   About VOLA




Most people recognize the expression ”to look for the treasure at the end of the rainbow”. In VOLA the motivation has a more simplistic ring: Why not just look for the rainbow itself? It might very well be of greater value than what it has chosen to lead to. VOLA are explorers in sound. The quintet hunts and takes down rainbows from the sky, loads them on their backs and carries them to a black and white world where sudden contrasts shoot up like surreal architecture. A process, in which indefinable but colourful and musical creatures are shaped and given life.

The band exists in a grey borderline area of rock music, where the elegance is portrayed in the clash of the complex, heavy and ballistic, and the melancholic, reflective and mellow. VOLA blends earth-shaking walls of guitar, aggressive bass lines and lively drums with soothing vocal harmonies, fragile piano sections and moments of sparkling, deep blue-textured electronica. From a distance this may look like an unhandy and inaccessible being, but it is also a being that you can get to know well, if you dare to dive into the soundscapes and take a closer peek. It is not for everybody, but possibly for you. Welcome.

During the late summer of 2008 VOLA recorded the EP ”Homesick Machinery” in Late Fairytale Recording Studio with producer Anders Ruby, and this release is now the centre of a wide promotion program and sale nationally as internationally from the band’s webshop and several commercial mp3-stores.


VOLA | HOMESICK MACHINERY



“One of the finest bands producing this music, that I have heard in a long time. This is not just a piece of music, but an experience….” – ULTIMATEREVIEWER.CO.UK

“This band should have spelled their name "Voila", cause that's what the quintet can say when they serve this fine peice of craftmanship to the listener.” – HEAVYMETAL.DK

“These guys really know what they are doing” – ANDERS RUBY (producer)

“The grandiose moments on Homesick Machinery show VOLA as a promising band on the scene of Danish rock music” – DISKANT.DK

“I'm sure that VOLA already with their first album will receive wide recognition. If they can keep this standard for 50 minutes then they will definitely end up on my future ‘favourite record’ list. Must listen!” – VAMPSTER.COM

hey!
we are trying to change something...
our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health.
so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two...
hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex!
kind regards!
DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany)
(new cd november 2009! - buy or let die!)

PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!
