Helium Vola is a German "Electro-Medieval" band founded in 2001 by Ernst Horn, who was also one of the founding members of Qntal. In the contract with Chrom Records Horn insisted on Helium Vola not being seen as a successor of Qntal nor being marketed as such. The band's name is Latin meaning "Fly, Helium" - a reference to the noble gas Helium which is used to fill balloons.

Helium Vola interpret medieval lyrics in Old High German, Middle High German, Latin, Provençal and Middle French language in a modern, electronic soundscape. Thereby danceable songs like "In Lichter Farbe Steht Der Wald" as well as pieces that are strongly based on samples (e.g. "Funerali" and "Iuvenes" on Helium Vola) are created.

    • Discography

    All albums published by Helium Vola are meant to be concept albums with a general theme.

    Helium Vola, with a mix of mostly medieval lyrics and news casts focuses on the shipwrecking of Russia nuclear submarine Kursk.

    The album Liod (Old High German: song) broaches the issue of a medieval woman's biography.

    Für Euch, die Ihr liebt is a double album. The first CD consists of love songs from various eras while the second CD features lyrics on darker themes such as death, greed and homophobia. It contains a version of "Die Moorsoldaten".

    Wohin? is a double album that represents a musical search for direction. The trend toward more complex ensemble pieces present on the previous albums continues and reaches a climax with the last piece in the style of ars subtilior. This album contains the first composition by Sabine Lutzenberger.
