Excuse me, according to Sportify, this is Arjen Anthony Lucassen’s Star One. This is a Dutch supergroup started by one Arjen Anthony Lucassen, of Aryeon. Oh also the singer is the lady from Unleash The Archers, so that’s probably why it rocks so hard.
The organ-sounding keyboard intro is pretty badass, and the keyboards give a spacey vibe to the whole thing. It’s nice they toss the lyrics on top of the video, so it’s not just a regular video and not just a lyric video. The true Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup video. Brittney Slayes does some awesome rock goblets while she’s belting out the lyrics, also she’s just a phenomenal singer so there’s that.
The guitar solos are fantastic, going from the tall hippie dude to the shredmaster general. Just super noodly shredding all around. Warning: Merciless Shredding Overload was a great pop up during the second solo.
I think is a song about the Terminator? Oh wait, it says that in the video description. It is a song about the terminator. And it’s also a video about the terminator coming back in time to watch this band shred their faces off, which I guess saves the fate of man. I don’t think the terminator can handle that much shred. That’s probably how humanity won.
Enjoy some metal!
