Feat. mastermind/ multi-instrumentalist Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One) and vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen (ex- The Gathering, Devin Townsend Project) THE GENTLE STORM marks a truly astonishing collaboration. An epic production, containing two contrasting interpretations of the same songs: acoustic / folk arrangements (“Gentle”) and a full-on metal assault (“Storm”). This is symphonic metal/prog of blockbuster proportions and will also be presented live!
