About Me

.. ..

(JUNE 2009) VOLITIAN - Bass Recording Complete, Currently Recording Vocals..

.. ..Who are we and what are we doing?VOLiTiAN is a band formed in January '07 who are fast growing synonomous with the genre of "progressive groove metal" incorporating various styles and influences from early Megadeth, Metallica, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Rage Against The Machine, Mudvayne, Tool & Rush right upto the latter day Killswitch Engage, Soilwork, Nonpoint, Element Eighty, Static-X, Disturbed. But it doesn't stop there, by adding in elements from random other musical influences we've formulated what is essentially something that no-one has been able to truly pinpoint which we can only hope and assume is a good thing :-)
The progressive elements involve a dabbling in odd time signatures seamlessly integrating those into diverse and complex yet easily absorbed phrasing providing a texture rich and involving musicality throughout each song.
The groove feel of each track means that you'll never be left watching the music happen, you'll be finding yourself starting at the initial "headbop" or "foot-tap" moving right onto the full on "throw yourself into the music with no regards for your own safety" type body movements
The "Metal" aspect delivers exactly what you've come to know and love, searing riffs filled with "down and dirty" basslines, coupled with rhythms that always leave you craving more...
All in all, we're focussed yet loose, we're complex yet satisfying and moreover we're diverse but yet ultimately appealing to many a lover of the heavier stuff, so what can you expect from us apart from all of this? People who are approachable, true music lovers and hoping to push the UK metal scene back to being a proper evening out and a show to enjoy! Hope to see you at one of our gigs soon!
