Biography:
Arjen Anthony Lucassen is the main force behind Ayreon. Lucassen along with a score of talented singers and musicians has created 3 epic albums. Each Ayreon album tells a unique story (see discography for details). Lucassen began his musical career with the group Bodine from releasing 3 albums from 1982-1984. In 1984-1992 Lucassen was in the band Vengeance. He released 4 albums with Vengeance before that band broke up. In 1992 he released a solo album under the name Anthony.
In 1994 Ayreon was created. Ayreon has currently released 3 albums with 2 new ones due in 2000. Lucassen continues the tradition of working with great musicians and singers on his forthcoming albums.
Excellent heavy symphonic band headed by the extraordinary musician and guitar player ARJEN LUCASSEN. Album after album, the band kept consistent musical creativity always topped with sci-fi oriented lyrics. Outstanding and innovative keyboard work performed by several musicians like ERIK NORLANDER and LUCASSEN himself among others give AYREON's music a special touch, but the very best is yet to come: the vocals are always performed by several different people, and names like FISH, Neil MORSE and Damian WILSON feature among others.
