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.

3 stars 2000: After Forever - Prison of Desire - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUg8XbTFjoz2o5DyyDEYdd36IwcMcf6Yf
3 stars 2001: After Forever - Decipher - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44BNkccoluU
3 stars 2004: After Forever - Invisible Circles - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKWCoz-CFMQ
4 stars 2005: After Forever - Remagine - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOkKAe_Lj1E

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.

4 stars 1992: Agharta - Shades of Secrets - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2j-bldMfvtFqdDa0jKS2aQjkEwx04eqm

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

4 stars 2003: Aina - Days of Rising Doom - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aJiZPOocPw

Dutch Symphonic & Progressive Metal

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.

4 stars 2016: Alarion - Waves of Destruction - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nuijhDyi1u9EkDL1Yi6YQMdV1gYljL5e8

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.
