Review/pics from the March
31 gig in Sydney with LORD:
"Transcending Mortality were impressive as always, Voyager provided one of the most entertaining sets that I and most of the crowd had seen from an interstate band in a long time (including a killer piss-taking medley
as their final 'song' and some unbelievable vocal virtuosity), and LORD's set went off without a hitch. The large, fiery crowd were treated to a spectacular evening of entertainment"— Pyromusic

- 8/10 "Voyager
is a new metal band from down under, which was founded
in 1999 by Adam Lovkis (drums), Mark Baker (keyboards)
and Danny Estrin (vocals, guitar). Guitar wizard Mark
De Vattimo, well known from the successful Kiss tribute
band KariSSma joined the band and later on Geoff Callaghan(drums),
Daniel Estrin (keyboards) and Melissa Fiocco (bass guitar)
replaced the other guys, making the perfect line-up for
this promising new band. The music that you hear on this
album can best be described as a mix of power metal, progressive
music, melodic rock and groovy twin guitar sounds. This
blend of different music styles makes the sound of Voyager
rather unique, although I hear certain influences of Italian
power metal bands like for instance Labyrinth or the German
rock band Dreamscape. The album opens with a classical
intro, followed by guitar riffs and solos, a perfect opener.
"To The Morning Light" is a diverse metal track
with rather weird vocals, followed by "Cosmic Armageddon
Part 1", which starts with beautiful keyboards and
guitar melodies and in the middle Mark De Vattimo plays
a ferocious guitar solo. Further highlights are "The
Ancient Labyrinth" (with folkloristic themes), "The
5th Element" ( a great instrumental), "Kingdoms
Of Control"(with Oriental influences) and "The
Eleventh Meridian"( a prog metal song with melodic
twin guitar solos). A bit weird, or out of place, are
songs like "Towards Uncertainty" (intermezzo
with only keys and vocals), "Miseria" (a capella
sung) and the rather boring last song "Echoes Of
Old Terra" (acoustic guitar and background keys only).
All in all a promising debut of a highly original band,
which could be accessible to a wide range of fans. Give
it a shot and listen for yourself if you will embrace
Voyager as the most promising new metal band from Australia."
