Dutch Symphonic & Progressive Metal
AFTER FOREVER After Forever waiting for PA to be repaired and restored to its former glory it's time for the first powerhouse of Dutch Symphonic Metal: After Forever, appropriately enough. Prepare to be floored by the soprano siren-song-call of 6ft-tall statuesque beauty Floor Jansen (later of Nightwish fame) whose towering presence commands the stage, despite bandmate Mark Jansen (no relation) constantly trying to upstage her with his annoying screams and death growls. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - April 28 2025 at 13:46 |

Dutch Symphonic & Progressive Metal AGHARTA A one-man force of nature (Martin De Boer) with a name inspired by the mythical kingdom that's said to encircle the inner surface of the Earth. Agharta belt maybe. ![]() ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - April 29 2025 at 05:47 |

AINA If you thought Dutch Metal Opera was strictly confined to the prodigious output of Arjen Anthony Lucassen, then you Aina heard nothing yet. ![]() ![]() |

ALARION A clarion-call announces the stunning arrival of Bas Wiilemsen, the one-man wave of Heavy Metal destruction behind the storm and thunder sound of Alarion. There's more fire & fury here than a Trump press conference. ![]() ![]() |

AMBEON An ambitious one-off album project from the pen of Dutch Metal Maestro Arjen Anthony Lucassen - renowned for having more spin-offs than Star Trek - in which the songs of Ayreon are given a dramatic re-working, just like the song below which, as Fate would have it, sounds like something Tangerine Dream might have recorded back in their heyday. ![]() ![]() |

ARABESQUE A jazzy Progressive Metal band from Limburg, although there's nothing remotely cheesy about this Dutch outfit - unlike their German Euro Disco namesakes. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

THE AURORA PROJECT The Netherlands' answer to Porcupine Tree - only without a prickly frontman - and all of the lyrics are in English too. After all, when was the last time you heard a Dutch band singing in their native language? Nooit! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

AYREON It's time to realise an Actual Fantasy today by unleashing the awesome power of multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist, Arjen Anthony Lucassen, who is of course best-known for his epic Progressive Space Metal band, Ayreon. In line with The Theory of Everything, I'll also be journeying Into the Electric Castle by way of Arjen's side-projects too, including his three solo albums and his many other works under the various band-names:- Ambeon; The Gentle Storm; Guilt Machine; Star One & Stream of Passion. That's quite a line-up from a truly prolific composer! In The Human Equation, Ayreon also features an impressive cast of guest singers from the world of Metal, including James LaBrie (Dream Theater); Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)l Simone Simons (Epica); & Floor Jansen (After Forever & Nightwish) to name just four. And so, it's time now to Embrace the Storm of Progressive Metal coming our way as we Transitus back in time aboard the Universal Migrator to The Source of Ayreon and their ironically titled debut album, The Final Experiment. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - May 04 2025 at 05:13 |

THE BARSTOOL PHILOSOPHERS The mellower side of Dutch Progressive Metal, The Barstool Philosophers are as pleasantly surprising as a quiet night out with legendary inebriated hellraisers Burton, Harris, O'Toole & Reed. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

BLACKBRIAR Dark romantic metal. I'm sure there's a band lurking there somewhere in the background, but who cares about the band when their singer Zora Cock (Yes, really!) is as pretty as a butterfly. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

CAMBRIAN When it comes to musicianship, Cambrian are as solid as a rock, but they really need to change their singer before making another album. ![]() ![]() |
