Arjen Lucassen’s live Ayreon project titled AYREON UNIVERSE have shared a video for the track “Everybody Dies”. It’s been taken from the upcoming live package Ayreon Universe: The Best Of Ayreon Live, which is set to arrive today via Music Theories. The live track features vocals from NIGHTWISH’s Floor Jansen and Marco Hietala, NIGHTMARE’s Maggy Luyten and KAMELOT’s Tommy Karevik.
Lucassen says: “I’m extremely proud to present you the first full live video track of the upcoming Ayreon Universe DVD/Blu-ray. I picked Everybody Dies, which is not only a personal favourite, it also features many of the amazing singers and a lot of mayhem and commotion on stage. This is a total bitch of a track to play, but I must say the band totally nailed it. Hope you like it!”
The musical extravaganza was captured during three shows at Tilburg’s 013 venue last year which featured 18 singers along with 11 musicians, including HEADSPACE’s Damian Wilson, BLING GUARDIAN’s Hansi Kursch, VUUR’s Anneke van Giersbergen, KATATONIA’s Jonas Renkse and KAYAK’s Edward Reekers.
Along with the live music, the DVD will feature 90-minutes of exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, along with interviews with the full cast. The cover art, along with the final tracklist and the release formats can be seen below.
