Australian progressive metal quintet, Voyager, has launched a guitar play-through video for the new song, “Breaking Down“, taken from the band’s upcoming album, V, due out June 2nd via Code 7 distribution. The video is streaming exclusively on GuitarWorld.com.
“Scott [Kay, rhythm guitar] and I just sat down and picked out the meatiest riffs and our best solos on the album to share with all our guitar-loving fans out there,” lead guitarist, Simone Dow, told GuitarWorld.com. “Good melody, build-up/anticipation and a lot of wide vibrato is my key to writing solos. Hope you all enjoy!”
The Kickstarter-funded, 13- track album, V, can be pre-ordered now via Bandcamp.
V was recorded at Templeman Audio with producer, Matt Templeman. The band calls the release “heavy, groovy and super-catchy. This is going to be pure, polished Voyager with a modern feel; we are insanely excited about unleashing this.”
With four 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.”
