We're on the home stretch for Voyager's highly anticipated album Fearless in Love's debut on Friday (our review here), but one track we've been especially keen to hear from the Perth prog-metal-turned-Eurovision-superstars, is their collab with fellow Perth native, Sean Harmanis of Make Them Suffer - and today, the band have dropped their collab to tide us over.
Coming in strong with frontman Danny Estrin's alluring cleans, we're met with a sexy guitar riff reminiscent of the 80s soundtracks from shows such as Knight Rider or anything starring David Hasselhoff or Tom Cruise really! Their proggy undertones come out swinging in this single with plenty of breakdown-worthy moments throughout where guitarists Simone Dow and Scott Kay throw back and forth before leading into some metal machine gun sounding riffs, all the while Danny's performance takes us on a journey.
The crescendo comes with Sean Harmanis offering some guttural screams that take us through to the song's climax and while they're short and sweet, it's a fantastic nod to the Perth heavy music scene and the first chance both Kay and Harmais have had to collaborate since their pandemic duo-act Onslow dropped their self-titled EP unto the world in 2021.
Not long now until Voyager take over the world again with their eighth studio album, and going by their success so far, it's shaping up to be their best yet.
Stream the song at midnight local time and check back in at 8pm AEST for the premiere of the music video below!
