In an alternative reality where Kyuss didn’t get their start in the sun-drenched weather of California, but in a cold barren volcanic landscape of Iceland, you would get Volcanova. Members hailing from 3 corners of this unique island of lava fields, glaciers, and hot springs came together to erupt a fresh take on desert rock.
The band, formed in 2014 by Samúel Ásgeirsson, Þorsteinn Árnason, and Dagur Atlason, has throughout their active years played high profile support slots in the Icelandic capital Reykjavik with Elder, Brain Police, Sólstafir and the Vintage Caravan, and has completed 2 UK tours as well as countless tours in their home country Iceland. Now, they're releasing their debut album, "Radical Waves" on Swedish label The Sign Records.
From the opening track "Welcome" to the album closer "Lights", the band mixes their influences from giants like Sleep, Kyuss, Black Sabbath, Fu Manchu, YOB, and Mastodon with their own unique style of songwriting. This while pulling off tight 3-part vocal harmonies, made possible by the three members shared skills behind the mic stand. Volcanova also incorporates a ton of humor in their songs, clearly shown on the previously released music videos "Sushi Sam" and "Super Duper Van".
"Radical Waves is all about taking the listener on a journey where two opposites, party and death, meet in the middle to create a swirling bliss of heavy and groovy riffs, and all the happy melodies expressed by some vocal harmonizing and amusive and quirky lyrics".
-Þorsteinn Árnason (bass and vocals)
Prepare yourself for a fuzzy journey through glaciers and geysers in your super-duper van because this volcano is about to erupt!
"Radical Waves" by Volcanova is out today on all digital platforms. The album is also available on 180g LP, "radical colored" 180g LP, and CD via The Sign Records.
