V.O.L

Fighting in the archaic SA music industry

About Me



V.O.L is a band spawned out of the love for creating interesting and new music. Intent on producing an eclectic mix between old and nu-school metal V.O.L are fresh and willing to fight to get their music out there.
The band was instigated in 2003 by original drummer Arthur Pereira who felt there was a gap in the SA music scene and that V.O.L would be the band to fill it. He only did two gigs with the band before moving to the UK whereupon V.O.L then took up the talent of 12th Avenue drummer Bradley Masson, who filled the seat perfectly. Bradley continued to play with the band until late August 2004, whereupon Arthur returned to resume his duties.

V.O.L is a band that just wants to have FUN and ROCK THE WORLD!!

Mission Statement: Never take anything for granted. We are all here for a reason.
