Arjen Anthony Lucassen - Songs No One Will Hear *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 12th September 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

What would you do if you knew the world was ending in five months? This profound question lies at the heart of Arjen
Lucassen's latest creation, Songs No One Will Hear. A sonic trip that follows humanity's final days as a catastrophic asteroid
barrel toward Earth, the album blends dark humor, raw emotion, and the chaotic, surreal nature of the end times. Some people
panic, some throw parties, others fall apart—but a few find peace amidst the chaos. 
“It’s tragic, it’s absurd, it’s the soundtrack to the apocalypse.” 
Songs No One Will Hear is an eclectic masterpiece, drawing from a broad range of styles—rock, prog, pop, electronic, and
acoustic—infused with both light-hearted moments and deep, emotional intensity. It explores the full spectrum of human
emotion, from intense panic to unexpected serenity, with Arjen’s signature blend of complexity and accessibility. Fans will
experience a guitar-driven, modern, and more prog-oriented sound, evoking the energy and feeling of his earlier Ayreon work
while maintaining a tight, conceptually focused narrative. 
The album features more guitar solos, more female vocals, and a more band-like atmosphere than his previous release,
creating a sound that is dynamic and more immediate. This isn’t just a collection of songs, it’s a concept album that
encapsulates the final days before the asteroid strikes, full of twists, turns, and a relentless energy that mirrors the impending
doom. 
Arjen worked tirelessly to produce and record everything himself, capturing the vision of this apocalyptic soundscape from start
to finish. Highlights include stunning vocal contributions from Floor Jansen (on "The Clock Ticks Down") and a wide array of
guest performers like Robert Soeterboek, Marcela Bovio, Patty Gurdy on hurdy-gurdy, and Mike Mills narrating a chilling
moment of the story. 
Songs No One Will Hear is a stunning addition to Arjen Lucassen's already legendary body of work. Immerse yourself in the
final soundtrack of humanity.
