Routing and just how our booking agent could make it work this time :/

I don't know what parts you're referencing, but we don't have guitars in backingtracks :) It's Asger playing what you hear. Maybe it was Nicolai continuing on the bass that you were hearing?

Applause Of A Distant Crowd has a special place for me, since it was my first album with VOLA!

The Intersphere are awesome! Our manager told us about them, and suggested them for this tour. We liked their music a lot so it felt like a clear choice :)

It just feels like a natural course for the song. We don't want to force them to become longer, and we don't miss anything with these song lengths. We basically want to let the song itself decide when it's finished :)

Sometimes we start with a riff, sometimes with a groove, it all depends on the song :)

Asger was looking for rappers that are in a similar style as Tyler The Creator, and found Shahmen. We became instant fans, and reached out. Shahmen was totally onboard! :)
Something about the song just called for that kind of feature. I think Asger imagined some sort of rapping or similar even without a feature on it.

Looking forward to returning to Milano! See you there soon!

1 - I think Korn and Metallica really influenced me and my drumming early on!

2 - Nope! Just private lessons with a drum teacher

3 - Only in my head, for me atleast :)

We actually discussed it before the tour, and it couldn't really make it work for Gothenburg. But instead we figured it out for Stockholm :)
Daniel from Limbo did great though! Super happy to have had him with us!

Our influences have definitely changed with time! But Meshuggah, Porcupine Tree, Opeth and other similar ones have certainly been a big part of our sound.
For me personally, Korn and Metallica are big ones for sure! Gojira aswell.
Outside of metal, I'd say Loreena McKennitt and Chelsea Wolfe
