We’re happy to announce that Arjen’s next musical adventure will be a collaboration with Dutch vocalist/guitarist Anneke van Giersbergen (ex The Gathering, Agua de Annique). Here’s what Anneke had to say on Facebook:

Yesch!! I’ll be teaming up with the one and only Arjen Lucassen for a concept double album! It will be the two of us, a fabulous overall theme and everything between very loud & pure acoustic. This will be something special! XxX

And Arjen had this to say:

Time has come to finally disclose my new project… it will be a collaboration between my favorite female singer Anneke Van Giersbergen and me! Expect an epic concept double album, a combination of ‘classical meets metal’ and ‘acoustic folk’. More details later!

More details later! Join in the conversation in the comments below, on Anneke’s Facebook or Arjen’s Facebook.

More details to follow!
