Doom Fortress is the debut album from Detroit's Voyag3r (pronounced Voyager Three). Voyag3r are a synth based instrumental rock band that draws inspiration from sci-fi, horror, action soundtrack music from the 70's & 80's. Voyag3r have set out to create dynamic, epic, moody and atmospheric sounds intended to inspire. This experimental rock sound is like a movie-less score or the soundtrack to a far away mysterious journey. Voyag3r forge their sound with a multitude of analog synthesizers, acoustic drums and electric guitar.

Doom Fortress was recorded using vintage analog synths, electric guitar through vintage tube amplification and maple shell acoustic drums. All music was recorded to 2" analog tape (MCI JH-24 2" Analog 24-Track w/ALIII remote) through various vintage pre-amps and a 1977 Custom Harrison 3232 console for maximum authenticity and spirit in capturing this classic sound.

All Songs Written And Performed By Voyag3r
Produced By Voyag3r
Recorded At The Tempermiil Studios, Ferndale, Mi January - May 2014
Engineered, Mixed And Mastered By Tony Hamera
Cover Art By Slasher Dave

Gold vinyl appears sold out at bellyache... is there another link where we can buy it from?

Also, is there any European distribution to save paying as much in postage to abroad as the vinyl costs?

Thanks!

I ordered mine the day it was put up for preorder...I can definitely vouch that these guys make GREAT music! If you're preordering from Bellyache, and they still have the 7" for sale from Voyag3r...you guys need to grab it too!

and on that note - this is probably ill-advised (never show your sketches!) : below is a work in progress bit of music, with hefty nods to Herrmann and DeVorzon. Unmixed, it's gonna change a lot eventually, but what the heck. Thought it might be interesting to share. I very recently started using a completely new set up for fooling around with this stuff...

That Voyag3r LP is interesting, gave it a try on bancamp earlier today. I'm gonna listen to it a few more times to make my mind but I'm quite tempted to buy it.

@Disco : That's very nice man, very nice.

I have to say this is really a great release! I got the tape a couple weeks ago and it has been in rotation since. Still waiting on the record to arrive (I think it was bundled with the new Slasher Dave LP).

Purple LP looks cool. This is a solid album, highly recommend picking up a copy of this 2nd pressing if you missed the first!

Yeah, that purple is gorgeous. For those who haven't this up yet, you're out of excuses. :)
