The news is also on the official Ayreon site, I'm a huge fan of Arjen Lucassen and I'm sure this project will kick ass, and mark a meeting of two of metal's great visionaries...
i trust Dan, he's proven to blow me away with
99% of the stuf he's released. but i, on
the other hand, think Ayreon
blows.... so we'll see
what happens
he is involved in a project with Arjen Lucassen, Russel Allen (Symphony X vocalist), and Floor Jansen (After Forever vocalist), however, this project will not be released under the 'Ayreon' name...
Last time Dan told me:
"Right now I am very busy with other stuff than internet...."
So, we must w8 Soon we gonna get new Tom Nouga album and next Nightingale's one in summer.
If everything goes as planned a new N.G record will be recorded this summer. By the whole band ( of course ). N.G is a band these days and not a Dan ( Dag ) projekt. Dan and I have 4-5 song each ready for rehersals and recording. One song is 10 minutes long and very progressive. The rest is a mixture of hardrock with soft and poppy moments. It´s gonna kick ass !
It still amazes me that people who really pushed metal and became flagbearers for what "progressive" is, are still using the term to mean what "progressive" was 20 years ago... (I assume you're not using 'progressive' in the Pan-Thy-Monium freak-out 'what the hell' definition. )... you farts.
