New Arjen Project

[Soul of Ice]

Called Stream of Passion. I think it is very good and was just picked up by Sony. I highly doubt *sarcastic voice* that the reason is the girl sounds like a better version of Amy Lee from Evanescence.

Before you see the Evanescence reference and just write the band off, go to the website and download "Deceiver"

Wait, no effort is needed on your part, here is the link

[Thraxz]

Pretty good, but I think he needs to mix the guitars higher for that type of music.

 

[Rose Immortal]

I thought it was very good when I heard it.

 

[ChrisFerg]

...and their tour is coming to the UK



(*is a big arjen fan*)

 

[Androz]

I'm loving it

 

[proulxski]

not to shabby!

 

[II=I]

I think its great. I loved Marcela on THE but thought she needed some more spotlight moments. Looks like she's got all she wants now.

 

[rockyracoon]

sounds great. once again, i really think it sounds similar to Ambeon. i believe that was Astrid van der Veen on vox for that one. cant wait for this one to come out. should i even waste my time hoping for a US tour???

 

[Prog Maiden]

Gonna be interviewing the band relatively soon (Marcela in particular I think), so if anyone has any questions, let me know.

If you guys listen to the second episode of MSRCAST, by clicking on the link in my signature, we played Stream of Passion this past episode, last track I believe. Not bad either.

 

[mëtålspëd]

From what Ive heard, its a great disc. Marcela has an amazing voice, and was underused on T.H.E. . Cant wait for it to come out.

 

[PJS]

Sounds reasonable - I suppose with Evanesence having been there and done it already, that anyone with a strong female vocalist will inevitably be compared against them.
I hear the similarities, but there's enough of a difference to differentiate between the two.

 

[AngraRULES]

Very good band, I am constantly in touch with Marcela and she is a GREAT SINGER and a reallly nice person! This is a great band indeed and I think they'll go far!

Goddamn I love Ayreon!

 

[Lord_Tarod]

IMO as an album, pretty average, but Passion's fuckin' awesome.
