Band information
Voyager plays symphonic progressive metal. The band was formed in Perth around Nachthimmel's Estrin, who was playing guitar at the time, and Lovkis. De Vattimo from Psychonaut joined shortly after and when Baker left Estrin switched to keyboards. The band split for a few months in 2000 when Estrin went to Europe and Lovkis quit. In early 2001 the line-up consolidated with Callaghan and Greaig. Rudnicki joined Black Steel in early 2002 but left after only a few months and rejoined Voyager.
In 2003 the band recorded and released the Element V album before Greaig was replaced by Fiocco. Then late in 2005, Rudnicki and Callaghan were both fired from the band. Ex-Scourge guitarist Simone Dow and Vespers Descent/ex-Pathogen and Samain drummer Mark Boeijen subsequently joined Voyager in late 2005. The band toured Europe in 2006 and were booked to support Nevermore in Perth on their return however that show was cancelled, as was a subsequent support slot with Yngwie Malmsteen.
The band is completed and released the uniVers album during 2007 and Canion from Psychonaut replaced Fiocco ahead of its release.
