Album Review: Voyager - Ghost Mile

Voyager's versatility and personality have endeared the Perth act to a loyal audience which readily contributed to this album's crowdfunding campaign.

The faithful who pledged their hard-earned have been duly rewarded with polished melodic progressive metal gems. Perhaps a more ambient grower in parts than recent releases, there's nonetheless earworms littered throughout. Playing with collective hearts and heads, their grooves pack a hefty punch, juxtaposed by lush synths and stirring solos. Danny Estrin's engaging vocals afford To The Riverside, This Gentle Earth (1981) and the title track greater resonance. Sparingly utilised death grunts inject welcome counterpoints. Cerebral and emotionally striking, Ghost Mile is everything quality modern prog should be.
