Bio: Davola is one musician's take on extreme metal from a composer's perspective.

"Flesh eating metal from a psycho honkey"

— Cristian Machado and Laz Pina of Ill Nino, Description of Dichotomy by Davola

“Killer voice and guitar skills... ”

— Jimmy P., Reverbnation comment

“I dig your style, it's hard to find metal like that now days”

— IGZORDIUM, Twitter comment

“Yo man! Got that loud and clear. Horns up for the creation. I must admit. I have to listen to a new DAVOLA song like ten times once I get it. ”

— Lord Mallingus of Evolution Rock Radio, Personal E-mail

“One listen to Davola's Between the Buried and Me-meets-Strapping Young Lad galloping horse-style aggression on their debut EP, 'Dichotomy' and you might be wondering why you've never seen them on any tours. It might be because they are a new band, but it's more likely because Davola is not a 'they,' but a 'he.' The 'he' is Aaron Cloutier. ”

— Jay DiNitto, Noise Creep Online Magazine

“The Aaron's works always are rich in many musical subjects. In the compositions we will find features of death-metal, hard-core, math-core, groove-metal and nu-metal in style of NILE, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, SLIPKNOT, SEPULTURA. And even we will find folk-music traces. The Aaron's music always is very aggressive, rhythmical and dynamic as well as simultaneously is not devoid of the bit of melody, the darkness or even the nostalgia. In this music I adore the destructive wall of sound who gives strong kick connected with the melodious phrases or with the folk moods like in style of flamenco as well as in style of South American rhythms. However you should remember that these pauses are momentary in powerful gunfire of aggressive and heavy subjects.”

— Pawel Grabowski, Metal Center

“Album "Dichotomy" clearly shows that Aaron is decided in his way. In this music has not nor moment of hesitating, the every phrase is very good well-thought-out. And despite of this mixture of brutal sounds with melodious accents the whole is solid and coherent.”

— Pawel Grabowski, Metal Center

This has enabled us to step up our game while bringing HD quality mixes to Sound Wars.

The band is called DAVOLA, they are metal, and are the brain child of Aaron Cloutier (vocals/guitars). Comment & let us know what you think.”

Questions

Ask Davola anything...

Q: When do you expect to have new music out?

A: It's been a busy year as a session vocalist and guitarist as well as replacing the frontman for the NJ based metal band Saint Avarice but I'm finally getting back to work with Davola and will begin recording new music hopefully within the next couple of months. I intend to have something out by the end of 2012 but this record is dependent on my budget and needs the support of the people who want to hear it. I'm asking everyone out there if there is a demand for more music, please raise your voice and help support the making of this record by donating what you can to it. I will make a kickstarter account available for those who wish to help support the making of this new record.
