Arjen
Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One, Guilt Machine) & Anneke van
Giersbergen (The Gathering, Devin Townsend Project) are set to release
the debut album 'The
Diary' from their new band The Gentle Storm on
March 24, 2015, and in the lead up they have been posting some revealing
behind the scenes videos. The latest one sees Anneke talking about Arjen and
the vast array of instruments he plays.
You
can watch that here:
You
can catch the previous updates in this youtube playlist:
A
lyric video for the track 'Endless
Sea (Storm Version)' was also recently launched and you can
see that here: http://youtu.be/iPE3j6Gg_r4
You
can also check out the Gentle version of 'Endless Sea' here:
The
album concept is a tale of love, loss, and separation told through the story
of two fictional seventeenth-century lovers. A Dutch sailor embarks on a
two-year voyage, leaving his wife at home in Holland. The only way for
the couple to communicate and keep their love alive during the long
separation is through letters. These letters form the basis for the songs on the
album.
They
are also pleased to announce that in advance of The Gentle Storm
full band shows, Arjen will join Anneke for a select few European live
acoustic dates in what will be quite a rare and special occasion.
