Ayreon to release new album 'The Source' soon

The tenth full-length album 'The Source' from progressive metal wizard Ayreon (guitarist Arjen Anthony Lucassen's creation) will soon be released, on April 28, 2017.

Arjen Lucassen commented on the cover artwork: "The cover was made by the amazing Yann Souetre, he created all the artwork for the new album. Yann's art inspired me enormously in the creative process of writing this album. The cool motion effects in the image below were done by David Letelier. Hope you like it as much as I do!"
