Finnish symphonic metal band VOV returns with “Longing”, a fast, driving single built on groove, double-kick power and an anthemic chorus. The song keeps moving direct, physical and uplifting, while carrying a sharp emotional charge.
“Longing” captures the pull of a connection just out of reach. Desire and distance collide; hope stays alive, but it doesn’t come easy. The result is metal with momentum: melody and force pushing in the same direction.
Vocalist Karoliina McLoud delivers a focused, expressive performance that creates the core of the song. Teemu Harjunen’s guitar work drives the forward motion, Sami Halinen supports the impact with bass and keys, and Juha-Tapio Anttonen keeps the engine running with relentless, groove-first drumming.
Commenting on the release, Karoliina McLoud states:
“Longing is about a connection that feels destined yet painfully out of reach. The kind that consumes you and makes you question what’s real and what’s imagined.”
