News : Voyager release new music video + national tour dates
Perth based prog metal heroes, Voyager have released a new promotional video to tie in the with the release of the band’s forthcoming new album Ghost Mile. The new music video, ‘Ascension’ is a well polished, progressive and catchy track which will no doubt set the tone for the new album, due for release on March 12th in Australia.
Voyager drummer, Ashley Doodkorte shares his thoughts on the new album:
“The tracks on GHOST MILE embrace some of the more idiosyncratic aspects of our playing and songwriting – all of us are pushing our instrumentation to places they haven’t visited as much in the past, while still maintaining the hallmarks of our sound – and the results continually surprise and delight us! Like never before, this new album really feels like the sum of all of our influences, ideas and personalities.”
Earlier this month Voyager announced a new crowd funding pre-order campaign to fund the new album. Within 24 hours of the campaign going live, Voyager successfully raised more than 50% of their total goal. As it stands, Voyager are at 90% of their campaign goal with 53 days remaining on the campaign. To find out more details on the Ghost Mile campaign, click this link.
In addition, Voyager fans won’t have to wait long to see the band in the flesh for a national album launch tour this May with special guests, The Algorithm.
