Volumes have premiered new song titled “Sidewinder.” You can check that out below:
Vocalist Michael Barr told Knotfest the following about the new single:
“‘Sidewinder‘ is an unapologetic hate letter to a world gone mad, especially the corruption within the music industry. It offers an unfiltered perspective on a society in chaos, with no optimism or positivity. It’s a song that captures the feeling of everything unraveling as we know it.”
He also added the following about the band’s upcoming album:
“It’s a bit early to label it as Volumes 2.0 because, honestly, the future of the band is a bit uncertain right now. We’re at a crossroads, especially with the pause in touring and various internal dynamics at play. However, when it comes to the music we’re creating, I do feel like we’re entering a new era that might just be our best yet.
‘VIA‘ really set the stage for us. Back then, we were all about this intense focus on heavy grooves and non-stop riffs—it was our thing. But it’s been 15 years, and we’ve grown a lot since then. Our latest album reflects that growth. It’s richer, has more variety, and it’s full of real songs that I think people will really connect with. These are tracks that you’ll want to sing along to and that bring out all kinds of emotions.
We even threw in a song that’s a bit of a throwback to the ‘VIA‘ days, just packed with riffs and that heavy sound. But generally, our most popular songs these days are the ones where we mix melody and groove in a fresh, modern way. So, while I’m not exactly sure where Volumes is headed next, I’m really excited about how our sound has evolved and where it’s going with this new album.”
