VYGR

Sludge, Doom, Metal band from Boston, MA Blending the drone and gloom of bands such as Cult of Luna, Swallow the Sun, and Neurosis with downtuned riffs reminiscent of Crowbar and Old Man Gloom, VYGR (pronounced 'Voyager') adds their own experimental, space-oriented sound to create a crushingly heavy soundtrack for altered states of mind. Started in late 2007 as Voyager, the Boston, Massachusetts collective released a well-received self-titled EP in 2008, followed by a limited vinyl-only split release with Philadelphia's Monolith in early 2010.

Following two years of conflicting schedules and limited live shows, the group has re-emerged as VYGR, and has recorded their debut full-length record, "Hypersleep", at the Planet-Z studio in Hadley, MA with renowned producer Zeuss (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, Crowbar) at the helm. The new album is slated for release in early 2011 through San-Francisco based label Creator-Destructor.
