Star One's sophomore album 'Victims of the Modern Age' singer list is:

Russell Allen (Symphony X)
Damian Wilson (Headspace, Threshold)
Floor Jansen (ReVamp, ex-After Forever)
Dan Swanö (Nightingale, Second Sky, ex-Edge Of Sanity)

Here's what Arjen Lucassen has to say about the concept of 'Victims of the Modern Age':

"I based the songs on dystopian and post-apocalyptic sci-fi movies that have made an impression on me throughout my life. Unlike the first Star One album 'Space Metal', where all the songs were set in space, this time most of the songs take place right here on Earth. No, I'm not going to tell you which movies inspired the tracks - that would spoil all the fun! And I do hope that the dark subject matter won’t keep people from enjoying this journey through time to some of the more grim possible outcomes for humanity's future."
