The new album from the amazing project of Arjen Lucassen, "Transitus," the new album by Ayreon, is built around a story that is not connected to the rest of the Ayreon universe. However, insiders will find some subtle links! The theme of science fiction materializes in a gothic ghost story set in the 19th century with elements of horror and the supernatural. A big fan of Doctor Who, Arjen Lucassen is proud to have enlisted one of the most well-known voices in sci-fi for this project. Indeed, Tom Baker, who portrayed the character of Doctor Who on screen for 8 years, is the narrator of the story! Like all Ayreon projects, this is a rich and explosive album featuring first-class musicians: Tommy Karevik (Kamelot), Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber), Simone Simons (Epica), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), Joe Satriani, Marty Friedman, Johanne James (Threshold), Noa Gruman (Scardust), Marcela Bovio (MaYan), Caroline Westendorp (The Charm the Fury), Paul Manzi (Arena), Michael Mills (Toehider), and Amanda Somerville (Avantasia, Trilium), among others!
