Following a successful launch back in May, Metal Injection’s virtual Slay at Home fest has returned as a monthly installment! The October set will feature virtual performances from electro prog sensation VOYAGER and progressive grunge rockers GARGOYL. More information is available HERE.
This month’s Slay At Home is set to stream live FREE on Friday, October 23 at 3:00 P.M. EDT // 9:00 P.M. CEST, via the Metal Injection YouTube page in support of the Cancer Research Institute.
The episode will be in honor of Frank Godla Sr. (father of Slay at Home’s founder), Eddie Van Halen, and Frankie Banali of Quiet Riot, who have recently passed away from cancer. This will also benefit Entombed‘s LG Petrov who is currently battling cancer and collecting funds for medical attention.
VOYAGER will be supporting the re-release of 2017’s ‘Ghost Mile’ as well as 2019’s ‘Colours in the Sun,’ the latter of which was the winner of The Independent Music Award in the Rock/Hard Rock Album category. ‘Colours in the Sun’ was released in November of 2019 and landed a coveted #1 placement on the Australian Independent Albums chart! ‘Colours in the Sun’ also debuted at #7 on Independent Label Albums as well as #27 on Official iTunes Australia.

About VOYAGER:
VOYAGER explodes like a supernova onto the worldwide stage with their new album ‘Colours In the Sun’. The Australians radiate an ultra-modern and prismatic hard rock that delivers on their promise of “epic electro progressive power pop metal.” Each of the albums ten tracks are bright, vibrant hook-laden affairs that resonate long after listening. VOYAGER deliver the perfect storm of modern hard rock song craft, and ‘Colours In the Sun’ is a vivid, uplifting, and exhilarating album experience.
