Thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered our album SYNÆSTHESIA on vinyl to date, your support means the world to us.
We previously listed this merchandise item as being available from mid-June based on the production timelines quoted to us by the manufacturers. As you well know, many best laid plans have been derailed in recent months due to the necessary restrictions put on day to day business by the New Zealand government to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
As a result the production of our vinyl release has been delayed by a month, and all pre-orders will now be shipped in the second half of July 2020.
We apologise for the delay, and will do everything we can to ship your order to you as soon as we are able.

about
The lyrics are based around trauma and change. Having everything reach breaking point and falling apart being the catalyst for seeing something greater and more powerful than you could have seen without that process. Life can be more beautiful after moving through something unpleasant than it could be if the struggle to see the sun had never happened.
Taking flight is the main visual I get from it. Two conflicting energies only existing because of each other. From destruction to empowerment
I see a great bird taking flight and lifting something from the jaws of defeat
lyrics
A blaze of light
And you're still with me
I feel you in the trees like rain
I hear you in my dreams
I am change
Change is coming, turning
My bright eyes bloom
You're part of the world again
Out of this empty room
I've thrown away some precious things
This beast just keeps me awake
I never seem to learn
I just feed
Listening to the devil speak to me
Change is coming, turning
My bright eyes bloom
You're part of the world again
Out of this empty room
So long
Get me out of this empty room
So long
I've had enough of this place
So rob and rid me of this burden
Let the sun shine down on my back again
Let the sun shine
Let the earth shimmer
Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform.
Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next. quantumquail
I am flashed and I am wondering why I did not recognize this band earlier. Looking forward to hearing more from this talented and innovative guys in the near future. The album is a must have! almaju
Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2021
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ
