Artist Background: Star One (also referred to as Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Star One) is a Dutch progressive metal supergroup/side-project of Arjen Anthony Lucassen of Ayreon fame. Unlike Ayreon, albums don't follow one storyline; instead, each song is a different story with a sci-fi concept, most of the tracks based on existing movies and series. The band takes its name from the second season finale of Blake's 7. The music of Star One is heavier than that of Lucassen's progressive rock/metal opera project Ayreon... Part of the Netherlands music scene. Emerged in the 2000s era. Associated with Progressive Rock movement. Known for Rock/Pop style.
