AFTER FOREVER Singer To Guest On New AYREON CD; Audio Available - Sep. 11, 2007

AYREON, the brainchild of Dutch guitarist/composer Arjen Lucassen, has posted audio samples (sample#1, sample#2) of the next two guest singers who will appear on the band's upcoming album, tentatively due late 2007/early 2008: Phideaux Xavier and AFTER FOREVER frontwoman Floor Jansen. Other vocalists scheduled to appear on the CD include Bob Catley (MAGNUM), Anneke van Giersbergen (THE GATHERING), Jonas P. Renske (KATATONIA), Jorn Lande (MASTERPLAN), Tom S. Englund (EVERGREY), Ty Tabor (KING'S X), Magali Luyten (VIRUS IV), Simone Simons (EPICA) and Liselotte Hegt (DIAL). A total of fifteen singers have been confirmed to guest on the album, with more to be added.

AYREON's last CD, "Ayreon: The Human Equation", was released in 2004. It contained guest appearances by a number of acclaimed vocalists, including James LaBrie (DREAM THEATER), Mike Baker (SHADOW GALLERY), Mikael Åkerfeldt (OPETH), Eric Clayton (SAVIOUR MACHINE), Devon Graves (DEADSOUL TRIBE, ex-PSYCHOTIC WALTZ) and Devin Townsend (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD).

	COMMENT \| Phideau Xavier HAS to be a psuedonym posted by : Hawkwinder 9/11/2007 6:17:35 PM

	In fact it vsounds very much like...Nah, it couldn't be! Could it? So it just goes to show you Arjen is a 'little' fond of Simone just like millions of others of us are as well. Why couldn't God have created millions of women in the same category as her? Well anyways this is gonna be weird to hear the cd when it comes out and it won't have that 'I'm hearing this for the first time feeling'.
