One Hundred Moons steps into darkness with “Volodya,” a tense and immersive new single from their forthcoming album Black Avalanche. Following the haunting allure of the album’s lead single, “Black Avalanche,” this track, which premiered on Indie Music Discovery, drifts into deeper, more ominous territory. Here, the instrumental takes the lead, each note a deliberate brushstroke painting a melancholic and enveloping landscape.
Synths cut like glass. Guitars swell beneath layers of reverb, building slowly into a brooding wall of sound. The track moves with an uneasy grace, echoing the emotive textures of Circa Survive without bending to prog-rock excess, instead leaving space for tension, atmosphere, and suspense.
“Volodya” is a study in tension and crescendo. The band lets sound tell the story, textures folding into one another, colours bleeding and merging in the listener’s imagination. There’s weight here, but also a strange beauty. It’s an invitation to lurk in the shadows and let the music settle deep.
With Black Avalanche on the horizon, “Volodya” offers a glimpse of the album’s expanse, a landscape where mood and melody collide, and One Hundred Moons charts a singular path through atmospheric terrain.
