VOYAGER's peculiar and unique sound merges Amorphis’ thirst for melody, Soilwork’s heaviness and the crystal vocal clarity of A-Ha’s Morton Harket into a sound all their own. The Meaning of Iwas released in October via Sensory Records, in conjunction with the band's ultra-successful first tour on North American soil alongside labelmates Creation's End, including their stellar performance at ProgPower USA.

Interviews with VOYAGER are still available in advance of the upcoming tour, in addition to in-person at the forthcoming concerts alongside Rhapsody Of Fire.

"...an amazing album without a single dull moment anywhere in its entirety. 9.5/10" - Metal Delirium

"This album proves the heart of the genre still lies in experimentation honed down to cohesive, memorable songs. 8/10" - Blistering

"The Meaning of I is another winner from the band and Sensory, so if you are a progressive metal fan this one needs to be on your immediate radar. 4/5" - Sea of Tranquility
