Is Tom Englund going to sing on the new Ayreon CD?

[batmura]

I know he's a big fan of Ayreon and has expressed interest in being part of it. I was wondering if anyone knows whether he's been approached by Arjen Lucassen to partake in the new album.

Thoughts?

Arjen REALLY needs to get Tom to be apart of this new album, along with Daniel Gildenlow, Roy Khan, Michele Luppi and Michael Eriksen.

Good God, I can't even begin to imagine an album with all these guys on it... I don't think I'd need to listen to another album ever again if this were to happen.

that would be really amazing to hear! ayreon's last album was just incredible

 

[Deadly]

i like all Ayreon's albums
Tom would be the cherry on a chocolate-muffin-cake
i can't wait whether he'd be on it or not,

i also heard that Engel, the band Michael Hakansson is now in, has a record deal . Maybe it's old news i don't know, i'm just sharing

Tom should have been on The Human Equation, doing the role Mikael Akerfeldt was given (Fear/Anguish).

Of course, I would have given Mikael Akerfeldt the role that James LaBrie had, and shifted LaBrie to the role Arjen himself played

 

[Ayreonaut]

Personally i would leave LaBrie out... :Smug:

There's no way Tom could have done Akerfeldt's Fear personification as well as he did.

I however know for a fact that Tom is very eager to guest on a future Ayreon album if Arjen is up for it. We'll see...

All i can say his name has been mentioned several times to Arjen....

 

[asymmetry]

That would be great indeed!

 

[b-bert]

Yes! I really hope this happens. I disagree with the comments about the human equation though Akerfeldt's role was the best casting there i thought.

 

[Ayreonaut]

But so far the vocalists are

Magali Luyten
Simone Simons (epica)
Ty Tabor (Kings X)

so we'll still have to wait...

 

[Deadly]

^i don't know the third name, but the other 2 are amazing vocalists. Can't wait

 

[Ayreonaut]

I think Tom is indeed on the new Ayreon cd, checkout the new sample...

That is definitely Tom. The singing style he uses is akin to his work on the Solitude Dominance Tragedy. I like the sheer rawness he exudes. Good work.

 

[Ayreonaut]

my sentiment exactly, so the thirt thing i did was update this topic

 

[Deadly]

i love that voice

and yes it's alike SDT

 

[zedowns]

Hell yeah!

This is gonna be one of the best albums EVER.

 

[The Essence of Conviction]

Our prayers have been answered! This fucking rules.

Yeah, this is cool... congrats to Tom! I hope he posts something about it in "The Grey Area."
