ARJEN LUCASSEN Checks In From The Studio - "I Recorded Double Bass For The Very First Time In My Life"

Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen recently announced his next album as a collaboration with vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering), saying it will be "an epic concept double album, a combination of 'classical meets metal' and 'acoustic folk'." He has posted a new update online along with the photo above:

"I recorded double bass for the very first time in my life with the excellent Hinse Mutter for the new album with Anneke Van Giersbergen. What a huge monster sound, can’t believe I didn’t do this years ago!"

Anneke van Giersbergen recently commented on the project: "Yesch!! I'll be teaming up with the one and only Arjen Lucassen for a concept double album! It will be the two of us, a fabulous overall theme and everything between very loud and pure acoustic. This will be something special!"

Stay tuned for more updates.
