Volumes (band)
Volumes (sometimes stylized as VOLUMES) is an American progressive metalcore band formed in Los Angeles, California in 2009. The group currently consists of bassist Raad Soudani, vocalist Michael Barr, vocalist Myke Terry, and drummer Nick Ursich. Throughout the band's history, bassist Raad Soudani has remained the only constant member. They are currently signed to Fearless Records and have released four studio albums: Via (2011), No Sleep (2014), Different Animals (2017) and Happier? (2021). They have also released three EPs: The Concept of Dreaming (2010), Coming Clean (2019) and Bend(ed) (2022).
The band was founded in January 2009 by Daniel Braunstein and Diego Farias. Originally, the two planned to be just a studio project until it was insisted they form a full band upon hearing the first demo recordings, which were 30 second tracks consisting of just a riff or two. The two began searching for likeminded musicians in the area to further their heavy metal, hip hop, jazz and classical influenced music, and would go on to expand the band's line-up. Originally they intended to only have one vocalist. After completing their line-up, the band began work on their debut EP, The Concept of Dreaming, with an expected release date of December 2009. But production came to a halt when guitarist Daniel Braunstein decided to leave the band citing time constraints with university. He was soon replaced by guitarist Daniel Schwartz, and the band was able to continue working on their EP.
On September 29, 2009, the band was signed to Mediaskare Records, with vocalist Gus Farias stating that the band is "..stoked to announce that we have signed to Mediaskare Records, joining a great team and roster of bands we look up to". Along with the announcement of being signed, the band also revealed that their delayed EP, "The Concept of Dreaming" would be released on November 16, 2010.
On November 20, 2010, the band were announced to be a part of It Prevails' "Dollar Menu, Where's the Venue? Tour" in January 2011 with fellow acts Counterparts, Betrayal and Bermuda.
On February 1, 2011, the band was announced to be a part of the "New England Metal and Hardcore Festival" in Worcester, Ma. On May 15, Volumes were announced to be part of Arsonists Get All the Girls spring headlining tour with fellow bands A Plea for Purging, Lionheart and The Contortionist. On May 23, the band was announced to be part of the summer 'Slaughter Survivors Tour' with fellow metal acts Conducting from the Grave, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit and Rings of Saturn. On June 10, the band played a New Jersey show with metal acts Arsonists Get All the Girls and Failure in Vanity.
On August 24, the band released the first single "Affirmation of Ascension" from their forthcoming album and less than two weeks later on September 2, the band released their next single, "Edge of the Earth". The band would go on to release their debut studio album, Via through Mediaskare Records on September 27, 2011, with it reaching #1 on the iTunes Rock & Metal Charts. Later on, the band would release the music video for their song "Wormholes", which originally appeared on their debut EP – and was re-recorded for their debut album – on October 13.
On November 23, Barr was forced to leave the band's tour due to a back injury. Barr had the following to say: "If you haven't heard already, I unfortunately had to return home for the remainder of Thrash And Burn tour due to a severe and hazardous back injury requiring exclusive medical attention. Volumes will still be killing every show for the next 24 days. Please do not be discouraged, I will be back in full force soon. Thank you for all the support and kind comments, get out to the rest of the shows and have fun with my boys." By the end of 2011, drummer Chris Khoury departed the band, leading to Daniel Schwartz taking over the drums at live shows. Schwartz would also leave the band by the end of the year. In early 2012, they found a new permanent replacement drummer, Nick Ursich.
On November 19, 2012, the band was announced as part of Of Mice & Men 2013 headlining tour from January to February alongside Texas in July, Woe, Is Me and Capture the Crown. While on tour the band recorded a live music video featuring clean vocals from Woe, Is Me vocalist, Hance Alligood, and released the video on February 13, 2013.
