Arjen and Simone did a live this afternoon right after the song release and said that Aeterna was definitely meant to sound like a marriage of Epica and Ayreon and really appeal to both fandoms, but the rest of the album will experiment with a lot of different sounds! It’s an insanely cool and dramatic song-it’s like a space opera! So so excited to hear the rest of the album. It’s not releasing until all the way in August but there will be another single before then, and apparently there are more special guests than what’s currently listed on the track info 👀

This is everything! A compositional tours de force with the greatest queen vocalist in symphonic metal. Brilliant to pull in the master composer Arjen Luccasson on this…so massive!! Great reaction my friend and thank you for being the first that I see doing it!

As other are saying, this sounds soooooo very Ayreon - in a good way! It has Arjens fingerprints all over it :D Very excited about Simone's first solo album coming out in August......Simone in August and Nightwish in September, this summer is making my symphonic metal-loving heart very happy indeed :D

In a live chat on insta, Simone and Arjen discussed the upcoming solo album of Simone, titled 'Vermillion' (out Aug 23 by Nuclear Blast, I guess). Aeterna is the first track released and the opening track of the album. Arjen did compose the music and played instruments, how many, who knows. They also pointed out that Aeterna might be the closest track to Ayreon and that we should be prepared for a variety of styles. I'm sure, we won't get disappointed, considering Simone and Arjen teaming up. Also there will be a number of well known guests on the album. Very much looking forward to 'Vermillion'.

This dropped like a bomb. Totally unexpected! When Simone started teasing the colour red a couple of days ago, people though she would release a new lipstick. No one saw this coming! They kept a good secret! Anyway, the result is fantastic! Typical Ayreon sound, but it also gives me a bit the feeling of StarOne "Lost Children of the Universe", especially with the choir part. BTW I don't think you have done "Lost children of the Universe". You should really do that one. It is the most epic song of the last StarOne album.

It's heavier than Ayreon, and uses more choir, could be defined as an Ayreon and Epica blend IMO The rest of the album is confirmed to be different though which is cool

3 of my favourite singers have done solo projects this year. Simone, Tony Kakko with Himmelkraft and Kobra Paige's solo project she's doing. Love seeing these 3 just let their creativity shine. Charlotte Wessels just sent her songs to Napalm and waiting to see what happens. I hope Elize Ryd does a solo album because her vocal ability goes beyond what she does with Amaranthe. Loving all of this.

I know what you mean but then again, Arjen contributes also to other artists as well and those song he plays on partly almost turn into an Ayreon song as his guitarsound and way of playing is at least to my ears so recognisable. The album will be very different from this track so we'll see.😉
