Volumes Cover Pantera’s “Rise”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Volumes have released a cover of Pantera‘s “Rise.“ Bassist Raad Soudani commented:

“Members of the band, past and present, have been huge fans of Pantera. However, the inspiration to cover this song came lightly. I was at the gym, and Pantera came on shuffle. My thought process was, ‘Pantera rules. It would be cool if Volumes covered a song.’ Everyone else was down, and we went to work. We chose this particular album [‘Vulgar Display Of Power’] and song because the album is on its 30th anniversary, and ‘Rise‘ speaks volumes to the culture of the world not only when it was originally written, but even today. It also rips. During the mixing process, we wanted to stay true to their sound, while implementing ours.”

Volumes Premiere New Song “Happier?”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Volumes have shared the title track of their new album “Happier?.” As previously reported, that effort will be released on November 19. The group commented:

“‘Happier?‘ is about how you watch someone destroy themselves and ultimately end up in a darker, negative space and feeling like your hands are tied. It’s about feeling helpless to the fact that you once knew someone completely different then the person who is standing in front of you.”

Volumes Premiere “Get Enough” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Volumes have premiered a new video for their new single “Get Enough.” You can check that out below:

The band commented:

“‘Get Enough‘ is about the point in someone’s life where everything eventually is for personal gain. Things can get very isolating and lonely when someone is knowingly going out of their way to use and deceive something or someone for self-benefit. The song is essentially having that conversation with yourself — a nice hard look in the mirror. In general, we feel like now more than ever with as instantly gratifying as life can be, it’s more important to always look at the bigger picture and take a breather. This song speaks to that narrative.

This song is a step out of the realm Volumes has existed in for a long time. It’s showcasing another side of the band that has been percolating for quite some time. Introducing a new sonic direction was something crucial on our minds for this album and we couldn’t be more excited with the outcome. We are looking forward to playing this one live.”
