New Star One album coming in October

[Spudman]

If you've been a follower of Dutch composer Arjen Lucassen of Ayreon, Ambeon, Star One, Guilt Machine, and Stream Of Passion fame, then you'll be happy to hear that he has been holed up for the last several months creating another Star One album.

In the past he has used many talents for his projects including the original Star One album. Artists on the original include: Russell Allen (Symphony X), Floor Jannsen (After Forever), Damien Wilson (Threshold) and so on. Here is the artist list of who has worked on his albums. It's a Who's Who of modern rock. http://www.arjenlucassen.com/aal/aa_artists.html

He hasn't mentioned who is on the new album yet but you can rest assured that they will be very talented and the album quite good.

I'm excited for this new album because the first one is great and the live concert video is too.

STAR ONE: InsideOut Music/EMI are also set to release Arjen Lucassen's Star One Victims Of The Modern Age on 01 November 2010...
Composer and multi-instrumentalist ARJEN LUCASSEN has firmly established himself worldwide as driving force in progressive rock. While best known for his rock opera project AYREON, the multi-talented Dutchman also regularly embarks on musical side projects, which explore different aspects of Lucassen's musical personality. As his previous project (GUILT MACHINE’s "On This Perfect Day" 2009) was a relatively relaxed and subtle affair, LUCASSEN's muses responded by urging him to record something loud, heavy and anything but subtle for this new release. Thus it was a perfect opportunity to launch his musical spacecraft towards the galaxy of bombastic sci-fi rock by revisiting his STAR ONE project.

The result is the album "Victims of the Modern Age," the follow-up to the STAR ONE debut album, “Space Metal” (2002). Compared to "Space Metal," the overall sound of "Victims Of The Modern Age" is darker, heavier, more guitar-oriented, and slightly less "spacey”. ARJEN has also raised the bar significantly when it comes to the album's sound: "I think it's my best sounding album to date; it's a huge difference compared to the first STAR ONE. For the guitars I spent weeks experimenting with different amps and settings in every combination imaginable -- and it was worth it. The drums sound fantastic, and the vocalists all outdid themselves, putting in even stronger performances than they did the first time around."

“Victims Of The Modern Age” will be released on Insideout Music | EMI in GAS on October 29th and in Europe on November 01st. With its stellar musicianship, strong melodies, meticulous production and compelling concept, STAR ONE "Victims of the Modern Age" is yet another exciting project from one of rock's great visionaries.
