ABOUT VOYAGER
Destined for longevity and worldwide success, Perth based quintet Voyager recently signed their first worldwide recording contract with Season of Mist following the release of their 6th opus Ghost Mile. Ghost Mile saw dedicated fans contribute to the band’s Pledge Music campaign in 2017, reaching the band’s goal in just a little over a week.
In March 2019, Voyager revealed a statement video single ‘Brightstar’ in the lead up to their main stage Download Festival Australia performance.
‘Brightstar’ builds from an 80’s inspired synth based intro to a stratospheric new-romantic chorus, enlightening fans with melodies and harmonies that build up to the track’s apex that is out of this world.

‘Brightstar’ features on the forthcoming album. Details to be announced soon.
Directed by Red Empire Media, Voyager’s Perth-fect music video encompasses the quintessential nature of Western Australia, displaying the relationship between science, art, and nature. With a montage of drone footage taken from Parkes, CSIRO and MRO Space Satellite sites across Western Australia, Voyager explores the synergy of how science and creative expression go hand in hand.
Danny Estrin, frontman for Voyager says this about the allegory behind his lyrics
“Brightstar is about the power of rationality, of the importance of science as an art, of facts, of the demise of empirical evidence in favour of blind belief in idols who spit forth a torrent of nonsense and generally about not believing in something or someone because it’s shiny and bright and promises a warm blanket of comfort.”

Having toured the world a few times over and having shared the stage with names such as Deftones, Leprous, Nightwish, Coheed and Cambria, as well as headlining a number of festivals including opening the main stage at Download Festival Australia 2019, Voyager are back with a taste of what’s to come. The band’s versatile sound sees them complement a multiplicity of line-ups, and attract the love and attention of a wide demographic of fans.

WHAT THE MEDIA SAY ABOUT VOYAGER

“Having toured with acts like Deftones in their homeland we see a group who are seriously honed as a live act and with a set of songs that are a noticeable step up from the usual metal crowd. Very promising, very impressive.”
– Metal Hammer
“Whether it’s a decade-old powerhouse or a newer entry, every song in Voyager’s packed setlist resonates with luscious singalongs, permeating percussion and rock-solid riffs”
– Prog Magazine
“The standout track was new single Brightstar, which segued from ’80s pop glory to a prog-metal workout.”
– The Music

If there is one word to describe Voyager’s most current form, it is colourful. Voyager have truly come into their own in recent years, crafting a path of success both on and off stage. Most recent performances include an almost sold out headline tour across Australia, opening main stage Download Festival Australia, and a national Australian tour with Twelve Foot Ninja.
Voyager have now announced a short trip to the Northern Hemisphere in September 2019 to get heads turning in preparation for their forthcoming album.
Album details and pre-orders will be announced in due course via the band’s new label Season of Mist.
The band’s expedition commences at Space Rocks, where Voyager are set to put on an out of this world performance. They join Anathema and Amplifier in the Space Rocks Live session and will perform at the Indigo2.
Following this festival, the band will perform their own intimate headline show at London’s 229 followed by shows in Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester, before heading to Euroblast (Germany) and Progpower Festival (Netherlands).
Danny Estrin, vocalist and keytarist of Voyager muses about coming back to Europe, saying
“We’re coming back to give Europe a taste of what’s to come for our new album. Just a taste though. Two London performances in two nights? Challenge accepted. Returning to two of our favourite festivals? Accepted. And just how could we turn down performing alongside Anathema at the prestigious Indigo2 where the Metal Hammer Golden Gods have been held? Well, the answer is that we couldn’t – so we’ll be seeing you all very soon for a special run of intimate shows in the UK to prepare everyone for our new album. It’s going to be colourful.”

The genre-transfiguring act blend new-romantic and 80’s infused vocals, keytar solos, technical yet melodic fretwork, groovy bass and bombastic drumming efforts. All of which make Voyager the pop/prog/power/rock/metal force that they are renowned as today.
