I ordered the new albums before even listening to them just for support. I hope we get to hear Khan all over the place in the near future. This is a great start.
Well, I have begged the Universe to send him back to the kitchen to peel the potatoes for a decade or so ... he has no darkness inside to carry the notes in the music. Black Sabbath was really not his business .... BUT he has been peeling those potatoes long enough now ... it's amazing! Tony Martin has the power now ... Thumbs up for this. I feel impressed and am a little bit sad that I have sent so much irritation in his direction ... he is a real hard working living artist ... We can not love all artists' products .....
Finally the amazing Khan is featured on one of Arjen’s projects. I was wondering how he missed him since he always find great singers. Thank you. This is really amazing and Khan is one of the best vocalists around
I feel Arjen Anthony Lucassen is vastly underrated. There's a handful of guys out there that seem to have a deep well of phone numbers for people to call in throwing quality musical projects together: Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Tobias Sammet, Billy Sherwood & Steven Wilson all jump to mind for me. (Morse & Portnoy are joined at the hip.) Personally I'd put Arjen above all of them.
What stood out for me in this track is Steve Vai's solo somehow sounded like he has already played on every previous Arjen album and knew exactly what was needed. It moved me and made me feel so good. This whole song is perfect and I can't thank Arjen enough for the decades of joy listening to his music and frens.
Roy was sadly missed when he parted Kamelot. Tommy does a great job for them but it’s not the same. Roy has been singing in Conception and he hasn’t lost a thing. So many in these comments don’t realize he’s been back now for a few years. He is a top 10 metal vocalist of our time.
Must be me but the latest CONCEPTION music does not really evokes the same in me as the Roy Khan led Kamelot stuff does/did. I always appreciated earlier CONCEPTION albums but the same as above, it didnt move like when he was in KAMELOT. Although I m an agnost I respected his wish to lead his life in a religious way but felt surprised because IMHO Kamelot never a satanic metalband. It never ceased to lift my spirit when being depressed. Then he returned with CONCEPTION, which is also metal. I m afraid there were more important reasons to get out of KAMELOT way back.
This is amazing. Seeing that Arjen works with Khan was an instant click. Hearing Khans voice again (and I know Conception) brings tears into my eyes. Seems like Khan is coming back to the centre stage. 🤟
Khan and Arjen??? Ive been wanting this for so long. The most evocative singer with some of the most evocative music Ive ever heard. Stunning Arjen. Vai's solo transcends as well....and Tony Martin....cross purposes was my fav black sabbath album. Marcela and Irene bring it all together....what a joy!!!!
Had goosebumps when the heavy guitar riff started and when the choir began singing. And those powerful voices! Damn! It is unfortunate that I can't give more likes. One is not enough.
Absolute Masterpiece!!!....how wonderful is to hear Roy Khan voice again! also the God of guitar Mr. Vai makes is just out of this world, most fitting, wonderful also to hear Irene Jansen & Marcela Bovio from my hometown...ajua!!!
I'd be lying if I said I was super familiar with Vai's music, I'd heard he was one of the greats when it comes to guitar. But God damn that has to be my single favourite guitar solo section I've ever heard. I dont think anything comes close. So tasteful, so dramatic, so expressive, eargasms everywhere🔥❤🤙🔥❤🤙🔥❤🔥🤙🔥❤🔥🤙❤
The Hellscore Choir was a perfect compliment to the "heavy" approach. Great touch giving us both Tony and Roy, loved it. Marcela and Irene were spectacular as always infact everyone flawless. Epic may be an understatement here.
One of the reasons I love Arjen's music is finding all the wonderful artists I've missed such as yourself. Started going through your music on Bandcamp and damn there's some interesting stuff there! It's going to take a while to listen to it all, but that's as good as a problem can get ;)
God this is epic! Thanks for the birthday present, Arjen! Some call Tuomas Holopainen the 'Metal Mozart', we should call you the 'Prog Puccini'. Can't wait for the rest of the album.
Really, they actually call him that? Wow, general delusion is really worsening these days, seriously... there's hardly ANY resemblance whatsoever, but I get that folks always have to make "comparisons" from lack of.... something. The same folks regarding sports and stuff, "ooooh, he's the new Maradona, or 'whoever'..." Talk about taking AWAY from any actual INDIVIDUAL being referenced, on BOTH ends. (IE You're not doing ANY of 'em a favor with such 'flattery'...) I realize you mean it to have the OPPOSITE effect, but it really doesn't... I totally get references like "Bach is the OT of music, and Beethoven the NT", but Tuomas is Tuomas, Maradona was Maradona, Mozart was Mozart... and Arjen is just fine as being Arjen, not 'Metal Mozart' (shit, that really sounds as silly as it is too... 'metal Mozart'... sheeesh)
@@maxhult830 I see what you're getting at, but I strongly disagree with your point of view. Referring to him as the Metal Mozart is just a way to show just how much people truly appreciate his skills. They're not comparing him to Mozart. Honestly, I think you're the one being delusional here :P
@@Dealman15 I understand that it's not meant to be taken literally, and is just meant as a compliment, but it's a bit confusing when there's no real connection to be found... My point was that it's not necessarily flattering for an upcomer to be compared with by-gones. Sports is an obvious example. They should be recognized for their OWN achievements, in their own right, while the old guys names shouldn't be a commodity to use for ones purpose of praising some unrelated individual. If a composer wants to acknowledge some of his inspiration, like if Tuomas says "This part is heavily influenced by Mozart, I borrowed some ideas to extrapolate on here..." that's great. Then it could be a compliment to both. Look, I don't know ish about tennis... but I hear Djokovic is a great tennis player today, so I'm gonna compliment him by comparing him to Björn Borg, because he also was a great tennis player in his day. Their styles are probably nothing alike, I have no idea, but just to illustrate what I mean. It's just the typical "compliment" from someone who knows nothing about tennis, I guess... as there's no SUBSTANCE to it.
@@ArjenALucassen Thank you for showcasing those lovely ladies. And thank you for sharing your genius with the world. Here, in America, our exposure to really good music has been limited, at best, for decades! Discovering music like yours has breathed so much new life into me and many others. 🤗 In fact, one positive side effect of this terrible pandemic has been that people stuck at home have also had the opportunity to discover new music like yours. 😁👍
I am still traveling through the vastness of space. Roy's voice transports you to a very spiritual plane. Steve Vai is straight out a rocket that gets you into orbit in seconds. Thank you Arjen for this beautiful preview. Greetings from Argentina. Pd: Can you imagine doing a live show from our "Valley of the Moon" with all Star One?
From the first moment Khan starts to sing... Just... He's unparalleled. I've been hoping to see him with Arjen ever since I heard Avantasia's Twisted mind. And all the other artists here are absolutely brilliant, it's only that for me Khan takes over every song he's on.
@@bmsuperstar1 mine too :) I think it's more of a case of Roy being hard to get... Otherwise I'm sure there'd be more of him both in Avantasia and in Arjen's projects.
@@yssanne24601 I guess so. I just hope we'll get at least another Conception album, though they're conceptually completely different in style compared to what was done before.
@@yssanne24601 Oh yeah, Conception is way different than Kamelot. It's more energetic, and the lyrics aren't like anything we got later in when Roy was writing for Kamelot. It's a different kind of metal. Though I must say I love Conception every single bit as I love Roy's Kamelot. Each of their older albums is like a different flavor of ice cream. It's awesome. 😁
Holy shxx.... This is awesome. And as a absolutely highlight: Steve Vai. No one can compose and play such a solo of harmonies and charisma. My greatest respect
Another Masterpiece! Youe're not getting older Arjen, you're getting better! Nice to have Ed back behind the drums again and great to see Irene again. You can never have enough Jansen on any song.
I wonder why this is not on Arjen's channel?! Thank you YT algorithm for accidentally listing this video to me... Anyway the thing is awesome! This is return of good old Ayreon/Star One... The Transitus was not bad at all but step in other direction and this is like returning to the roots. And yeah, it's impressive that Arjen still able to create stuff like this after all those years. Looks like that guy never gets old☺
The whole song is extraordinary, to put in one song the talents of roy khan, tony martin and steve vai is brilliant, the choir is fantastic, all the compliments goes to mr. arjen lucassen!!!
@@ArjenALucassen achtervolg jij mij soms! Eerst maak ik een Comment op een post van Mariusz Duda op Facebook waar jij een like op geeft. En nu een reactie hier op RUclips er zijn weinig artiesten die reageren naar hun fans toe. Dit maakt een fan erg blij.

@@edulsferreira cara, não sabia! Achei que o Roy Khan tinha largado o rock/metal. Maravilhosa notícia. Grato por me atualizar. Conheci o Conception na época do In Your multitude. E aquela coletânea de vídeos da gravadora Noise, que tinha Gamma Ray e outras bandas. Valeu! 🤘
@@gfcapitani Então valeu a pena comentar rsrs. Tem aqui no youtube e nas plataformas de música os novos trabalhos deles, e Roy Khan, assim como pode ver aqui continua em altíssimo nível.
I know what you mean, Marcus. I see Transitus as a victim of the whole pandemic now. In hindsight it should not have been released as an Ayreon album. Anyway... I hope I rectified it with this Star One album, let me know when the time comes :-)
@@ArjenALucassen though it might have not been Ayreon through and through I wanted to tell you that I listened to that album so many times in a row. I really liked it and the new vocalists I was introduced to. Some great storytelling and musicality, just different. Movie would've been amazing! But the album is too!
Nothing better than those rare moments when the hype is unable to reach up to the stature of the final product. Very rare, very valuable. This is really much greater than the sum of its parts !! 👏 👏
Just like how a Gentle Storm mashup would havd been awesome! Traditional flutes etc + guitars n drums. There used to be a good mashup of Endless Sea, but it’s been taken down :(
Excellent idea, Zel! It worked well for this tracks, but I'm not sure if it would work for other tracks as well though. Let me know your thoughts when the time comes!
Roy Khan is Back🙏
Roy Khan is top tier talent. He's back with his original band Conception, and they need your support!
I ordered the new albums before even listening to them just for support. I hope we get to hear Khan all over the place in the near future. This is a great start.
Roy Khan? omg i just cant believe it :O
Hearing Roy Khan singing on this track is a gift. Words cannot express how excited I am for the rest of the record!
Thanks Nicholas, let me know your verdict when the time comes!

Roy Khan in his prime was one of the best vocalists in progmetal and power metal. And he still has his voice
thought the same man, havent heard him singing for years, i was afraid he backed out completely
Roy Khan IS still going strong with his former band Conception. Performing in the Milkeyway, Amsterdam in April next year.
He's still in his prime. Conception has been putting out albums again.

The Legend!
The Voice!
Welcome back, Legend Khan!
If I'm not mistaken, Arjen said in one interview that he was meaning to call Khan before, but he had retired from singing Metal
Wow, Roy. Khan is here
and we're BACK
Haha, thanks Jarrod! Yes, I have a very good feeling about this album.
Holy shit this is GOOD. How can a guy who's been in the music business for over 40 years still be this inspired?
The answer seems to be sci-fi movies :)

Sublime!
@@jorgengabrielsson6660 Holy shit i wasnt aware that Roy is actually back!! thank you for the heads-up!!
@@AvaldesStudioTribu 🤗🤘🏼your welcome… enjoy
Agreed Jorge, and Roy did such an amazing job once again!
Other metal bands should invite Roy Khan to participate in their albums, he is huge, the best metal singer ever.
Indeed!!
You should check out This God is Dead by Seven Spires.
Maybe Bruce Dickinson could collaborate with him and record an album
Or he needs to contact Walter Monsanto from Guatemala
Roy is the best❤️👍

The guy deserve all the fame he has. He's an absolute master of his craft 🎸.
Amazing! Roy Khan is a real legend.
Agreed, Eduardo, so honored to have finally worked with him.
@@ArjenALucassen thank you for gift us all with this masterpiece here.

Listening to the song, And being a huge fan of Steve, I completely forgot about him and his way of playing. It just flew by me.
Wow! Just WOW!
Sounds like the Ayreon album that Transitus wasn't. If you know what I mean.... Awesome!
I said the same lol
I know what you mean, Marcus. I see Transitus as a victim of the whole pandemic now. In hindsight it should not have been released as an Ayreon album. Anyway... I hope I rectified it with this Star One album, let me know when the time comes :-)
@@ArjenALucassen though it might have not been Ayreon through and through I wanted to tell you that I listened to that album so many times in a row. I really liked it and the new vocalists I was introduced to. Some great storytelling and musicality, just different. Movie would've been amazing! But the album is too!
@@Juu_de Thanks Juunana, that is good to hear! But sadly it looks like the movie is not happening, it's just too expensive :-(
Omg Hellscore choir are amazing, excellent 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥😍❤️
Nothing better than those rare moments when the hype is unable to reach up to the stature of the final product. Very rare, very valuable. This is really much greater than the sum of its parts !! 👏 👏
Wow... thanks for the BIG compliment, Eduardo! Always scary moments for me :-)
More songs featuring Roy Khan plz!!
Roy khan and Tommy Karevik must have a duet!
Arjen is our only hope! 🤞🤞🤞
I need to buy this single like YESTERDAY
Oh man the choir is just amazing
Agreed, Tessa, expect this amazing choir on many of my future releases!
ROY KHAN💪♥️
I'm delighted to hear Tony Martin again.
Arjen is the best. He use both versions of tony martin vocal's line to do this version music.
For this arjen is the best.
Outstanding solo of the mighty Steve!!
Would be nice a Jorn Lande - Roy Khan duet someday ;D
Ok Arjen, now we need a third CD with these mixes!!! You holy genious Mr. L!
Just like how a Gentle Storm mashup would havd been awesome!
Traditional flutes etc + guitars n drums. There used to be a good mashup of Endless Sea, but it’s been taken down :(
Excellent idea, Zel! It worked well for this tracks, but I'm not sure if it would work for other tracks as well though. Let me know your thoughts when the time comes!
ROY KHAN!!!🙏🙏🙏
Roy Khan and Steve Vai!!!!!!!!!!!
