\"\"ARJEN LUCASSEN ANNOUNCES NEW SOLO ALBUM AND ANTHONY RE-RELEASE<\/p>\n

Thirteen years after his previous solo album, Lost In The New Real, Arjen is back with a new solo release: Songs No One Will Hear. True to his signature style, this album offers an eclectic blend of tracks, moving seamlessly from powerful, epic songs to lighter, more playful ones.<\/p>\n

At its core, Songs No One Will Hear is bound by a profound concept: what would people do if they only had five months left to live because of an asteroid impact? Expect an emotional rollercoaster, delving into both the light and dark aspects of human nature. The album features several exciting guest appearances from Ayreon colleagues, including Irene and Floor Jansen, with Mike Mills providing the evocative narration.<\/p>\n

Songs No One Will Hear is available in three luxurious formats:
\n\u2022 A 36-page Deluxe Artbook (3CD + Blu-ray)
\n\u2022 Transparent red 2LP vinyl (Other vinyl options available through InsideOutMusic)
\n\u2022 A 20-page special edition CD Digipack<\/p>\n

Finally, after 32 years, Arjen\u2019s very first solo album, Pools of Sorrow, Waves of Joy (released as Anthony), is back and better than ever with a special luxury re-release! Not only is the original album remastered, but this deluxe package includes an astounding 31 bonus tracks, giving you 2.5 hours of music in total! Expect a fantastic mix of demos, unreleased gems, live performances, and newly recorded material.<\/p>\n
