Dutch composer and multi-instrumentalist Arjen Anthony Lucassen is first and foremost known for his ongoing Ayreon project, and to a lesser extent a plethora of side projects: Ambeon, Stream of Passion, Star One, Guilt Machine and Strange Hobby. Some might also remember his tenures in hard rock bands Bodine and Vengeance. Lucassen has become a household name for most people with an interest in progressive metal in general and conceptual creations in particular. But as a project leader rather than as a solo artist per se.
Lucassen did release a solo album way back when: Pools of Sorrow, Waves of Joy, which saw the light of day in 1994. It didn't make that much of an impression however, and when his other projects took off his career as a purebred solo artist was given a lengthy hiatus. But in 2012 it was time to revive this part of his creativity again, with the release of Lost in the New Real. Which, at the time of writing, appears to have been a succesful one too. But if this is the first of many more to come or a brief sidetrack for Lucassen prior to returning to his various conceptual based projects remains to be seen.
