Produced, engineered and mixed by Steve Greene at the Battle Chamber Studio, Appearance of the Mysterious Traveler received this praise from Vehlinggo:

“Voyag3r’s seven-minute, multi-movement epic closes with a searing, multi-facted guitar solo that would make David Gilmour proud. It’s a damn shame when it fades out. I could easily have experienced another 10 minutes of this song, with each instrument taking turns with lead and support and seeing to it that I’m given the ability to transcend into something — to some celestial plane rife with revelations about the true meaning of myself, “the Self,” and perhaps even why we’re all here. I dunno. With Voyag3r, anything is possible.

Perhaps what Voyag3r leads the way on, and which the other artists help to move forward, is to give rise to a whole new meaning behind the title, “The Rise of the Synths.” It’s not merely that old and new synthesizer-driven music is becoming more popular than ever. It’s that it has the ability to allow for us to rise above and become our true selves.”

Voyag3r has previously sold out of all special edition variants of their albums, and produced a 2nd pressing of Doom Fortress. Two tracks from Doom Fortress, One’s True Intentions and Il Guanto Nero, were licensed for Rowdy Roddy Piper’s last film, entitled Portal To Hell, directed by Vivieno Caldinelli. Voyag3r also contributed an exclusive track, Appearance of the Mysterious Traveler, to the Lake Shore Records soundtrack album to the documentary film The Rise of the Synths, directed by Ivan Castell.

The post Voyag3r announce new album, War Mask, and share teaser trailer appeared first on Voyag3r (Official Site).

What makes this companion release possible is the documentary behind it all, which was primarily funded by an expansive crowdfunding effort. Director Ivan Castell and producer Javip Moreno are traveling the world interviewing both pioneering synth musicians and the artists inspired by them —  Drive artists Electric Youthand College; Miami Nights 1984; Com Truise; Dance with the Dead; Maethelvin; The Midnight; Betamaxx; Futurecop!, Kristine, OGRE, Carpenter Brut, Lazerhawk, Perturbator, Mitch Murder, and so many more.

Castell and Moreno are also interviewing music journalists, tour organizers, and others involved in the scene. For more information, read up on the documentary and its scope. It’s an inspiring endeavor.
