Yesterday, our favorite Dutch rocker and master of sci-fi prog, Arjen Lucassen, announced the name of his new project: Gentle Storm. I have no doubt it will be incredible. I’m sure–genetically!–Lucassen is constitutionally incapable of anything less than perfection. Equally exciting, Gentle Storm will be performing live.
Here’s hoping they come to Red Rocks!

We are excited to announce that Arjen’s collaboration with Anneke van Giersbergen will be called The Gentle Storm. The album is planned for release in early 2015.
Arjen likes to say that his touring days are over, but he’s helped Anneke form a stellar band for live dates in support of the album. You can find out more at your favorite social media pitstop:

Time has come to finally disclose my new project… it will be a collaboration between my favorite female singer Anneke van Giersbergen and me! Expect an epic concept double album, a combination of ‘classical meets metal’ and ‘acoustic folk’. More details later!
A progarchist take: God bless the Dutch. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
