What would you do if you knew the world was ending in five months?
Arjen Anthony Lucassen offers the soundtrack to humanity’s final days with the apocalyptic solo album “Songs No One Will Hear,” due on September 12, 2025 on InsideOut Music.
Thirteen years after his last solo album, “Lost In The New Real,” Arjen is back with a new solo release: “Songs No One Will Hear.” True to his signature style, this album offers an eclectic blend of tracks, moving seamlessly from powerful, epic songs to lighter, more playful ones. At its core, “Songs No One Will Hear” is bound by a profound concept: what would people do if they only had five months left to live because of an asteroid impact? Expect an emotional rollercoaster, delving into both the light and dark aspects of human nature.
Guiding the album is narration from Mike Mills (Toehider) along with collaborators like Irene and Floor Jansen, Robert Soeterboek, Marcela Bovio, and Patty Gurdy, adding depth to the album’s diverse sound!
To give a first glimpse into the album, Arjen is pleased to share the epic final track from the album “Our Final Song.”
