Australian progressive metal quintet, Voyager, will release its fifth studio album, V, digitally worldwide on 2nd June 2014. Physical releases will be June 2nd in Aus (Bandcamp exclusive) / UK (Code 7), North America (Nightmare Records) on June 3 and June 27th (MBM) in Europe.The 13- track, 54 minute album was recorded at Templeman Audio with producer, Matt Templeman. The band calls the release “heavy, groovy and super-catchy. This is going to be pure, polished Voyager with a modern feel”. 'V' can be pre-ordered now via Bandcamp at: http://voyager.bandcamp.com/.
With 4 full-length albums under their belt and shows throughout North America, Europe and Asia with the likes of DEVIN TOWNSEND, CHILDREN OF BODOM, SOILWORK, NIGHTWISH, EPICA and ORPHANED LAND, the five-piece from Oceania is now firmly entrenched in its international repute as “the band who doesn’t sound like anyone else”.
With VOYAGER’s fourth opus “The Meaning of I” (2011) seeing reviews and international acclaim of the highest calibre (including #8 in METAL HAMMER Germany’s Soundcheck), VOYAGER took out the award for the longest signing session in the twelve year history of the PROGPOWER Festival in the USA. They are returning to Progpower Europe this year alongside Chimp Spanner, Pain of Salvation, Agent Fresco, Pagan’s Mind and more. With a fiery red keytar, a feisty female guitarist and concerts described as “amazing chemistry blending pop with heavy, technical and progressive riffs”, VOYAGER are consistently a live force to be reckoned with.
DEFTONES’ Chino Moreno recently likened singer Danny Estrin’s vocals to DURAN DURAN’s Simon LeBon. With this pop vibe and a healthy dose of heavy guitars, VOYAGER’s new album ‘V’; funded by a Kickstarter campaign, proves what the band does best: heavy, super-catchy, melodic, modern and progressive. From polished heavy grooves to driving riffs and unforgettable melodies, album ‘V’ contains 13 genre-defying tracks bound to be the absolute zenith of VOYAGER’s career. With a new look and a new album, this is the right time to say “I Am Voyager”.
