Ayreon is a project by composer and musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen and can most easily be described as a series of rock operas based on a sci-fi concept Arjen created. Ayreon has had a long string of guest appearances including :
Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad)
Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth)
Ayreon is a powerhouse of talent and creativity. If you are a fan of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Svatage, or Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar you will dig this.
