Danny Estrin (vocals) says this about the new single "Ascension sets the mood for Voyager's the new album ' clean and polished yet raw and organic, progressive yet catchy, modern yet quintessentially Voyager. The song is upliftingly melancholic and plays with major and minor keys to give a sense of unease and the constant struggle of trying to achieving the trivial, yet seemingly impossible."

VOYAGER'S sensationally anthemic 6th opus has an amalgamation of everything the band does best- huge soundscapes, pop and prog sensibilities with catchy and thought-inducing instrumentals. The album was mixed by Matthew Templeman and mastered by Simon Strutters and maintains the production that was such a successful selling point for their album 'V'.
Maintaining their adamance for fan loyalty and interaction- VOYAGER have launched a Pledge Music campaign where fans can pre-order the new album, which is set for a May 12th release. Pledgers will have access to exclusive information and signed merchandise by the band. Any pledges will contribute to the completion of the production and manufacturing of the album which is set to be their best yet.

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.
In June 2014, Voyager released their fifth opus; the internationally critically acclaimed 'V'. Their new album received incredible reviews from media outlets such as Metal Hammer, Prog Magazine, Classic Rock Magazine and Revolver Magazine. In addition, 'V' entered the top 20 on the CMJ US Loud Rock Charts and led Voyager to receiving a nomination for the 'Breakthrough Artist' award at the 2014 Prog Magazine Music Awards and an invitation to appear at Bigsound 2014.
'V' also saw Voyager perform at major festivals such as ProgPower USA, Euroblast Festival in Germany and the prestigious ProgPower Europe Festival in The Netherlands. They also shared the stage with the likes of Deftones, Opeth, Leprous, Protest The Hero, Nightwish, Epica, Oceans of Slumber and Coheed and Cambria over the course of V's album cycle.
Having ended 2016 with a bang touring Australia with DEFTONES and KARNIVOOL, receiving a WAM award for 'Best Heavy Act', and already being invited to once again play Euroblast and headline Progpower EU in 2017, it's looking to be their biggest year yet with the upcoming release of 'GHOST MILE'.
