Prepare for battle with War Mask—the third full-length studio album from Detroit's Voyag3r, and their most aggressive, dark, and dynamic instrumental opus to date. Expanding on the sonic palette established by Doom Fortress and Are You Synthetic?, War Mask pushes the power trio's signature sound into heavy, retro-futuristic territory, expertly bridging the gap between '70s progressive rock, '80s action/horror film scores, and modern synthwave. Enjoy crystal-clear digital playback that perfectly preserves the massive power-trio muscle and dynamic synth-rock production.
To capture their signature wall of sound, Voyag3r tracked War Mask entirely to 2” analog tape (MCI 24-track system)at Tempermill Studios in Ferndale, Michigan, running the signals through a custom, vintage 1977 Harrison 3232 console. This pure analog approach delivers an incredibly warm, punchy, and aggressive sonic character with organic tube-driven tones and spectacular high fidelity.
“Voyag3r mix it all with a prog rock finesse that puts the band into a category all their own... an all-out masterpiece of melody, nuance, and power trio muscle.” — Complex Distractions
