Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen is gearing up for the new Star One Album, Revel In Time, out February 18th via InsideOutMusic. Today (19th), Lucassen has unveiled a video for the title track featuring Brandon Yeagley and Adrian Vandenberg.
Arjen comments:
“Dear friends, you better hold on tight for this absolutely zany clip… here is the 4th single: ‘Revel In Time’! It’s based on the equally zany movie ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’. It was filmed in Holland and the U.S. and of course… in outer space.
This is definitely the most varied Star One album so far. After the epic ‘Lost Children of the Universe’, the fast and furious ‘Fate of Man’, the complex and proggy ‘Prescient’ we now have this deliriously wild ride for you with ‘Revel In Time’. I sure hope you have a sense of humor, ha ha!
I hope you will enjoy this Amazing Flight in Time and Space. Thanks for your support as always, looking forward to reading your comments.
Be excellent to each other!
Arjen.”
