History

[edit]

Formation, The Concept of Dreaming and Via (2009–2013)

[edit]

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.[1][2] 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.[3][4] 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.[5][6][7][8]

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.[18]

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."[19] By the end of 2011, drummer Chris Khoury departed the band, leading to Daniel Schwartz taking over the drums at live shows.

Bassist Soudani declared that "...Coming Clean is an emotional moment for us" and that "...I hope you feel something when you hear it and gain some perspective. This is Volumes. Coming Clean hints at where we're headed in the future."[53][54] On May 9, the band released a music video for the song "Until the End", directed by Joshua Fu.[55][56]

On December 16, vocalist Gus Farias addressed his departure from the band releasing the following statement: "I just want to make it clear that I did not quit. I love being in the band. I got kicked out for personal bullshit, which really is bullshit. I'm gonna be the bigger man and not air out business like that. I got a check, I secured my royalties. I'm out. I'm putting me first. I'm putting everything I got into Yogi. I know what it took to get Volumes where it's at because I had a big, big, big part in it...".[57] Farias later wrote to Twitter in January to chastise the band over Michael Barr rejoining Volumes.[58]

We are trying to cope and process this as it all seems so surreal. We send our love and thoughts to his brothers Gus and Andres, his mother and father, and his entire extended family.

Controversy

Some crowd members ganged up on Barr, at which point security had arrived to the situation and ultimately escorted Barr from the venue. After being denied access back inside when attempting to re-enter the venue, Barr allegedly shouted pejorative slurs at the concert promoter working the door.[75] The band was still not allowed at the venue when they returned to the area three years later with a new vocalist.[76]
