This fast and furious album opener is the second video clip/single of the new Star One album ‘Revel In Time’. The lyrics are inspired by the movie Terminator.
For me this is the most Star One-ish track on the album, reminiscent of ‘Set Your Controls’ from the first Star One album ‘Space Metal’. The lead vocals are by the amazingly talented singer Brittney Slayes of Unleash the Archers and the virtuoso guitar solo is by none other than Michael Romeo of Symphony X. One of my own favorite tracks on the album. Curious to read your comments below, enjoy!
Video clip edited by Dave Letelier... in true Terminator style :-)
drums: Ed Warby
Solina Strings: Erik van Ittersum
Hammond organ: Joost van den Broek
guitars, bass and keyboards: Arjen Lucassen
We’ll be back!

This is hands down the best Terminator related media to be released since 1991
Have you never heard of Austrian Death Machine??? ;)
@@jamesb120 just checked them out, fair point lol
I've always been a big fan of These Iron Bones by 3. :)
You must have missed Fear Factory's, "Obsolete".
For real!!
Brittney Slayes + Ayreon! What a time to be alive!
I love the funny text displays, "tall Hippie detected, hamless" or when Michael Romeo comes in, "merciless shredding overload, incoming.." xD
Also, Brittney from Unleash The Archers, awesome!
Should have done a funny text display for her also. "Earth shattering metal vocals incoming" or something like this. xD
Probably should be "Merciless shredding overloRd"? Feels like a typo in the video.
That it wasn't 'mostly harmless' is a missed chance for a reference to hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy :P
"Danger: metal assult imminent" 😂😂😂
I thought it said "overlord" at first and I was disappointed when I realized it wasn't
The musicianship in this, and all of Arjen's projects is just absolutely out of this world (no pun intended). Cannot wait to get my hands on this new album when it comes out!
Tank facts right there!
@@PeTTs0n88 😂😂😂
Me too. I plan to preorder this one and I never done that before. As if Arjen projects were not the best already, getting Brittney Slays to sing on this project was too much to take lol take my money now 😆 😆 😆 💸 💸 💸
Awesome, Tank - yep Arjen and company delivered again, and one of my favourite singers featured, too! Brittney kills it
I was hoping for a reaction. I guess this counts!
"Normally" if a music video contains computer code and screens, it tends to be gibberish. But here we have:
1. What appears on the left at 1:25 is real code to handle files, read them, and do some content manipulation. The code is written in scripting language Lua.
2. At 1:28 at the bottom, it says "install sbcl" and then two lines of output. This what installing software package "sbcl" might look like on Linux. SBCL is a compiler of programming language Lisp, and it is being downloaded in version 1.3.20, which is a real version from 2O17. At 1:57 the download continues.
3. At 1:58 on the right, the window first shows the real manual of program "ssh". This is a program used to connect to a computer's command line over network. Then the window exits the manual, and proceeds to use program "cd" to try to change the working directory. This is done in a shell environment called "zsh", which is also real. Directory is changed to "~/Desktop", which is simply a Desktop folder in the current user's homefolder. In that directory, it proceeds to use program "tail" to show the last 8 lines of file "downloadfonts.rb" which seems to be a Ruby script. Then the window switches to the manual page of program "nmap", which is a network discovery/probing tool.
4. At 2:13 on the left, it is blurry, but it looks like the output of program like "top", which shows running processes and system load on a Linux/Unix operating system.
5. 2:37 on the left, again a manual, can't read what for
6. At 2:40, we can see the output of "top" or a similar program again, this time more clearly. We can see that the user is called "evilgenius" and the system is running on a computer with at least 4 CPU threads, and is running a lot of processes (unfortunately too blurry to read what the processes are)
7. At 3:20 on the left, we see another manual page (yes, if you use a command-line operating system, you might really spend more time reading the manual of a program, than using the program). Then it switches to a text output which looks very much like the hexadecimal representation of a payload of a network packet (such output can be obtained by network sniffing tools like "tcpdump"), including the conversion to ASCII text characters. At first look, the payload seems to be encrypted, which would suggest the packet went most likely through HTTPS or another encrypted network protocol. Then the window switches to some parts that we already saw before - showing last 8 lines of script "downloadfonts.rb" and showing the manual pages of program "nmap".
8. At 4:58 on the left, we have the zsh shell with a more complicated command. It is too blurry for me to read in detail and tell what exactly it does, but is seems like a loop which at the very least looks syntactically correct. And it produces a large number of zeros and ones on the output. The first line of zeros and ones does not seem like anything i recognize (e.g. it does not look like ASCII characters).
Are you having fun too, viewer?
Thanks! Also at 1:00 we have what looks like top again but tweaked to include cpu usage as bars. Do this by typing "1" in top to get individual cpu usages, then pressing "t" to switch display modes. Press "m" to switch mem/swap display modes too. The download at 1:28 is MacOS, since it's downloading from a "homebrew" repo and the file has the "sierra" code name. 5:07 has some more manual pages, I can make out the words "comma separated", could be anything, followed by some Hexadecimal something. Arjen might have to provide a copy of the GPL with this video.
I'm completely oblivious when it comes to coding, but it does align with what I said - "Everything about this is amazing"!
Metal head nerd! Way cool.
Of course the terminator runs on Linux. It is an incredibly efficient machine after all 😎
This has a Run Apocalypse Run vibe to it. It's also fucking awesome. Can't wait for this.
There has to be some sort of connection. It is just too similar, in theme and sound.
It's definitely the guitar riffs and keyboards. You're 100% right on that, I also picked up on it pretty quickly. XD
Dude, my exact same thought. Impossible to sit still there :D
Maybe a sequel shusahuashasu, but I agree with every comment here.
What i get is "Aces High" vibe. But now that you mention "Run, Apocalypse Run" is there too.
Amazing! I'm so glad to see Brittany getting the kind of recognition that gets you a part in one of Arjen's projects. Good job, Brittany and Arjen!
Ya, I posted on her facebook saying, as a fellow Canadian, I was so happy and proud that she is singing on an Arjen project and joins my other favorite female singers like Floor, Simone and Anneke!
Her voice got her on the record. She NAILED Fate of Man. What a way to open an album.
I can't believe I will see her next year in Tilburg in an Ayreon concert,.. hell yeah!!!
@@Carrinthe ... and she absolutely crushed it!
@@ifer1280 She absolutely did, didn't miss Floor at all!
Michael Romeo, one of the most underrated guitarists out there. Dude is phenomenal...
I don't know of anyone who actually knows of Romeo and underrates him. Maybe he's just not well known enough.
So happy Brittney is getting noticed. Our Canadian music treasure.
O, Canada! 🇨🇦
This song is great and its live version is even better!
HELL YES NEW STAR ONE
no way, you know them? I thought you`re only into duhdjent and deathcore lol
@@insertanynameyouwant5311 I don't listen to almost any of either of those
@@treyxaviermusic that`s cool then
We don't deserve Arjen! Glory to our universe!
Tall Hippie Man: Harmless!
But makes our hearts melt and our minds blow!
"Brittany Slayes!" Yes, she certainly does.
Brittney Slayes, one of the best Canadian metal singer.
I think Brittney perfectly fits in the Ayreon Universe, I hope she'll be back in some future Arjen projects ! Awesome song btw :)
When you need an A5 at full belt there's no one else who does it like Brittney Slayes! Thrilled to see her and Michael Romeo on this absolute BANGER of a song!
What a singer! I kept having cold chills and smiling!
Brit is amazing, always, but I feel there's something magical about Arjen and his projects that makes singers bright shinier than ever! Can't wait for the album!!
I agree , Arjen is a magician who makes good singers even better 🤘❤🤘
He sure knows how to bring out the best in any musician!
For all his impressive talents, I will never stop going on about how his top tier, 11/10 ability is in vocal direction and casting. He seems to know exactly what vocalists to use and how to use them for everything he does. Even the ones he claims to not like as much (ex.: Temple of the Cat) are still elevated to excellence in my opinion.
OH, WOW! Britney is slaying in the vocals (pun intended). That high note is still ringing in my ears. Seeing Arjen rocking the synth, guitar and bass makes my day! And Romeo! Holy sh*t! Fingers effortlessly dancing through the fret board. I've been a huge fan for over 15 years and it still amazes me to see him playing. Arjen, you are a freaking genius! Love your works.
What’s insane is that isn’t even close to her top range. It’s why she can always hit those so flawlessly even live…she harmonizes a lot of her lines in the studio an octave up. 😳
She's an absolute beast.
She sounds monotone live
@@001vivadiego I've seen her live three times, not true.
@@tomwisniewski8988 that's because you like her.
Everything about this is amazing. The visuals, the Hammonds, Arjen in his usual goofy awesomeness, Brittney downright slaying the vocals, Romeo's solo and Warby's supertight assault on the drums - this record is going to be so great, I can't wait!
"Brittney downright slaying the vocals" I see what you did there ;)
she really is a goddess of metal...what a voice!
Arjen has the ability to bring up the best of every musician.
He makes songs where they can exploit their full potential.
Holy shit Brittney really has an amazing performance in this!! Wow
I really like the power metal vibes on this song. Brittney's vocals don't disappoint.
Brittney - Michael - Arjen .. wow .. what a mix .. and of course the great drummer ...
What impresses me most is that she seems to have so much fun doing this.... knowing that Arjen feels that is so important, they nailed it.
has major aces high vibes I love it!
Brittney! Romeo! Unreal to see this combo. Now all i need is for Unleash the Archers and Symphony X to tour together and life will be complete.
Full of energy and never gets boring. Great song
You had me at "Brittney Slayes"...Michael Romeo was just icing on the cake.
The one and only Ed Warby! Great track!
After about 7 million listens, the only problem I have with this song is that it's too short.
I'm having a "Mr. Rock N Roll" moment over here... I don't even know what to say.
Absolutely killer tune!! Can't wait for the album.
What a fantastic track, the drive is merciless. Brittney is something special, she did great as I knew she would. I really love this song. Just have to be careful I'm not speeding when I put this on when I'm driving.
I have to ask: Do you speed while listening to Sabaton? Lol
@@isaiahwelch8066 LOL, I have to remind myself I'm not driving a tank and can't drive over the traffic jam. :)
It´s a matter of taste of course, but to me it´s the best song of the record by far. And Brittney is perfect.....
Arjen’s genius song writing, the usual cast of master musicians, and Brittney’s vocals! Life doesn’t get any better!
What a great song. Blasts through every nerve. That high note gave me goosebumps!
Goeie profiel foto. 👍😁
That drummer is quite the skilled beast 🤘
Ed Warby
Never heard this vocalist before. She did an amazing job. Great album intro. All musicians are so talented. Can't wait to hear the entire album.
check out her band! Unleash the Archers, they're all great.
I concur, definetely check out her band Unleash The Archers, specially the album "Apex".
Unleashing the Archers have been very hyped amongst power metal fans for 5-ish years, though - since the "Tonight We Ride (2015)" and "Awakening (2017)" music videos.
Better late than never :D
Unleash the Archers 💯🤘🏻
Yeah, check out the song Awakening by Unleash the Archers, also the songs Abyss, Apex, Legacy, Faster than Light
"So how high can we get you to scream?"
HIGH ENOUGH TO MAKE ROB HALFORD PROUD!
4:27 What a powerful moment, when the solo enters half-time!!!
And I LOVE the classic Arjen-synth play in the intro! Plus, great intensity on the riffs/drums!
3:08 is yet another powerful moment. I just love the vocals together with the open and redempting guitars. My favorite moment on the song. I always preferred and had a soft spot for rhythm guitars anyway
Excellent musicians + Britney Slayes + Michael Romeo... We want more, this is so epic!!! ^^
I love this video in Terminator style 😎 including the fun puns 😂
And awesome song of course ✌
Brittney Slayes und Floor Jansen.... Zwei vom Himmel gesandte Oktavenprinzessinen. 😇😇 Großartig... 👌🤘
This reminds me of RAINBOW so much, With a little bit of ELP style keyboards mixed in.
I never heard this before. I clicked because of Michael Romeo. As I expected he was the best thing about this song.
she wrote part of her first album in my house haha...good to see her moving up the metal ranks
She is the best!
Bet she will. Like a force of nature. Too strong to stay ignored.
@@peterdoe2617 : I would say Brittney is "The Wind That Shapes The Land," lol.
So glad I found this. Absolutely fantastic. Album of the year, in my opinion
Wow, what a powerfull song and vocals. This album is going to be insane! And this time in multichannel on Bluray. Take my money already Arjen. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Sounds good to these ears
Amazing!!! No words for this masterpiece. Arjen is a genius and everyone he invited for his albums.
I love brittneys voice.
Superman last time, Terminator this time. Arjen, you're such a lovable nerd.
Those vocals are very reminiscent of classic heavy metal voices, but at the same time she has her own tone and she sounds fantastic.
ROMEO is AMAZING!
Damn I hope to hear this on a live show one day. Almost as much as The Sixth Extinction :D
Oh yeah, live with Brittney!
her voice bro wtf soo powerrful
What a badass musical art of work great seeing my favorite guitarist Micheal Romeo and one of favorite female vocalist join you on this incredible song love it want more of it because more is more 🔥
What fun... what a trip musically and visually.
Brittney is a killer.
My copy came yesterday and it plays on repeat. This song is by far my favorite just like the movie it's based on! 🤘
OMG... Brittney and Arjen...How Perfect! I always thought about how perfect she would be for his projects. Next maybe a duet with Floor?
Sound quality of those drums is amazing!!! Great song! One of the most power metal songs I've heard in a long time.
Arjen seems to have some kind of magic to bring out the best in all the artists he works with.
I've listened to all the Star One albums many times, and I would go so far as to say that Space Metal would be in my top five albums of all time, but I think this just might be the best and most satisfying Star One song of all, and that says a lot given how brilliant so many of them are.
Super! Už sa teším na nový album. Ďaľší skvelý projekt.
Star One NEVER disappoints. Can't wait to hear the whole thing. 🤟🏽
This Woman beautiful as her voice is. The words are out of stock, it takes a poet to tell it worthily... Thank You guys!!!
All hail queen Brittney!true metal goddess!
I really love this song just fantastic!! her voice is so incredible i wish i could sing like that lol
Michael Romeo's playing is like butter
God-mode guitar, always.
The man is a machine it's absolutely absurd
My exact thought!
Wow Arjan!!!! Incredible song !!! I believe your smile while playing this song is the ultimate expression of the Force of your Music! (Real music.) Thanks for having you and your music!!!!!
WOW. Just...WOW. Already a UtA fan. This is incredible!
THIS IS STAR ONE, this is what I wanted to hear. Great singing, thunderous drumming and an ear blistering guitar solo.
HUGE fan of both Slayes and Romeo...never thought I would see them on the same track!
OMG! So blown away by Brittney Slayes. This is the first I've ever heard her. Incredible!
You are in for a trean… You just MUST get the two last albums from unleash the archer🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@jorgengabrielsson6660 Thanks for the rec.
@@msteele0 you’re welcome 🤘🏼
Listen to Apex and Abyss in order: One of the best musical "stories" I've heard to date, and exceptional skill to boot!
Apex by Unleash the Archers was one of my favorite releases in the past 20 years, so happy to see Arjen working with Brittney!
F me.
This might be the best song ever.
Wow, just wow!
Wow! What an awesome track. The Hippie, Mr Edd Warby plus an amazing ensemble. Mind. Blown.
No 'waste of ammo' in this video!
Great song of course, and I love the target reticule (circle) effect especially on Ed's drumming.
Good stuff, food stuff. Thank you Arjen and everyone who worked on this track.
AMAZING
I see "Michael Romeo".... I CLICK! Maestro Romeo is #1!
Epic! Amazing! Everyone’s performance was simply perfect!
This is so freaking cool! Couldn't stop smiling with this video, I love it.
Thank you, Arjen.
This is an ABSOLUTE BOMB. You know it´s Arjen, but wow Britney rocks more than ever here. She´s better and better with every song.
This is great! Britney is amazing as she always is. The instrumental is great and fast, just does not stop the energy.
Nice power metal touch indeed !
This made my day. Really powerful song.
We want more, we want more!
Brittney slaying it, as usual!
Great song, Arjen. I was missing more Star One!
Wow! I said that Brittney´s voice complete a cool "dream team" in this song! AWESOME!
WOW!!
I don't think I've loved one of your songs this much since The Day That The World Breaks Down.
Can't wait for the whole album!
Wow, just wow!!!!!
Lucassen and Michael Romeo are always amazing, but this girl... she's a star
This man makes me proud to be Dutch! :) Think I saw Arjen live with Vengeance in '85 or '86. Been a fan of him ever since! He makes awesome music and collects the best musicians! Thank you Arjen!
Brittney absolutely killed it! I wish the mix were a little more vocal-forward, but the song is great, and the video is a ton of fun.
Might be youtube compression
Agree with that... Excellent piece anyway!!
@@soon_to_emerge Hmmm, could be somewhat. Although usually it squashes drums and guitars more than the vocals... though I'm not an audio engineer. Just an audiophile. 🤓
My sentiments exactly!
So much talent in one place! Absolutely love Brittney! Well done Arjen!
Surrounding oneself with great people and yes...great music happens. Incredible vocals and the song kicks ass start to finish. Quite epic !!!
Once I saw Michael Romeo's name thats all I needed. One of the true Guitar Gods....Symphony X is amazing! This song stands apart from his work with Symphony X but, still crushes it. Fantastic vocals as well...WANT TO HEAR MORE!
If you don't know Ayreon's Dawn of a Million Souls, featuring both Russell Allen and Michael Romeo, check it out. It's slower than this but written by the same guy. And Romeo's solo is quite memorable.
300000 views! FINALLY ARJEN IS GETTING THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES
Yes, yet again! Arjen brings the best people to the ballpark!
Everything is perfect! Excellent vocals, guitar solo, brilliant composition!
Excellent old-school power metal 🤘
