Australian, Eurovision-smashing prog metallers Voyager know a thing or two about keyboards. So, ahead of the band's new album Fearless In Love arriving on July 14 via Season Of Mist, we got frontman and Voyager synth master himself, Danny Estrin, to pick out ten classic metal anthems that prove, once and for all, that keyboards can be cool too.
"When Voyager started, keyboards and synths in metal were a big 'no-no' in metal, especially in Australia," Estrin explains. "Alchemist were the only band doing it at the time and the fact that our albums were absolutely oozing with synths made it a little difficult to push through the almost jingoistic “no-keyboard land” diatribe that was around then. Here are a few tracks which stand out as absolute keyboard-driven bangers, some cheesy and playful, some just eerie and beautiful. Keyboards in metal? Yes please!"
