Hailing from Los Angeles, Volumes stand among the original wave of bands that redefined modern djent and progressive metalcore in the early 2010s. The California outfit quickly built a fierce reputation around pinpoint mathematical rhythms, down-tuned seven-string guitar work, and suffocating grooves seamlessly blended with ambient textures and melodic hooks.
Their groundbreaking release Via (2011) alongside No Sleep (2014) serve as essential genre blueprints. Tracks like Wormholes, Edge of the Earth, and Pixelate demonstrated a flawless balance between staccato polymetric riffing and soaring vocal passages. A defining hallmark of Volumes has always been their dual-vocal dynamic—pairing raw, hardcore-infused barks with clean, emotive hooks. Despite navigating major lineup shifts and tragic losses over the years, their powerhouse record Happier? (2021) proved that Volumes haven't lost an ounce of their signature punch, polished production, or knack for devastating breakdowns.
Live, Volumes deliver a high-octane performance where syncopated guitar walls and heavy low-end frequencies hit with clockwork precision. Against the backdrop of the historic fortress walls, expect a masterclass in modern bounce and sheer rhythmic weight.
