Detroit proggers release a new one
Voyag3r set to release “Are You Synthetic?” on Friday, April 8 & share new track “Raise Your Shields” for streaming.
Detroit instrumental, synth-heavy rock trio Voyag3r (Voyager 3) return with their 2nd full-length album, entitled “Are You Synthetic?”. The 13-track album will be released worldwide via Bellyache Records and Battle Chamber Music on April 8.
“Are You Synthetic?” is the follow-up to 2014’s “Doom Fortress” and once again features album art by Detroit-based artist and Acid Witch singer Slasher Dave.
Voyag3r bring their blend of Synth/Space/Progressive/Rock to new heights with this ambitious concept album, which covers remote corners of metaphysics, theoretical space destinations, humanity’s origins and destiny, and plenty of music fit for vengeful/horrific space battles.
Raise Your Shields can be streamed via SoundCloud:
