Voyager guitarists Simone Dow and Scott Kay on being the first prog-metal band in the Eurovision Song Contest: "We love a little bit of cheese every now and then, so why not throw that in with a nice little mountaintop solo?"

Voyager

For more reasons than one, the glitzy stage of the Eurovision Song Contest isn’t necessarily where you'd expect to come across an Australian progressive metal band. But, come Saturday 13 May (assuming they make it through to the Grand Final), that’s exactly where you’ll find Voyager – the Perth based quintet whose genre-smashing feel-good romp, Promise, is guaranteed to cause spontaneous air guitar breakouts in living rooms from Reykjavik to Baku and beyond.

Synth-sational keytar wizardry comes courtesy of frontman Danny Estrin, while guitarists Simone Dow and Scott Kay work together to bring a battery of tag-team riffs and nifty fretboard workouts in an altogether fresh take on what can be achieved within the standard three-minute window that Eurovision entrants are afforded to showcase their skills.
