AUSTRALIA'S VOYAGER HONORED BY PERTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WITH STUNNING PERFORMANCE OF 'PROMISE' AHEAD OF BAND'S EUROVISION DEBUT

Today, Australian electronic rock outfit Voyager have been honored by the Perth Symphony Orchestra’s INNEKA with a stunning performance of their song “Promise” ahead of their long-awaited Eurovision debut. The epic string arrangement features incredible electric cello, violin, and viola solos backed by a breathtaking view from Perth’s Optus Stadium and is an incredible show of support for band.

Voyager will perform last in semi-final 2 of Eurovision on Thursday, May 11^th at 3 pm EST/12 pm PST which can be viewed HERE. More information on the broadcast and how to watch the competition can be found via Eurovision’s website or this recent story from Billboard. For the first time in Eurovision’s history, fans from the United States are eligible to vote for their favorites HERE.

“Perth Symphony are beyond excited to send this gift of love and support to Voyager from our beautiful home in the most isolated city in the world. Australia will be cheering you on and could not be prouder of you all, rocking it out on the world stage. GOOD LUCK VOYAGER!” – Creative Director – Perth Symphony Orchestra, Fiona Campbell

“We’re truly speechless after seeing this incredible show of support from the Perth Symphony Orchestra and our beautiful State. This epic string version of our song “Promise” moved us to tears and we cannot be prouder to be ambassadors for Australia, Aussie music and particularly our incredible WA music scene!” – Voyager

Last week, Voyager announced their first album in four years, Fearless In Love, will be released July 14^th via Season of Mist. The album’s sweeping vocals paired with emotive lyrics inspired by the grit and glam of 80s and 90s film overlay heavy guitar riffs and percussion to create a sonic journey that pushes the boundary of what fans have come to expect from Voyager. Fearless In Love is available for pre-order HERE.

In bursts of bright light, luminous keys, neon guitar wizardry, and stratosphere-shaking rhythms, Voyager elevate hard rock to another realm. The Perth, Australia quintet—Danny Estrin [vocals], Simone Dow [guitar], Scott Kay [guitar], Alex Canion [bass], and Ashley Doodkorte [drums]—blast off on a signature hybrid of prog, rock, and metal possibly best described as the musical equivalent of Guardians of the Galaxy. This cohort of dynamic talents and personalities initially crash-landed stateside for a now-renowned performance at the 2011 ProgPower USA Festival in Atlanta, GA. Since then, they’ve unleashed a string of fan favorite albums—V [2014], Ghost Mile [2017], and Colours in the Sun [2019]—in addition to sharing stages with the likes of Rhapsody of Fire and Evergrey. Australia notably handpicked Voyager as its entrant into the global Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with “Promise.” The Guardian hailed the buzzing single as “a pop number that bends the genre with trademark riffs, climactic guitars and keytar solos,” and it crashed the Top 3 of the Australian Independent Label Singles Chart. They even appeared on TODAY Australia to wave the metal flag by teaching daytime TV hosts black metal growls, as plugged by Metal Injection! Now, Voyager take flight like never before on their forthcoming eighth full-length LP, Fearless In Love, and much more to come.
