Danish/Swedish prog metallers VOLA will release their new album Friend Of A Phantom in November
Danish/Swedish quartet VOLA have shared a video for their brand new single, the pounding prog metal anthem Cannibal, which features a guest appearance from Anders Fridén of Swedish metallers In Flames.
Cannibal is the fourth single the band have released from their upcoming album, Friend Of A Phantom, which the band release through Mascot Records on November 1.
"VOLA's music is heavily shaped by melodic death metal, so having Anders Fridén from the legendary In Flames featured on Cannibal is a dream come true for us," the band say. "We feel truly fortunate and are enormously proud of the result."
"I have been a fan of VOLA since their first album," adds Fridén. "They are constantly evolving and, to me, are one of the most interesting bands out right now. During the recording of our last album, I had the opportunity to meet the band and witness an incredible show at The Troubadour in LA. Cut to a few months later, I was approached if I would be interested in being on a song for their next album. It was a yes without hesitation. It's an honor to be part of this monster of a song. Bang your head if you know what's good for you!"
The band will tour Europe on their Friend Of A Phantom tour throughout November, with UK dates in London, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Bristol.You can see the full list of VOLA's European tour dates below.
