VOYAGER NOMINATED FOR PROG MAGAZINE’S PROGRESSIVE MUSIC AWARDS 2014 ‘BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST’ Fifth album “V” out now |
|
AUSTRALIA – Australian progressive metal quintet, Voyager, has been announced as a nominee for ‘Breakthrough Artist’ in PROG Magazine’s Progressive Music Awards 2014 presented by Orange Amplification. Fan voting is now open online at:http://awards.progmagazine.com/.
In its short but illustrious history, The Progressive Music Awards has received both critical and public acclaim for acknowledging and celebrating one of the most successful but unsung genres of music. Previous award recipients include Rick Wakeman and Ian Anderson as Prog Gods in 2012 and 2013 respectively, along with other million-selling rock legends such as Genesis, Carl Palmer, Rush and Hawkwind’s Dave Brock also being recognized. It has also awarded up-and-coming artists such as TesseracT, Sound Of Contact and Big Big Train who have all gone from strength-to -strength since picking up awards.
‘Breakthrough Artist’ nominee, Voyager, released its fifth album, V, on June 3 in North America with distribution through Nightmare Records. The Kickstarter-funded, 13- track album can be purchased now on Bandcamp at: http://voyager.bandcamp.com/ or via the Nightmare Records webstore at: http://www.nightmarerecords.com/online-store/voyager-v-special-slip-case.
V was recorded at Templeman Audio with producer, Matt Templeman. The band calls the release “pure, polished Voyager with a modern feel; we are insanely excited about unleashing this.”
The new music video for “Hyperventilating” can be seen on YouTube at:http://youtu.be/RrBF0mhz1ho.
 1. Hyperventilating
2. Breaking Down 3. Beautiful Mistake 4. Fortune Favours the Blind 5. You, the Shallow 6. Embrace the Limitless 7. Orpheus 8. Domination Game 9. Peacekeeper 10. It’s a Wonder 11. The Morning Light 12. Summer Always Comes Again 13. Seasons of Age
With five full-length albums under its 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 a band with heavy grooves, driving riffs and unforgettable melodies.The band’s fourth opus, The Meaning of I (2011), saw rave reviews and international acclaim of the highest caliber (including #8 in Metal Hammer Germany’s ‘Soundcheck’). The U.K.’s, Classic Rock Presents Prog, called the album a “polished collection of heavy, heavily polished anthems.”
Complimented by a fiery red keytar, a feisty female guitarist, and vocals Chino Moreno (Deftones, Crosses) recently likened to Duran Duran’s, Simon Le Bon, Voyager is consistently a live force to be reckoned with. After breaking the record for the longest fan signing session in the 12 year history of America’s “Progpower Festival,” the band will return to “Progpower” Europe this year alongside Chimp Spanner, Agent Fresco, Pagan’s Mind and more. -###-
