What would you do if you knew the world was ending in five months? This profound question lies at the heart of Arjen Lucassen’s latest creation, ‘Songs No One Will Hear’. A sonic trip that follows humanity’s final days as a catastrophic asteroid barrel toward Earth, the album blends dark humour, raw emotion, and the chaotic, surreal nature of the end times. Some people panic, some throw parties, others fall apart – but a few find peace amidst the chaos. Arjen worked tirelessly to produce and record everything himself, capturing the vision of this apocalyptic soundscape from start to finish. Highlights include stunning vocal contributions from Floor Jansen (on ‘The Clock Ticks Down’) and a wide array of guest performers like Robert Soeterboek, Marcela Bovio, Patty Gurdy on hurdy-gurdy, and Mike Mills narrating a chilling moment of the story.
