Navigator

About Me

Navigator is a prog metal project which draws upon many different areas of influence, from 70's prog rock, to power metal, death metal, and also philosophy, science fiction and history. I hope the fusion of styles and influences creates something entirely new and different. The debut EP, "Transcendental Union", has now been completed. The entire EP is now available to listen to here on this page! Many thanks to Gabriel Ralls and Michael Pitman for their time and effort which has made this recording possible. The artwork for the EP has been created by Mattias Noren (Kamelot, Epica, Evergrey etc.), who is also responsible for the layout and logo design. You can buy the EP right here for £5 (plus P&P). Just click the Buy Now button!
