Los Angeles quartet, Volumes, recently announced their fifth album, Mirror Touch, will be digitally released on December 12, via Fearless Records. Physical copies arrive on February 27. The band have now shared the new single, “Bad Habit.” Watch the video for the new track in the article below.

“Bad Habit”  is a song about identifying that habits that are deemed bad for you or unhealthy are sometimes the only thing getting you through life,” shares vocalist Michael Barr. “Is there a balance that can be achieved? Typically, no.”

Here, Volumes make a stunning sonic left turn. While the track has the guitar girth and grit that is familiar to loyal Volumes fans, the band leans into its melodic sensibilities and synths, trading its usual heavy dose of screams for fully clean verses and choruses. The result is a gorgeous and unexpected alt metal song that will turn heads  — both new and old.

15 years into their career, Volumes have weathered ups, downs, time, trends, and everything else life could throw at them only to come out stronger on the other side. Against all odds, a devout audience has ridden shotgun and grown with them every step of the way, waiting for this moment.

Through a decade-and-a-half, Volumes’ quiet impact has been felt, with over 167 million streams in the U.S. alone, widespread acclaim, and sold-out shows. They’ve carved out their own corner of heavy music with an inimitable hybrid of head-crushing polyrhythmic prog-spiked metal, hardcore spirit, and unbridled attitude. They have assuredly leveled up over the course of albums such as Via [2011], No Sleep [2014], Different Animals [2017], and Happier? [2021]. Meanwhile, the group shared stages on tour with everyone from Ice Nine Kills and Born of Osiris to Dance Gavin Dance and Counterparts. The Los Angeles group continues to fortify a full-on sensory assault with thick riffing, chilling soundscapes, and the venomous bite of its incomparable two-headed vocal hydra.

Lineup:
