Welcome to the magical and epic world of Ayreon! Well, kind of XD I’ll start with a small note: this song isn’t technically Ayreon. Ayreon and Star One are two different projects by Dutch composer Arjen Lucassen. This song is from Star One, but it was done at an Ayreon concert as one of a couple encore performances since the singer, Brittney Slayes, only had a small guest part on the album they performed as the main feature (she stood in for Floor Jansen’s part). So not a critical difference, but if you want to look the song up, Star One is the name you’ll find it under, and it’s not part of the Ayreon “universe” storyline. Another encore song was done by our lovely Simone Simons from Epica as well, singing her song This Human Equation from Ayreon’s Transitus album! That said, it’s one of my favorite performances from the show, and an absolutely legendary show all together! Brittney Slayes, if you’re unfamiliar with her, is a Canadian power metal singer from the band Unleash the Archers. Your face when she hit those high notes!!! I honest to god thought there were two singers on this song before I saw the video cuz I was NOT expecting her to have such a range. As you also might have gathered from the researching, Ayreon is the composer, not the singer. His albums are basically giant rock operas and he works with a huge “cast” of singers plus instrumentalists from all throughout the metal scene. Check out The Sixth Extinction from this show-it’s the album finale so the whole cast comes out on stage and you’ll see what I mean! Or The Day That the World Breaks Down, the show finale. Literally, there was a time when people thought it was inconceivable to perform Ayreon live because of the logistics of getting everyone together. BUT THEY DO IT!

Day that the world breaks down live is awesome too. Ps Ayreon doesn't have a lead singer. Arjen, the composer, has a whole universe of singers and musicians at his disposal that he uses. Here you have Brittnay Slays from Unleash the Archers

The song lyrics reference and are a tribute to "The Terminator", so you were spot on in your discussion of the lyrics. The Ayreon / Star One fanbase generally doesn't get upset, so it's fine to say this reminds you (in a distant way) of Nightwish. Lucassen's projects are prog metal, and sometimes some Nightwish related vocalists show up. 😄As do people like Tommy Karevik, Damian Wilson, Michael Mills and Epica's Simone Simons, to name but a few. A good intro to Ayreon is The Day That the World Breaks Down - maybe watch the music video for the studio version first, then check out the live version - recorded at the same show as this track. Ayreon is celebrating their 30th anniversary in September this year with five shows in the Netherlands 🔥

I don't know if Nightwish or Ayreon is leading the list of most criminally underexposed music, so if discovering one leads to finding the other that is fine.

Finally Ayreon Arjen Lucassen has been making musical rock opera story telling music for a very long time Ayreon is just one project Star one is another. Arjen invites many many talented musicians and singers to perform for him some local or closer to home others far more abroad his style is classed more as progressive rock/metal.

Complicated, but bear with me. Although this was played at an Ayreon concert it is actually a Star One song. Arjen Anthony Lucassen is perhaps best known for his Ayreon project, but he is the brains behind a few different projects, including Star One, The Gentle Storm and Guilt Machine. This entire concert featured a live performance of the Ayreon album "01011010", and after they had performed that, they played a few songs from different albums/ projects. "01011010" is the ASCII code for the letter "Y" which happens to be the name of the planet on which the first CD from the album is set (the album is a double CD). Brittney Hayes (better known as Brittney Slayes for obvious reasons) is the lead singer of Unleash The Archers (worth watching the full band play through of "Awakening") is here performing the song she sang on the Star One album "Revel In Time", but during this concert she took over Floor Jansen's role from the 01011010 album (as Floor couldn't attend as she was having a baby at the time). Floor's sister Irene is one of the backing vocalists. To get a better idea of the Ayreon Universe, you need to watch the video "Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down - The Source (2017)" on Arjen Anthony Lucassen's KZbin channel.

IIRC the karaoke performance was why Arjen first saw her and decided he wanted to work with her. Then, because the 2 yearly Ayreon concert was too close to when Floor had to give birth to Lucy, Arjen asked her to fill in for Floor and sing her Star One song live in Tilburg. (I think that Arjen even asked her to replace 'someone who can not make it this time' and Brittney accepted before he told her that that 'someone' was Floor). She did great and is now a full member of the Ayreon family.

Now you're in the rabbit hole of Ayreon (lots to discover yet). Check the band Epic also ! the lead singer "Smone" is also an singer in some songs from Ayreon. You will like Epica !

Ayreon is not so much a band, more like a project. Their composition is different all the time (especially in the live concerts), though there are many regulars who often return to make an appearance. The only real constant is Arjen Anthony Lucassen, who comes up with all the stuff. The people he invites generally are all artists in their own right either as part of other (mostly Metal) bands, or as solo artists.
