time I come back to this tune I play it about 15 times in a row. It's so good. The lyrics, the melody, the solo introducing the awesome mellow rhythm section. They lullabye keys in the outro. The chill drum beats. The wall of sound. Kudos.
i cannot believe ive never heard this group before...i am moved to tears..its a such a marvelous confluence of djent, SW and other various prog metal influences
I really feel like I missed the chance to listen to this for the past 4-5 years. My friend recommended it based on knowing I like Leprous and that is a damn good friend recommending a damn good band.
Omg.. I'm just blown away by each track! You guys are by far my new favorite. What an amazing job you guys do with your talents. Beautifully creative and unique. Truly one of a kind. VOLA!!!
4:16 "Hear these voices, hear the cheers of choices There are colors following your kind Don't you dare forget the purple water shining You've been dressed in disaster and turned every brick that your head will combine Now why are you still trapped in mazes you designed?" (although I *tend to* hear: don't you dare forget the purple ALSO shining " and "turned every brick that your HAND will combine" - coz i learned it to sing by ear, and now its too late to disassociate
Looks like the secret recipe is take a cup of VOLA add a few spoons of Meshuggah, Tesseract & Pinkfloyd in the bowl Voila, you,ve got a very tasty cocktail. Inmazing song !!
Thank u guys for this beautiful music! Very impressive work. Got the album on bandcamp for free. Now i want a shirt for money:-) Hope to see u soon live in Hamburg or at the Euroblast in Cologne. Greets.
I heard lightning strike I saw bodies moving I took up the fight into valleys glooming I have caught them all Every glimpse of failure Why do you still call and question my behaviour? I heard lightning strike I saw bodies moving I will move if my strings would start approving She must find another home But she won't leave a man of silence Hear these voices hear the cheers of choices There are colors following your kind Don't you dare forget the purple water shining You've been dressed in disaster and turned every brick that your head will combine Now why are you still trapped in mazes you designed?
I just discovered this band today and was listening to this song on Spotify. I paused it and came to listen to it on UA-cam for two reasons 1) To see how many other people had the same thought, and 2) To see if it sounds even more like 'Dancers' when sped up. Heh
The idea of the first riff was somehow clearly borrowed from meshuggah , but that does not counter the fact that this is the most complete (in a sense of mood and music) song I have ever heard.
Not to argue or anything - I just discovered this band, but guys - familiarizing this band with other bands doesn't necessarily mean it's stolen work. It might actually be composed parallelly with the famous bands. My music is sometimes familiarized with bands I've never heard of, but very similar in the genre I end up being... It's just the ears inside guys :) Peace and metal
Went to their merch store and why can't they just put this album cover on like a t-shirt or hoodie because like that album cover is great and I'd buy that shirt
Hi John. We have it available as a sweatshirt here: www.volaband.com/merch The t-shirt version is sold out at the moment but we will make some more in the future:)
@@heavymetalrybakina that's the point of meshuggah lol. They are not interested in melody. They are interested in awesome rhythm cycles. The only time meshuggah has melody is when our lord and savior Fredrik thordendal takes an awesome guitar solo.
It's no use saying "sounds like [quotes famous band like meshuggah]" the only time I would write such a comment would be to promote an unknown artist/an artist from a different genre
"Now why are you still trapped in mazes you designed?". Brilliant.
Absolutely
Soyjack
absolute cinema
One of the best Prog metal song ever. Even Legendary bands couldn't make like this song. Amazing.
This song reminds me of enlightenment. Breaking free of those mental traps you designed yourself. Being in this world, seeing the purple water shining. It's a brilliant song.
Just found this two weeks ago. Can we just re-release this album now and spread it to every corner of the universe
This might be one of the best pieces of music I’ve ever heard.
K, a new band to get completely fucking obsessed with
Right behind ya
3:08. That bass line is beautiful!
Peak VOLA. Not possible to get tired of this song
Dancers To a Discordian Vola? This is an obvious tribute to Meshuggah, with a Vola (beautiful) touch!
Wu Wei yes mate.
I thought the same
The brilliance behind this track, let alone the whole band, is staggering. You guys have brought a style of progressive metal that is both melodic and original, and I love it. I can only hope you guys make it to the U.S. one day.
Amen mate 💯🤘 the day is closer
They are currently on a US tour

Owls is so so so so so so good

I feel the same way. I can't give back what they've given me.
I came back to jam this song and tried to like this comment, only to realize I was the one who made the comment

100% same. I found them at just the right time in my life. This music is life-saving and passion-reigniting.
can never get enough of this band. Big love!
4:16 love this part
The best 👌🏻
So uplifting
tingles everytime!
I think that's why we're all here
Some Gentle Giant at the start....love how it grows to perfection...

Sometimes you need a beautiful song. This is a beautiful piece of music to be sure.
this album is probably going to be in my top ten list until I die.
I really feel like I missed the chance to listen to this for the past 4-5 years. My friend recommended it based on knowing I like Leprous and that is a damn good friend recommending a damn good band.
it must be so revivifying and satisfying to be able to make music like this.
Yep this is definitely my favorite song.
All i can say is thankyou. Thankyou thankyou thankyou.
Wow even though I hear so many influences, not once did this feel unoriginal. Lovely work peeps @vola
Inmazes amazes me. By far, best release of 2015.
Nailed it. Beautiful art you guys have here. Not referring to the album cover, which is also awesome.
Omg.. I'm just blown away by each track! You guys are by far my new favorite. What an amazing job you guys do with your talents. Beautifully creative and unique. Truly one of a kind. VOLA!!!
Best song I heard on 2016. Started listening the album in January, still fu**ing here!
best song off the album
Inmazing!!!!
Spotify needs to get this streaming in India too.
Agreed!
India needs to get VOLA to play live in India too
i been looking for new music-- and this is what i need it.'
thanks VOLA--
i appreciate the response-- thanks VOLA
Best song I heard this year!
Happy 6 years to this amazing album. In my top 3 of favorite albums ever, it's hard to get enough of it. Super stoked for the new album too!
Make that 8 years
5:10 onwards is the perfect outro
FUCKING AGREED. just amazing. blissful
It’s on the level of outros like Comforting Sounds by Mew
4:16
"Hear these voices, hear the cheers of choices

Don't you dare forget the purple water shining
You've been dressed in disaster and turned every brick that your head will combine
Now why are you still trapped in mazes you designed?"
(although I *tend to* hear: don't you dare forget the purple ALSO shining
" and "turned every brick that your HAND will combine" - coz i learned it to sing by ear, and now its too late to disassociate
Just discovered this guys today. Not gonna lie, I'm pleasantly surprised by their output. Hope they continue making good music in the future.
Yeah the beginning is Meshuggah, for sure, but everything from 2:47 onwards is pure Devin Townsend
this is just unbelievable !! pure joy :-)
Looks like the secret recipe is take a cup of VOLA
add a few spoons of Meshuggah, Tesseract & Pinkfloyd in the bowl
Voila, you,ve got a very tasty cocktail.
Inmazing song !!
Your taste in cats matches your taste in music
@@banehog bruh
Thank u guys for this beautiful music! Very impressive work. Got the album on bandcamp for free. Now i want a shirt for money:-)
Hope to see u soon live in Hamburg or at the Euroblast in Cologne. Greets.
fuck yeah! That would be awesome! They absolutely deserve it!
October 2nd this year at Euroblast :-D
I heard lightning strike
I saw bodies moving
I took up the fight into valleys glooming
I have caught them all
Every glimpse of failure
Why do you still call and question my behaviour?
I heard lightning strike
I saw bodies moving
I will move if my strings would start approving
She must find another home
But she won't leave a man of silence
Hear these voices hear the cheers of choices
There are colors following your kind
Don't you dare forget the purple water shining
You've been dressed in disaster and turned every brick that your head will combine
Now why are you still trapped in mazes you designed?
The guitar solo at 2:21 gives me some "dogs" By pink Floyd vibes
I've had this and Owls on constant repeat for months now. Fucking love it!
This song is fucking genious. Thank you for the music, bros
Glorious.
Debut album? omg
Dancer to a Disscordant System anyone?
This first riff tho
Of course!!!
yup
I just discovered this band today and was listening to this song on Spotify. I paused it and came to listen to it on UA-cam for two reasons 1) To see how many other people had the same thought, and 2) To see if it sounds even more like 'Dancers' when sped up. Heh
Literally came here for this comment
Just heard this song for the first time 5 minutes ago
The idea of the first riff was somehow clearly borrowed from meshuggah , but that does not counter the fact that this is the most complete (in a sense of mood and music) song I have ever heard.
i thought it was borrowed from Erotic Cakes by guthrie govan
+UnderATallTree You're right it does , but I meant the whole concept of the first riff.
Definitely. The structure of the whole intro until the heavy riff stops is pretty much a copy of Meshuggah's "Dancers To A Discordant System"
Holyshit!!!!!!!! this is perfect
I would love to have tabs for this track >.> this is a masterpiece!
Wasn't sure what to think at first, maybe a bit puzzled. By the end I rediscovered happiness.
Oh and I ordered the CD. Yay for support! XD
I add VOLA to my favorite band list.
COME TO BRAZIL!!!1
Wow,just woow

Djentpeche Mode?
Fucking best shit I've heard. Come to India. Please.

Hi John. We have it available as a sweatshirt here: www.volaband.com/merch
The t-shirt version is sold out at the moment but we will make some more in the future:)
The begining is litterally Kmac2021 playing Meshuggah without learning it
Djentle giants!
Why was the album removed from iTunes US?
Can't wait. Thanks for sharing your music!
Wow..
Meshuggah's brother
GHziikneon Except that Meshuggah sucks and has no melody.
@@heavymetalrybakina that's the point of meshuggah lol. They are not interested in melody. They are interested in awesome rhythm cycles. The only time meshuggah has melody is when our lord and savior Fredrik thordendal takes an awesome guitar solo.
good
Really interesting
I need this shit on wax man \m/
I ii IV I an OP chord progression tbh

First verse strongly reminds me of this: ua-cam.com/video/bX5ivuUm5ec/v-deo.html
Cool. Had never heard this before:)
It's no use saying "sounds like [quotes famous band like meshuggah]" the only time I would write such a comment would be to promote an unknown artist/an artist from a different genre
None of you people put up lyrics....
Instrumentally, i love it. Vocals... meh
It is something that had to grow on me a bit, personally. I thoroughly enjoy everything now.
Sounds like they have taken Meshuggah, Animals As Leaders and Oceansize and ripped off all there best stuff :/.
Siman Meshuggah have best stuff?
BenFoe Pee No, Meshuggah don't have best stuff because it's all top-tier..
Isn’t that what music is? A collaboration of influences?
Sounds like these guys were listening to a lot of unicorns
