Архив новостей | Русская версия
Thirteen years after his last solo album, Lost In The New Real, Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen is back with a new solo release, Songs No One Will Hear. True to his signature style, this album offers an eclectic blend of tracks, moving seamlessly from powerful, epic songs to lighter, more playful ones.
