Bio:

Great VoyageR is a greek heavy metal band founded in late 2012 in Nikaia, Piraeus by Antonis Mantzoros. He started to compose music in 2011 for a then unknown project, which set the foundation for the band's creation.Influenced by NWBHM and more generally by the british rock and metal music scene, the goal of Voyager has always been to leave their mark on the international discographic and touring map.However, until now it has been difficult to form a permanent lineup due to constant member changes. There have been some heavy transitional periods throughout the years, which had a toll almost leading to the dissolvement of the band in 2015.Nevertheless, there have also been creative periods during that time, for instance the release of the first demo version of Belphegor in 2014 and a live performance as support to Skyclad during that same year. During the search for members, which ultimately led to the current lineup, Great VoyageR released their first promo tape in 2018 titled "Set Sail", as well as several live local appearances.The band has changed their name from “VoyageR” to “Great VoyageR” during the year 2022. It also marks the achievement of an important milestone, as they have finished recording their debut album named after the band.Alive, strong and always moving forward, Great VoyageR will continue to chase the goals and dreams, which were the inspiration for their creation.

Album:

Under the name VOYAGER, this Greek band had already existed since 2012 as a project of Antonis Mantzoros, but for many years they had not recorded anything and this album is their debut, with the group changing their name to GREAT VOYAGER to distinguish themselves from other bands in the world bearing this name. The album was released on the well-known Sleaszy Rider label in March.Classical, traditional heavy metal is a speciality of Greek bands and this is the music that GREAT VOYAGER also presents. The proud, led in a calm, medium tempo 7th Seal, with a solemn melody and very good, expressive and dramatic vocals starts this LP. Belphegor is faster and stylistically there are a lot of references to classic British heavy of the 20th century, and the solo is styled decidedly to the aesthetics of early IRON MAIDEN. Blind the Night... Beautifully atmospheric, reflective, pensive, in the gently played first part, then they amp up the sound and it's epic and heroic in a Greek style. Selective, as are the previous compositions. And in Earth Was Made In Hell there are a lot of direct references to NWOBHM riffing solutions, but overall it's also chivalrous metal from Hellada, where the melodies of the stanzas are as successful as the chorus. The Chosen One also starts gently, though not as interesting as the previous track, but then the raw classical riffs take over and the vocals take over, beautifully dramatic and really Jim Zsasz is a vocalist who can do a lot! More epic in the triumphant Voyager - the band's flagship number and could there be anything more metal Hellenic? Of course not. Narrative, crushing riffs, majesty and monumentalism.And then there's again a bit of an arrangement reference to old IRON MAIDEN in Oppression, which suddenly goes from a rather harsh stanza to a magnificent, sublime and supremely melodic chorus. A couple of tempo changes and a super-fast solo goes into an almost ambient passage, and then epic, epic again!The guitarist plays mostly simple solos, the rhythm section plays uncomplicated stuff, although it seems that the technical potential of the leader bassist and drummer is greater than what they present here would suggest. These instrumental passages are somewhat ascetic at times, containing a lot of repetition, but when they are based on successful themes, it is a pleasure to listen to and without impatience. The sound is very good, while being absolutely traditional, with hissing drum beats and a clearly defined bass. No technical fireworks from the sound engineers and the authenticity of NWOTHM comes first here.Very traditional this is heavy metal, almost as ancient as the music of CRUSH. A great album from Hellada, based on a simple and sincere musical philosophy.
