Arjen Lucassenin johtama Ayreon on julkaissut uudet singlet ja lyriikkavideot ”Get Out! Now!” sekä ”Hopelessly Slipping Away” syyskuussa ilmestyvältä albumilta ”Transitus”. Kappaleissa vokaaleissa kuullaan mm. Kamelotin Tommy Karevikia, Dee Snideria sekä kitarassa Joe Satriania.
Yliluonnollisista elokuvista inspiraatiota ammentanut teemalevy sisältää jälleen vakuuttavan tähtikaartin laulajia ja muusikoita kuten Daniel ja Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber), Simone Simons (Epica), Marty Friedman, Johanne James (Threshold), Noa Gruman (Scardust), Marcela Bovio (MaYan), Caroline Westendorp (The Charm The Fury), Paul Manzi (Arena), Micheal Mills (Toehider) ja Amanda Somerville (Avantasia, Trillium).
Lucassen kommentoi:
This album is incredibly diverse so I really couldn’t choose just one track because I wouldn’t want people to get the wrong impression of the overall mood of the album. So we decided to make a video for both an atmospheric track ‘Hopelessly Slipping Away’ and a rocky track ‘Get out! Now!’
The track ‘Get Out! Now!’ is a straightforward and energetic rock track with powerful drums, bass, guitars and Hammond organ. It features the illustrious Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) and Tommy Karevik on vocals, and none other than the legendary Joe Satriani plays a blistering guitar solo. In this story Daniel’s intolerant father (Dee) banishes Daniel (Tommy) from his estate for having a forbidden affair with their servant Abby.
‘Hopelessly Slipping Away’ features Tommy Karevik (Kamelot) and Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber) on vocals. It’s a haunting track with analog synthesizers and violin, and it slowly builds to an epic climax with marching snares. In this video we see the ghost of Daniel (Tommy) hopelessly trying to reach out to his beloved wife Abby (Cammie) who clearly feels his presence but can’t see or hear him.
