AYREON „The Theory Of Everything“ details revealed
For the past couple of weeks, Arjen Lucassen has been slowly revealing details of the forthcoming Ayreon album „The Theory Of Everything“.Â
| The album will be released on October 28, 2013 on InsideOut Music, and a full track-listing and details of the special guests can be found below.
Arjen had this to say about the album: „With four long epics of more than 20 minutes and loads of instrumental passages, this is probably my most proggy release so far. I’m extremely proud of the eclectic list of guest musicians spanning several decades; many dreams have come true this time. There’s also a completely new story line to delve into, a drama exploring the complicated world of science and human emotions. My advice? Sit back, relax, headphones on, and let this album take you on a musical adventure!“
