Ayreon Universe Best Of Live Pre-Sales Available Now!

Dear Ayreonauts and other prog-loving people,

After creating rock operas in the studio for more than 20 years, prog mastermind Arjen Lucassen, aka Ayreon, finally took his Universe to the stage in September 2017. Three shows sold out within hours after announcing. 9000+ Fans from all corners of the world flocked to the 013 venue in Tilburg, the Netherlands to see this long-awaited show live.

Almost everything has been recorded, and you know that we want to give the Ayreon fans what they want. We will unleash the entire 2.5-hour show on various formats on March 30, 2018.

And here’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… You can pre-order AYREON UNIVERSE!

Here’s a list of all the items:

  • Earbook – 2CD/2DVD/Blu-ray (album + full show + bonus material on DVD and Blu-ray)
  • Blu-ray
  • 2DVD
  • 2CD

T-SHIRT BUNDLES
We made bundles of 2 different t-shirts that were only available at the Ayreon Universe shows. This is your final chance to get exclusive Ayreon Universe merch. The merch will not be reprinted. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

EXCLUSIVE MERCH
Along with the 2 t-shirt bundles we have limited stock of men’s and ladies long sleeve shirts, a rather snazzy worker shirt and goodies like pendants, lanyards, and tote bags. We could make a lot more bundles, but we hope you understand that it’s not possible to put dozens of combinations in the shop.

BUNDLES SHIP FROM EUROPE ONLY
An important note about the merch bundles: Because everything’s stored in our warehouse in the Netherlands, we will only offer the merch bundles in the MLG EU store, and not in the US store. If you live in North America and want to get exclusive Ayreon merch, visit the EU store here.

SIGNED BY ARJEN
As always, all pre-ordered earbooks, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and vinyl will be signed by Arjen and we will a free poster to every order!

All the best,
The Ayreon Team

Michael-Alan Taylor Releases 1st Video “Guinevere” From Upcoming Solo Album

The new solo album by Nth Ascension front man Michael-Alan Taylor will be released in 2018, Guinevere is the first video from his upcoming album Avalonia (The Chronicles of Guinevere), being released on Melodic Revolution Records Summer of 2018. We are pleased to give you a peek inside this stunning album revolving around the Arthurian Romances.

The video was shot completely on location at Pendragon Castle, Cumbria UK. It is a heartfelt tribute to Guinevere the Queen, from the heart of Lancelot. As he returns from battle to the castle where it all started, his memories of Guinevere flood back as he looks upon the ruin, battle weary and mortally wounded.The lush orchestration meets the beautiful landscape giving rise to a cinematic delight that draws you in and leaves you begging for more.
