Voidchaser, an international progressive death metal outfit – a link-up between Montreal in Canada and Stockholm in Sweden – have just released their second studio album, “Interstellar, I”. The album came out independently on April 10, 2026!
“Interstellar I”, the second full-length from the trio Voidchaser, tackles themes of technological ‘overload’, mass corruption, and personal struggles with identity, love, and survival, all playing out in a vast universe steeped in mythology
Style-wise, you can find quite a few parallels on this album with Devin Townsend’s “Ziltoid the Omniscient” or “Systematic Chaos” by the progressive metal gods Dream Theater. The band clearly loves to dig into the influences of the old days, when Deep Purple and Black Sabbath put rock and metal on the world map.
You can already order “Interstellar, I”.
