Also, final singer is offcourse the almighty Russel Allen! But that was kind of to be expected due to him winning the fan vote and him being involved in the concert as well
Thus far most samples have resonated very strongly with me, but it seems this one is going to be a lot more metal orientated, like DS:p2, 0101.., or even Star One songs. Some of these samples also have elements I haven't really heard in Ayreon before, which is exciting to me. Only samples that did nothing for me were the keyboard solo, Tommy Rogers, and Nils K. Rue. And Zaher Zorgati but his role will be very limited Arjen said, so I expect that to be a small atmospheric moment in a song rather than him being prominent somewhere (I love his voice though).
