It’s an exciting time for Perth band Voyager . Fresh off their ninth-place finish in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest ( recap here ) , the band embarked on a sold out Australian tour ( gig review here ) ahead of the release of eighth album Fearless in Love . They’ve timed the release beautifully to take advantage of the mainstream press that Eurovision brought them, but there’s a question of whether the new fans that ‘Promise’ has attracted will be into a full LP of synth-prog-metal. After all, ‘Promise’ noticeably turns down the heavy riffs compared to their back catalogue, so Fearless in Love has the delicate job of acknowledging long-time punters and satisfying those looking for a post-Eurovision fix. Thankfully the band is up to the task. 

Even though it doesn’t pop up until the album’s second half it is worth reviewing ‘Promise’ first. It’s easily my most streamed song of 2023 and elicits the same sing-a-long in my car that it did when it was released. The energy that Voyager put into on stage in Liverpool rubs off and the guitar solo into the keytar lick still rules. It is quite simply a banger and builds to the final minute where we can get a juicy breakdown and growl from Alex. It’s worth noting it is the same version that has been a single without any additional embellishments. As far as album centrepieces go, it is hard to beat. 

Those new to the Voyager world will be asking if there is anything to back up  ‘Promise’ and um, deliver on the, uh, promise of that tune. Their Australia Decides 2022 contender ‘Dreamer’ is here as the next track for Eurovision fans. It’s heavier than ‘Promise’ but has another great emotional hook. It builds through the synth but is much quicker to showcase the band’s metal riffs, making it a great bridge between their core sound and synth-pop leanings. The breakdown is more badass than I remember and Danny’s vocals are arguably even bigger. It certainly grabs your attention and holds it for the three minutes. 

There’s plenty of album tracks that scratch the 80s synth itch. ‘Ultraviolet’ sounds like a song from a Tom Cruise movie that time forgot with a quick tempo and a drum sound that owes more than a debt to Dire Straits . It’s got some gnarly modern guitar and a screamy cameo from fellow Perth native, Sean Harmanis of Make Them Suffer , who joins the party with an ominous growl.  It captures the glorious collision of influences in a way only Voyager can. ‘The Lamenting’ mines similar 80s vibes in a ballad form that serves as a nice change of pace, even if the hook isn’t as memorable as some of the other songs. Likewise ‘Daydream’ is more pop-rock than metal and would be a great single that will appeal to fans of ‘Promise’ . 

As an album Fearless in Love isn’t so much of a shift from their previous work, but a continued evolution from Colours in the Sun (2019). The fans who have been on the journey with them for twenty years will get a kick out of first track ‘The Best Intentions’ as it drips with spaced-out prog synths and keys. It jumps straight into the most recent single, ‘Prince of Fire’ , which is unmistakably a metal song with chunky djent riffs. Their great strength as a band is their ability to create a sonic scene that suits the lyrics, painting a musical picture that implants an image in your head. ‘Prince of Fire’ is a bleak dystopia, particularly when compared to the previously mentioned singles, capturing the solitude of the song’s protagonist. There is a cool interlude though so Danny can get his croon on before the big note. 

As far as prog-metal albums go, Voyager have loaded this with anthems. ‘Submarine’ has all the markings of an odd novelty song with a cute riff and big hook. The solo echoes Queen’s Brian May with Simone Dow dropping all sorts of tricky taps and whammy bends. But it’s a little darker than that when it gets to the final stanza and Alex screams that he is “coming up for air” . If there’s another Guardians of the Galaxy movie, this should be the end credits tune.

‘Twisted’ is a more electro take on prog-metal but also has a massive inspirational chorus that will play well live. ‘Listen’ also gets the Queen vibe right with plenty of guitar hero action. (Or as my wife just observed, it sounds a bit like Ghost , which is not a bad thing in my house.) Longtime fans will also get a kick out of the final track ‘Gren (Fearless in Love)’ . It’s much more of a traditional prog song with ethereal keys that sound transcendent in that space rock way. 

Voyager have successfully walked the tightrope between drawing in new fans from their Eurovision run, while rewarding longtime followers for their devotion. Fearless in Love has enough riffs, synths and hooks to catch the ear of anyone with a passing interest in 80s style rock and metal without ever sounding like a complete vintage act. It is certainly epic and accessible and demands a bigger audience than their recent club tour. I dare say I’ll be singing its praises among the best albums of the year.

Voyager's Top 10 favourite songs from their back catalogue

Voyager are a familiar name to Eurovision fans - being both the Australian Eurovision representitives this year and participating in the Australian national final 'Eurovision - Australia Decides' in 2022. For many of us, 'Dreamer' and 'Promise' might have been the only Voyager songs to have graced our ears...today that's going to change!

The Perth based progressive metal bands career spans over four decades, seven albums and dozens of songs - there is no shortage of ripper Voyager tunes to sink your teeth into!

In some exciting news - they've announced an eigth album 'Fearless in Love' - details here .

We went to the band members Simone (Guitars), Ash (Drums), Alex (Bass & backing vocals), Scott (Guitars) and Danny (Vocals and keytar) and asked them: "Which three songs from Voyager's back catalogue do you think fans should check out?" and these were some of their suggestions:

'Ascension': Ghost Mile (2017)

Track Number: #1

"If it’s our best songs for grabbing a listener's immediate attention, I’d say 'Ascension' from our sixth album Ghost Mile" -Simone

"You can’t really go wrong with 'Ascension'; it’s still one of my favourite songs to play live." -Scott

'Broken': The Meaning of I (2011)

Track Number: #4

"Before I was a member of the band, I got hooked on the song 'Broken', it’s a great modern-sounding fusion of EDM and metal that’s become a big part of our sound." - Ash

'Prince of Fire': Flearless in Love (2023)

Track Number: #2

Fresh off their new album 'Fearless In Love' set to release July 14 2023. The new album will also feature previously released singles 'Submarine' and their Australia Decides 2022 entry 'Dreamer' .

Pre-save and pre-order 'Fearless In Love' here .

'Severomance': Colours in the Sun (2019)

"'Severomance' is a song that really gets under my skin and gives me the feels." - Ash

'Close Your Eyes': I Am the Revolution (2009)

Track Number: #5

"'Close Your Eyes' is a song that the band wrote before I joined, and I think it’s amazing. The chorus has this awesome vocal layering that sent chills down my spine the first time I heard it." - Scott

'To the Morning Light': Element V (2003)/'The Morning Light': V (2014)

Track Number: #2 (Element V) & #11 (V)

"'To The Morning Light ' was the first Voyager song I ever heard, and we re-recorded it for our fifth album, V . It’s a Voyager classic, yet still encapsulates what Voyager does even today." - Scott

'Misery is Only Company': Ghost Mile (2017)

"I’m very proud of the song 'Misery is Only Company', the chorus is so anthemic and the song is quite intricate under the surface." -Ash

'Sober': from Univers (2007)

Recommended by the enthusasic bassist and backing vocalist Alex who gave us MANY song suggestions. Fair enough - with a back catalouge like Voyager's it's almost impossible to choose just a handful!

'Colours': from Colours in the Sun (2019)

Track number: 1

"I’d say 'Ascension' from our sixth album Ghost Mile, 'Hyperventilating' from our fifth album V and probably ' Colours ' from our last album Colours in the Sun. All three are tunes that have stayed in our set list since releasing, and not just because they are fan favourites, but some of our favourites to play live too and really encapsulate everything that makes a Voyager tune." -Simone

At Eurovison

The band have been busy rehearsing for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Export .pt model to .engine

• All commands are executed in the console window:
• First, go to the aimbot directory using the command:
• Then export the model from the .pt format in .engine format.
• model="model_path/model_name.pt" : Path to model.
• format=engine : TensorRT model format.
• half=true : Use Half-precision floating-point format.
• device=0 : GPU id.
• workspace=8 : GPU max video memory.
• verbose=False : Debug stuff. Convenient function, can show errors when exporting.

Notes / Recommendations

• Limit the maximum value of frames per second in the game in which you will use it. And also do not set the screen resolution to high. Do not overload the graphics card.
• Do not set high graphics settings in games.
• Limit the browser (try not to watch YouTube while playing and working AI at the same time, for example (of course if you don't have a super duper graphics card)) and so on, which loads the video card.
• Try to use TensorRT for acceleration. .pt model is good, but does not have as much speed as .engine .
• Turn off the cv2 debug window, this saves system resources.
• Do not increase the object search window resolution, this may affect your search speed.
• If you have started the application and nothing happens, it may be working, close it with the F2 key and change the show_window option to True in the file config.ini to make sure that the application is working.
