[i]Een korte update over de voorderingen die Arjen maakt met zijn nieuwe metal project. Dit komt van zijn site ( www.ayreon.com ):
The first singers for my new metal project have been recorded! Damian Wilson flew in from the UK for a couple of days to sing on the album and what can I say? As usual he did a great job! He did some amazing leads and some crystal clear harmonies.
All four singers (Damian Wilson, Floor Jansen, Russell Allen and Dan Swanö) will sing on all of the songs, and each of them will play a certain character from the space films they’re based on.
Secondly I recorded Floor, the female leadsinger of the gothic metalband After Forever. It was a real pleasure to work with her. Her voice is very clear, she’s very enthousiastic and she has a lot of ideas and input of her own. Her parts on the album consist of multiple harmonies layered on top of each other, all sung by Floor.
My good friend Robert Soeterboek sang some powerful backingvocals and all the guide vocals for Russell Allen. His voice is so big that it really fattens up the choruses. Thanks, mate!
I have also decided on the title of the album, it will be called: “SPACE METAL”. It might sound a bit obvious, but I couldn’t think of a more suitable and clear name to describe the music and the lyrics!
As I told you before, this will *not* be an Ayreon album. I do have a new projectname in mind, but I will only disclose it when I am 100% sure about it. So expect more news shortly!
