New official trailer.

It is such a cool little trip that when it gets to the part with Gary Wehrkamp I can look and go... HOLY SHIT, I SAT IN THE CHAIR WHERE HE'S DOING THAT GUITAR SOLO.

Swano's parts on space metal took a while for me to like, now i love them, especially on sandrider.
I must confess that I mostly just listen for when Russell Allen goes mental though...

All 4 of the singers are just awesome.

Floor's Boobs

I completely agree.

ariich · « **Reply #39 on:** October 07, 2010, 04:43:02 PM »

Her voice is so awesome that I actually find it more exciting than her boobs.

As amazing as that sounds.

does not compute

Silver Tears · « **Reply #41 on:** October 10, 2010, 10:43:19 AM »

I think her voice and boobs are equally awesome.

Dan Swano

PixelDream · « **Reply #44 on:** October 10, 2010, 03:31:12 PM »

Big Russell Allen fan here (not quite the SymX fan nowadays, but I still think he's an awesome vocalist). But hell, Dan Swano's stuff was really cool in this clip. Sounds like his potential was underused on the first Star One album.

Nice to hear this album's style is really Star One but just a bit heavier. Star One is my over the top prog-metal music of choice. Otherwise I don't really listen to the genre anymore. If anyone has a good recommendation, it's much welcomed.

Adami · « **Reply #45 on:** October 10, 2010, 03:38:18 PM »

I really hope he tours for this album again, with the same line up as last time, and makes another DVD. Oh man.

Check this clip from Damian Wilson. This is AMAZING!!

Got the promo this morning... only three tracks in and it's fantastic already.

I hate you Nick. <3

Prepare to hate me more... I may be interviewing Arjen on Thursday.

Make sure you mention him using Jon Oliva in his next project

Nick · « **Reply #51 on:** October 14, 2010, 01:54:13 PM »

I just got off the phone with Arjen Lucassen, I can die happy now.

I played drums on a recording that he was on. I'll see you in the next life.

Nice, all I can boast is an appearance on the Guilt Machine album.

In any case I'll be posting an interview and review of the new album before the night is through.

That song they got streaming is awesome. Just the way I like my Star One. Heavy and cheesy.

Oh yeah.

I've only listened to a couple of songs but this is wonderful music.

I guess my own piano medley recording will have to wait for about an hour

kala1928 · « **Reply #58 on:** October 26, 2010, 07:04:28 AM »

Love the a cappella ending in digital rain

ariich · « **Reply #59 on:** October 26, 2010, 11:56:54 AM »

Merged the threads as the last one was hardly that long.

Need to check out the new album, sounds really fun.

abydos · « **Reply #60 on:** October 26, 2010, 12:00:52 PM »

Yeah, it's definitely a huge step above Space Metal, imo. Both are great, but this one is just fantastic - great riffs, great singing and melodies. The guitar/keyboard riff or whatever it is called in the middle and end of Human See, Human Die is just so badass and it only gets better when Swano comes in.
Swano, Wilson, Allen... <3

No worries dude, I was looking for the Star One thread but couldn't find it.

ZBomber · « **Reply #62 on:** October 26, 2010, 02:51:43 PM »

The album sounded awesome to me, but some of the lyrics were pretty cringe-worthy.

abydos · « **Reply #63 on:** October 26, 2010, 03:23:31 PM »

This is Star One and the first album was called Space Metal. You should throw all lyrics requirements and expectations out the window before you listen to it.

Well I meant even in comparison to the first album.

abydos · « **Reply #65 on:** October 26, 2010, 03:32:08 PM »

Which ones do you mean? None of them make me cringe so far but I've never bothered to actually read them. The only thing that comes to mind is when Swano sings "Falls illusions" in the final song. Aren't illusions by definitions false? Or by false illusions does he mean that this is something true? I r confuzzled now.

You have a damn good point there. An illusion is basically a false perception of something that is not real. That could very well in actual fact mean that what he thought was an illusion is actually reality.

Listening right now and

Wish people would knock off the lyric complaints isn't science fiction not supposed to make complete sense or factual? this reminds me of the people who complain about the Matrix its sc-fi get over it!!

kala1928 · « **Reply #68 on:** October 27, 2010, 06:09:58 AM »

There is a difference between bad and just simple generic fantasy/scifi lyrics. Arjen has been dipping his toes in the bad lyrics pool for a couple of albums now. (e equals mc squared anyone?)

wolfking · « **Reply #69 on:** October 27, 2010, 06:13:27 AM »

Am I the only one that was a little disappointed with 011100100? (whatever it is)
