Star One "Victims of the Modern Age" Trailer

[TheGoddessCaroline]

I'm so glad the world is discovering your brilliancy. I look forward to all of your projects.

[Megadedly]

Whoa! there's video of Swano?

[MIND4eva]

I am addicted to your music, Arjen - thank you for inspiration!

[quasicreed]

Excellent music as always from AAL, but too bad the title also describes the mastering choices used. It's a brickwalled mess and I unfortunately can't sit through the whole thing.

[dragonobsessedgirlie]

Holy shit. Floor Jansen's voice! That is the sound of the Goddess having an orgasm <3

[masterpatric07]

SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS A GREAT INSPIRATION FROM NICOLLO KOSTEV FROM BRAZZEN ABBOT.STILL BRAZEN ABBOT SOUND MORE MELODIC CAUSE IT HAS DEEP PURPLE AND RAINBOW INFLUENCES , WHICH MEANS EXCELLENCE.

[ObakeFilter]

Shallow and pedantic.. Hmpf! Seriously though, what a nice guy keeping up this, what I assume, personal and direct touch with his fans this frequently. Down to earth musician personified, quite possibly. I tip my hat!

[comanchee22]

This has to be one of the best sounding Metal records EVER!!! Thankyou so much Arjen for putting all of this Stellar talent together!!!! \m/ ROCK ON!!! \m/

[YrendenQ]

cool

[thestarsfallout]

Wow, yet another AMAZING album! I am always inspired when I listen to Lucassen's music. It seems everything he touches musically turns to gold!! Well done!!

[DortheKarinLarsen]

Whenever I watch any videos with this guy or listen to his music I automatically go from being 38 to 16 in 2 seconds ;-)). Not only is his music more than worldclass, he´s also a fantastic wonderful person :-))

[JamesGod08]

I couldn't get into the older too much due to the cheese being a bit overwhelming I think, but this is great, the production is awesome and heavy as shit, packs a sonic PUNCH

[Blighto2]

Bought on the basis of this trailer.

[diegocrescini]

I'm still not over how good Binary is, and now this, my head is going to explode.

[Laihoistheman]

why didn't Lori play on this album? i know she was managing but it would have been cool to hear her at least for one solo.

im in tears of how amazing and brutal this album is, pure genius!

[freitasnetuno]

Great job Arjen, thanks for making music so intensive and interesting.

[StormColdSoul]

I'm goig to listen it now ubut without listening I can say I love the name of the album.

We are victims of this time that makes us forget about who we are.

[DortheKarinLarsen]

This is pure genuine LOVE from my forever number 1!! <3 <3 <3 <3

[AntonNidhoggr]

Just watched. Cool, epic, fun :-)

[007edmond]

cool

hebbe hebbe hebbe

[Synthustrial]

E P I C !!!!!!

[NightWishMarch2008]

Steve Lee's dead?! Damn, where was I? :S...Well, anyway, this sounds awesome. I'm glad Floor Jansen's singing again with Star One on this album :D I ordered the special limited edition; can't wait!

[BuddTwang]

Damian's voice absolutely gives me shivers. Such a sophisticated voice.

[BadBlood]

He Arjen, klinkt fon fijnsten! Ik verwacht wel wat optredens binnenkort! :)

[LedGuardian]

So are we going to get a tour for this album? Going to the US hopefully?

[kbuss10]

11 days :P

[looveWTandNW]

Will be amazing :)

[timmyhiggy]

looks like some superb performances from everyone involved!

I really can't wait to hear the whole thing!

[andrewsnightwolf]

listen my cover of age of shadows!!

[DemonIced]

OMG!!! Can't wait for the new album, I hope it's gonna be released in Canada, or else I'll have to buy it on eBay or something like that.

I loved the first Star One album so much!!! Combining Russell, Floor, Dan and Damian is a winning combination!

[lolwhoops]

Allen is the (fuc)king ! Hope he never leaves Arjen's projects ... EVER!

[Edgeofforever]

INCREIBLE

[DanielBigField]

Holy sh**, the signed pre-orders are sold out!!!

Arjen must be proud!

[Meriliniel]

i love the bit where arjen sneaks up on damian wilson :D

i'm really looking forward to it, sounds extremely promising.

[Annique]

I also ordered my copy of the Special Edition. Can't. Effing. Wait to hear it.

[TheFall0uts]

[CavemanJesus4Life]

@ArjenALucassen Arjen are you ever interested in making a band with Floor Jansen???

It seems your music and her voice make the best metal music, anyway is the album released yet???

[metaltrekman]

Oh Ya!! \m/ Love Star One! Looking forward to this one.

[Velethyn]

I've been stoked for this album for a long while now!

Me and my friends have been calling you a "musical mastermind" for years now, and this sounds like it will be nothing short of phenomenal! Purchased a signed copy on the site earlier today, can't wait!

[reapyreap]

Sounds amazing, Arjen! Can't wait to get it!!

[a7xwii]

I was really hopping Amy Lee could have done some vocals on this with Russel Allen .

[Babboleadoro]

finally back to the Ayreon atmospher...personally i didn't like Guilt Machine album, but this is gonna be great!

And Vink is back! fuck yea XD

[khabriel]

can't await the new chapter! loved the first and certainly i'll love this new work!

have a nice night!

[steelwizard]

Sounds good from the musical point of view but I don't like the production.

[DanielBigField]

Man, I'm looking forward so much for the bundle to arrive here!

It looks like you guys had so much fun while doing it!

Guess I'm gonna have a lot of fun listening to it!

Arjen plays every other instrument....including guitars XD

[toxickissduo]

Holy shit Arjen, you got Wilson, Allen and Swano together, this is gonna to be AMAZING!!!!!!!

[toxickissduo]

@toxickissduo I meant, I can't believe he got them together again, amazing!

[carribast]

awesome! can't wait for the signed album :)

[carlopelliccia]

After what I've heard and what I've seen in this video I'm pretty sure it will be (another) great work. You are the man, Arjen!

[nospaulatu]

Dan Swanö! He's awesome. I wonder if he'll ever work on a follow-up to Moontower.

[blekdood]

I always liked your wok Arjen. You sir, are a F***ING GENIUS!

[BFBeast666]

Man, it's great to see the gang together. I can't fuckin' wait for that album. The first Star One is still doing heavy rotation in my stereo. And every vid Arjen puts out makes it more unbearable. GET A MOVE ON! ... please? :)

[surferboy409]

Cloudscape

[MrLucassen]

Aaahh, Sir Russell Allen and Damien Wilson again. This cannot go wrong.

[Ilustricon]

OMG Arjen. You really outdid yourself again. This sounds so amazing!!!

I must say i was really disappointed in your last side project album Guilt Machine - On this perfect day. It's the only album I didn't buy. Also in the beginning I did not really like 0101001 but has grown on me since. Think it's awesome now. But this one. OMG it's gonna be freaking awesome from the start. PREORDERED !!!!!

[tegneren33]

I got the goosbumps. Another Star One album!

[makila666]

Sounds awesome ! Shame about Steve Lee... RIP! i will never forget the first time i heard him on your album arjen!

[ArjenALucassen]

@makila666 It was a great honor and pleasure indeed. Steve was such a great singer AND a great guy...

[infernoCBR]

@makila666 umm WHAT? This is the 1st time I hear about it... R.I.P. Steve Lee a.k.a. the best rock singer ever.

[Asovito]

Wonder when it will be available in south america?

Can't wait to get my hands and ears on it, lol.

[Arglactable]

Russell is so awesome.

[RedPyramidHead666]

the trailer is awesome !

still 3 weeks until the european release...

i count the days :D

[Ayronna]

Made my pre-order as well. Well, make that two. I have a very modern mother, who lieks it as well =D It sounds great!

[TheSentinel909]

Arjen, I don't know how you do it - consistently producing such great stuff. Having Rusell must be such a pleasure, his voice is amazing!

[ILoveWatermelon]

Hey Arjen, made my pre-order! Just wondering, who does the artwork for the album?

[Ikkiku]

Awesine riff! And the keyboards are totally "Arjen". :)

[ParanoideOsterhase]

wow, i can't wait to hear it!!!

25 days.....hmm.....why not earlier?

[FearlessSpinner]

Arjen is a specially trained assasin that sneaks up to his victim (of the modern age) and then ..... smacks him with a hammond organ :D

This is just too awesome to be true!

[teavb94]

damn,im gona bore my friends with this,just like with the 01011001 :)

[TheJohnPetras]

I'm so damn excited for this album. Russ and Damien are just ossim.....

[BurnsyElle]

Arjen you're amazing.

[HicksBrandon2]

I love this album already. I don't think I'm going to stop listening to it for days. And I absolutely love the guitar tone you've hit with it. It's just beautiful.

[soulstealer29a]

Anyone else think Damian Wilson looks like Robin Williams?

[Maddolis]

@soulstealer29a Maybe a cross between Robin Williams and (metal blasphemy:) Bono!

Pre-ordered! Can't wait.

[ilfirin86]

@soulstealer29a ...or Baldrick from Blackadder ;D

[Sckazinski]

So sad I will not pre-order the cd :( brazilian taxes on imports are almost 100% on the original value of the product, so it became very expensive to me :(

[lars1968schenk]

Pre-ordered the (hopefully) signed album and thumbs up for the nice trailer and great music.

[Czarforth]

Wow... I couldn't be any more excited about this album. :D

[mortangia]

Hele gave trailer!! Vooral de humor erbij in maakt het toch een goede trailer. Kan niet wachten tot de CD bij mij binnen is. Het is echt aftellen geblazen!

[mcoenen]

Vet Arjen, ben erg benieuwd !!!

[mariosyjp]

is it me or did most of them turn chubby?? hahahah!

sounds great!

[ArjenALucassen]

@mariosyjp Well...definitely not me, haha!

[mariosyjp]

@ArjenALucassen definately not you Arjen!!! great job! can't wait

[mariosyjp]

@ArjenALucassen definately not you Arjen!!! actually you might want to consider that! hahah! great job! can't wait

[John909McCartney]

Wow! I know it's gonna be a killer album! Arjen has never let me down with his music! Can't wait! \,,/

[JohnLRice]

Sounds great! I'm looking forward to it!

[Kouban]

I am so hyped for this I cannot express it with words. Come soon, 10/25!

[RobCorvette]

1:17 - SURPRISE!

[GalacticGravy]

I really can't wait to hear Tony Martin. The Martin years of Sabbath are woefully neglected. I really respect your choice of musicians here. I've preordered by Super Mega Giga Neutron-Powered 2CD Limited edition (signed). It makes me sad to think I'm probably one of the few here in the US who preordered it. I try every chance I can get to spread the word, though!

[lorilinstruth]

@GalacticGravy No need to feel sad -- we've had lots of preorders from Arjen's Stateside fans.

[rsmothersjr]

uh. how come the trailer freezes at 2:22?

[lorilinstruth]

@rsmothersjr I can't duplicate this error, sorry! It plays just fine on all of our computers here, including my phone.

[rsmothersjr]

@lorilinstruth thanks for trying!

[rsmothersjr]

I'm so glad he did another Star One album. Some of the best metal EVER!!!!!

[Singingtinky]

Woohoo, great clip! Just a few more weeks!

Was that an old clip of Damian or did he wear his silver shirt especially for the occasion?

[ArjenALucassen]

@Singingtinky He stole the silver shirt from my closet and especially wore it for this occasion :-)

[buscobanda]

Love damian wilson's voice, russell's too, will be an epic album, cant wait for it arjen!

[Krowsnest]

words cannot express how awesome that just was

[Cyrius01]

Can't wait for it to arrive in the post!!

[PaulAJCMoreau]

ooh niiiice

[JamesHazBeHaiTyme]

Can't wait =D x

[TheBlindedLeader]

Wooooooo Russell Allen! Being awesome as always and checking out my favorite album on the wall xD

[Anfadal]

It sounds absolutely amazing, Arjen!

Sadly this is being overshadowed with the news of Steve Lee's passing... The singer of Gotthard was in a truck-accident in Nevada. A great singer and great personality is gone.

[Maddolis]

@Anfadal Oh Jesus, I just found out with this comment- the first I heard of him was on 01011001 but not only did he hold his own amongst Gildenlow, Hansi, Lande, Floor etc, but was quite possibly the highlight- and it's painful that such a random, freak accident could kill him. RIP Steve Lee.

[Meriliniel]

@Anfadal Noo I heard it yesterday, too. That's really sad, I just didn't know how it happened :/ RIP.

[MrBabou]

Impatiently waiting!!!

[Synthustrial]

OMFG !!!!!!!!!! This and the new Agalloch are going to be my 2 top picks for 2010. I do however have some sad sad news, Steve Lee from Gotthard died yesterday, tragic news indeed. may he RIP

[adgTributes]

Nice trailer. :)

[Asphyx123]

Damn almost another month to wait...... Sounds incredible. I Love the heavier Ayreon work like Flight of the Migrator. So this is right my type of stuff.

[zemborato]

The "Apes" quote is fricken hilarious! Music sounds great. Can't wait.

[DipierroProductions]

this looks amazing

[TacticOgre]

Damian Wilson FTW!

[makila666]

Yet again, your playing with are minds! just great...... got my signed copy and t-shirt ordered already ;) aww... Hearing Dan's voice again brings me back to the nightingale days! Yet again, great vocals all around, am very much looking forward on hearing the song your singing on , really suits that song, sounds insane! Aww, what a good year this will be, Devin townsends Ghost and Deconstruction, and this! ohh, its ganna be good ;) thanks for the music Arjen! <3 Genius! Take care bud!

[juanviperea]

ORDERED!!

signed!

[FaeryLuna]

No words, just simply Grrrrrreat!

[FaeryLuna]

Woooooow Grrrrrrreat! No words

[ComatoseRose]

I can't wait for this. Though I hope it'll be available in a legitimate format other than CD!

I don't buy CDs anymore... :(

[Liampieee]

I love it so much.

[ROELXIV]

Sweet 

[Glad1kun]

No ducks.... again =(

[lorilinstruth]

@Glad1kun Don't worry, we found a way to squeeze in the ducks in the Making Of that comes with the ltd. ed.

[metabog]

Lmao, sounds like Hammond organ in every song.

[AyreonX]

@metabog so...what's wrong with that? Hammond organs are never outdated \m/

[samanosukkia]

@AyreonX Exactly what i was thinkin'

[metabog]

@AyreonX Nothing lol, Hammonds rule. But it's such a trademark Arjen thing to have a heavy slow riff with simple hammond chords on top, it just destroys every time.

[Maddolis]

@metabog Hahahahahah absolutely!

I was just about to say, 0:12 screams ARJEN!

[ArjenALucassen]

@metabog Hammond indeed! Guitars, bass, drums and vocals in every song too!

[metabog]

@ArjenALucassen There better be Moog filter sample and hold wobbling under the Hammond as well!

[ArjenALucassen]

@metabog Plenty of (Mini) Moog! No wobbling sample and hold this time though I'm afraid...

[Maddolis]

I'm guessing the clip of Russell at the end is a spoken passage (complete with a funny accent) in the Planet of the Apes based song?

[MireWolf29]

@Maddolis You are correct! I believe he was doing an impression of Charleton Heston from the original Planet of the Apes.

[ArjenALucassen]

@Maddolis Indeed, he was having fun with it :-)

[SpriteBat]

This album is gonna be non stop perfection! Great ensemble, Arjen!

Your biggest fan in America: Travis Johnson

[Bigiobagio]

Ahaha even Arjen uses boobs for his trailers ... he's the new Michael Bay! :D

[Maddolis]

Every video makes me want this album more and more, I'm definitely going to have to pre-order the Limited Edition if I can.

It took me 2 years or so of listening to Ayreon to listen to Star One- I thoroughly enjoyed it yet 01011001 and The Dream Sequencer remain my favourite Lucassen works- but I think this'll be even better than the first!

[MrKokss]

Oh man oh man I can't wait! Must get the special edition to add to the collection :)

Looks to be great as always Arjen! And I love that you're working with Damian Wilson again, too!

[putsikatsi]

I got chills all over throughout the entire clip, can't wait for release!

[MalvegilOfArthedain]

This'll be one nastily EPIC album, it will be.

Can't wait for it.

'LUL!' Hahaha xD
