Vokonis is now streaming their massively progressive, riffy-as-hell new record Transitions. Aside from the fact that it rules and demands your full attention, it's also a very personal album for guitarist and vocalist Simona Ohlsson.
"Transitions is a vulnerable album for me. Obviously, it references myself and my transition, but it also reflects the band and how to adapt and transition into a new unit without Jonte," said Ohlsson. "This band always felt like me and him against the world, so Transitions is a reflection of how to navigate life as a band without one of its most important pieces.
"This new constellation of the band is something I never thought possible and though we never approached things like we had to fill the shoes of Jonte, we thought more of what we wanted to do moving forward. With adding another guitar into the mix, we certainly can let loose a bit more and I have also been able to challenge myself with my vocals and grow into something I never thought I could."
Transitions is out October 25. Pre-orders are available here.
