This fast and furious album opener is the second video clip/single of the new Star One album ‘Revel In Time’. The lyrics are inspired by the movie Terminator.
For me this is the most Star One-ish track on the album, reminiscent of ‘Set Your Controls’ from the first Star One album ‘Space Metal’. The lead vocals are by the amazingly talented singer Brittney Slayes of Unleash the Archers and the virtuoso guitar solo is by none other than Michael Romeo of Symphony X. One of my own favorite tracks on the album. Curious to read your comments below, enjoy!
Video clip edited by Dave Letelier... in true Terminator style :-)
drums: Ed Warby
Solina Strings: Erik van Ittersum
Hammond organ: Joost van den Broek
guitars, bass and keyboards: Arjen Lucassen
We’ll be back!

This is hands down the best Terminator related media to be released since 1991
Have you never heard of Austrian Death Machine??? ;)
@@jamesb120 just checked them out, fair point lol
I've always been a big fan of These Iron Bones by 3. :)
You must have missed Fear Factory's, "Obsolete".
For real!!
"Normally" if a music video contains computer code and screens, it tends to be gibberish. But here we have:
1. What appears on the left at 1:25 is real code to handle files, read them, and do some content manipulation. The code is written in scripting language Lua.
2. At 1:28 at the bottom, it says "install sbcl" and then two lines of output. This what installing software package "sbcl" might look like on Linux. SBCL is a compiler of programming language Lisp, and it is being downloaded in version 1.3.20, which is a real version from 2O17. At 1:57 the download continues.
3. At 1:58 on the right, the window first shows the real manual of program "ssh". This is a program used to connect to a computer's command line over network. Then the window exits the manual, and proceeds to use program "cd" to try to change the working directory. This is done in a shell environment called "zsh", which is also real. Directory is changed to "~/Desktop", which is simply a Desktop folder in the current user's homefolder. In that directory, it proceeds to use program "tail" to show the last 8 lines of file "downloadfonts.rb" which seems to be a Ruby script. Then the window switches to the manual page of program "nmap", which is a network discovery/probing tool.
4. At 2:13 on the left, it is blurry, but it looks like the output of program like "top", which shows running processes and system load on a Linux/Unix operating system.
5. 2:37 on the left, again a manual, can't read what for
6. At 2:40, we can see the output of "top" or a similar program again, this time more clearly. We can see that the user is called "evilgenius" and the system is running on a computer with at least 4 CPU threads, and is running a lot of processes (unfortunately too blurry to read what the processes are)
7. At 3:20 on the left, we see another manual page (yes, if you use a command-line operating system, you might really spend more time reading the manual of a program, than using the program). Then it switches to a text output which looks very much like the hexadecimal representation of a payload of a network packet (such output can be obtained by network sniffing tools like "tcpdump"), including the conversion to ASCII text characters. At first look, the payload seems to be encrypted, which would suggest the packet went most likely through HTTPS or another encrypted network protocol. Then the window switches to some parts that we already saw before - showing last 8 lines of script "downloadfonts.rb" and showing the manual pages of program "nmap".
8. At 4:58 on the left, we have the zsh shell with a more complicated command. It is too blurry for me to read in detail and tell what exactly it does, but is seems like a loop which at the very least looks syntactically correct. And it produces a large number of zeros and ones on the output. The first line of zeros and ones does not seem like anything i recognize (e.g. it does not look like ASCII characters).
Are you having fun too, viewer?
Thanks! Also at 1:00 we have what looks like top again but tweaked to include cpu usage as bars. Do this by typing "1" in top to get individual cpu usages, then pressing "t" to switch display modes. Press "m" to switch mem/swap display modes too. The download at 1:28 is MacOS, since it's downloading from a "homebrew" repo and the file has the "sierra" code name. 5:07 has some more manual pages, I can make out the words "comma separated", could be anything, followed by some Hexadecimal something. Arjen might have to provide a copy of the GPL with this video.
I'm completely oblivious when it comes to coding, but it does align with what I said - "Everything about this is amazing"!
Metal head nerd! Way cool.
Of course the terminator runs on Linux. It is an incredibly efficient machine after all 😎
Brittney Slayes + Ayreon! What a time to be alive!
I love the funny text displays, "tall Hippie detected, hamless" or when Michael Romeo comes in, "merciless shredding overload, incoming.." xD
Also, Brittney from Unleash The Archers, awesome!
Should have done a funny text display for her also. "Earth shattering metal vocals incoming" or something like this. xD
Probably should be "Merciless shredding overloRd"? Feels like a typo in the video.
That it wasn't 'mostly harmless' is a missed chance for a reference to hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy :P
"Danger: metal assult imminent" 😂😂😂
I thought it said "overlord" at first and I was disappointed when I realized it wasn't
The musicianship in this, and all of Arjen's projects is just absolutely out of this world (no pun intended). Cannot wait to get my hands on this new album when it comes out!
Tank facts right there!
@@PeTTs0n88 😂😂😂
Me too. I plan to preorder this one and I never done that before. As if Arjen projects were not the best already, getting Brittney Slays to sing on this project was too much to take lol take my money now 😆 😆 😆 💸 💸 💸
Awesome, Tank - yep Arjen and company delivered again, and one of my favourite singers featured, too! Brittney kills it
I was hoping for a reaction. I guess this counts!
Amazing! I'm so glad to see Brittany getting the kind of recognition that gets you a part in one of Arjen's projects. Good job, Brittany and Arjen!
Ya, I posted on her facebook saying, as a fellow Canadian, I was so happy and proud that she is singing on an Arjen project and joins my other favorite female singers like Floor, Simone and Anneke!
Her voice got her on the record. She NAILED Fate of Man. What a way to open an album.
I can't believe I will see her next year in Tilburg in an Ayreon concert,.. hell yeah!!!
@@Carrinthe ... and she absolutely crushed it!
@@ifer1280 She absolutely did, didn't miss Floor at all!
Michael Romeo, one of the most underrated guitarists out there. Dude is phenomenal...
I don't know of anyone who actually knows of Romeo and underrates him. Maybe he's just not well known enough.
"Brittany Slayes!" Yes, she certainly does.
This song is great and its live version is even better!
Brittney Slayes, one of the best Canadian metal singer.
So happy Brittney is getting noticed. Our Canadian music treasure.
O, Canada! 🇨🇦
This has a Run Apocalypse Run vibe to it. It's also fucking awesome. Can't wait for this.
There has to be some sort of connection. It is just too similar, in theme and sound.
It's definitely the guitar riffs and keyboards. You're 100% right on that, I also picked up on it pretty quickly. XD
Dude, my exact same thought. Impossible to sit still there :D
Maybe a sequel shusahuashasu, but I agree with every comment here.
What i get is "Aces High" vibe. But now that you mention "Run, Apocalypse Run" is there too.
OH, WOW! Britney is slaying in the vocals (pun intended). That high note is still ringing in my ears. Seeing Arjen rocking the synth, guitar and bass makes my day! And Romeo! Holy sh*t! Fingers effortlessly dancing through the fret board. I've been a huge fan for over 15 years and it still amazes me to see him playing. Arjen, you are a freaking genius! Love your works.
What’s insane is that isn’t even close to her top range. It’s why she can always hit those so flawlessly even live…she harmonizes a lot of her lines in the studio an octave up. 😳
She's an absolute beast.
She sounds monotone live
@@001vivadiego I've seen her live three times, not true.
@@tomwisniewski8988 that's because you like her.
When you need an A5 at full belt there's no one else who does it like Brittney Slayes! Thrilled to see her and Michael Romeo on this absolute BANGER of a song!
We don't deserve Arjen! Glory to our universe!
Tall Hippie Man: Harmless!
But makes our hearts melt and our minds blow!
HELL YES NEW STAR ONE
no way, you know them? I thought you`re only into duhdjent and deathcore lol
@@insertanynameyouwant5311 I don't listen to almost any of either of those
@@treyxaviermusic that`s cool then
I think Brittney perfectly fits in the Ayreon Universe, I hope she'll be back in some future Arjen projects ! Awesome song btw :)
Everything about this is amazing. The visuals, the Hammonds, Arjen in his usual goofy awesomeness, Brittney downright slaying the vocals, Romeo's solo and Warby's supertight assault on the drums - this record is going to be so great, I can't wait!
"Brittney downright slaying the vocals" I see what you did there ;)
What impresses me most is that she seems to have so much fun doing this.... knowing that Arjen feels that is so important, they nailed it.
Brit is amazing, always, but I feel there's something magical about Arjen and his projects that makes singers bright shinier than ever! Can't wait for the album!!
I agree , Arjen is a magician who makes good singers even better 🤘❤🤘
He sure knows how to bring out the best in any musician!
For all his impressive talents, I will never stop going on about how his top tier, 11/10 ability is in vocal direction and casting. He seems to know exactly what vocalists to use and how to use them for everything he does. Even the ones he claims to not like as much (ex.: Temple of the Cat) are still elevated to excellence in my opinion.
she really is a goddess of metal...what a voice!
The one and only Ed Warby! Great track!
I really like the power metal vibes on this song. Brittney's vocals don't disappoint.
I'm having a "Mr. Rock N Roll" moment over here... I don't even know what to say.
Absolutely killer tune!! Can't wait for the album.
Brittney! Romeo! Unreal to see this combo. Now all i need is for Unleash the Archers and Symphony X to tour together and life will be complete.
What a singer! I kept having cold chills and smiling!
Arjen has the ability to bring up the best of every musician.
He makes songs where they can exploit their full potential.
Holy shit Brittney really has an amazing performance in this!! Wow
You had me at "Brittney Slayes"...Michael Romeo was just icing on the cake.
Arjen’s genius song writing, the usual cast of master musicians, and Brittney’s vocals! Life doesn’t get any better!
After about 7 million listens, the only problem I have with this song is that it's too short.
It´s a matter of taste of course, but to me it´s the best song of the record by far. And Brittney is perfect.....
I never heard this before. I clicked because of Michael Romeo. As I expected he was the best thing about this song.
What a fantastic track, the drive is merciless. Brittney is something special, she did great as I knew she would. I really love this song. Just have to be careful I'm not speeding when I put this on when I'm driving.
I have to ask: Do you speed while listening to Sabaton? Lol
@@isaiahwelch8066 LOL, I have to remind myself I'm not driving a tank and can't drive over the traffic jam. :)
WOW. Just...WOW. Already a UtA fan. This is incredible!
ROMEO is AMAZING!
Those vocals are very reminiscent of classic heavy metal voices, but at the same time she has her own tone and she sounds fantastic.
Full of energy and never gets boring. Great song
That drummer is quite the skilled beast 🤘
Excellent musicians + Britney Slayes + Michael Romeo... We want more, this is so epic!!! ^^
Superman last time, Terminator this time. Arjen, you're such a lovable nerd.
I see "Michael Romeo".... I CLICK! Maestro Romeo is #1!
her voice bro wtf soo powerrful
What a badass musical art of work great seeing my favorite guitarist Micheal Romeo and one of favorite female vocalist join you on this incredible song love it want more of it because more is more 🔥
4:27 What a powerful moment, when the solo enters half-time!!!
And I LOVE the classic Arjen-synth play in the intro! Plus, great intensity on the riffs/drums!
3:08 is yet another powerful moment. I just love the vocals together with the open and redempting guitars. My favorite moment on the song. I always preferred and had a soft spot for rhythm guitars anyway
What a great song. Blasts through every nerve. That high note gave me goosebumps!
Goeie profiel foto. 👍😁
"So how high can we get you to scream?"
HIGH ENOUGH TO MAKE ROB HALFORD PROUD!
Michael Romeo's playing is like butter
God-mode guitar, always.
The man is a machine it's absolutely absurd
My exact thought!
Never heard this vocalist before. She did an amazing job. Great album intro. All musicians are so talented. Can't wait to hear the entire album.
check out her band! Unleash the Archers, they're all great.
I concur, definetely check out her band Unleash The Archers, specially the album "Apex".
Unleashing the Archers have been very hyped amongst power metal fans for 5-ish years, though - since the "Tonight We Ride (2015)" and "Awakening (2017)" music videos.
Better late than never :D
Unleash the Archers 💯🤘🏻
Yeah, check out the song Awakening by Unleash the Archers, also the songs Abyss, Apex, Legacy, Faster than Light
OMG... Brittney and Arjen...How Perfect! I always thought about how perfect she would be for his projects. Next maybe a duet with Floor?
Amazing!!! No words for this masterpiece. Arjen is a genius and everyone he invited for his albums.
So glad I found this. Absolutely fantastic. Album of the year, in my opinion
I love this video in Terminator style 😎 including the fun puns 😂
And awesome song of course ✌
I've listened to all the Star One albums many times, and I would go so far as to say that Space Metal would be in my top five albums of all time, but I think this just might be the best and most satisfying Star One song of all, and that says a lot given how brilliant so many of them are.
Wow Arjan!!!! Incredible song !!! I believe your smile while playing this song is the ultimate expression of the Force of your Music! (Real music.) Thanks for having you and your music!!!!!
300000 views! FINALLY ARJEN IS GETTING THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES
Lucassen and Michael Romeo are always amazing, but this girl... she's a star
Bella bella bella!!! 🤘🤘🤘 🤩 And now it remains only to wait... 🍃
This is an ABSOLUTE BOMB. You know it´s Arjen, but wow Britney rocks more than ever here. She´s better and better with every song.
Sound quality of those drums is amazing!!! Great song! One of the most power metal songs I've heard in a long time.
I only wish they would have shown Britney when she was actually recording it, instead of the polished “video“ shots of her. Genuine vocal shredding requested!
Arjen seems to have some kind of magic to bring out the best in all the artists he works with.
No 'waste of ammo' in this video!
Great song of course, and I love the target reticule (circle) effect especially on Ed's drumming.
Good stuff, food stuff. Thank you Arjen and everyone who worked on this track.
HUGE fan of both Slayes and Romeo...never thought I would see them on the same track!
What fun... what a trip musically and visually.
Brittney is a killer.
Epic! Amazing! Everyone’s performance was simply perfect!
Star One NEVER disappoints. Can't wait to hear the whole thing. 🤟🏽
That was GLORIOUS!
This Woman beautiful as her voice is. The words are out of stock, it takes a poet to tell it worthily... Thank You guys!!!
AMAZING
Wow, what a powerfull song and vocals. This album is going to be insane! And this time in multichannel on Bluray. Take my money already Arjen. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Yes, yet again! Arjen brings the best people to the ballpark!
All hail queen Brittney!true metal goddess!
F me.
This might be the best song ever.
Wow, just wow!
Sounds good to these ears
THIS IS STAR ONE, this is what I wanted to hear. Great singing, thunderous drumming and an ear blistering guitar solo.
Apex by Unleash the Archers was one of my favorite releases in the past 20 years, so happy to see Arjen working with Brittney!
Wow! What an awesome track. The Hippie, Mr Edd Warby plus an amazing ensemble. Mind. Blown.
Arjen is a machine in this one.
This is so freaking cool! Couldn't stop smiling with this video, I love it.
Thank you, Arjen.
Everything is perfect! Excellent vocals, guitar solo, brilliant composition!
Excellent old-school power metal 🤘
So much talent in one place! Absolutely love Brittney! Well done Arjen!
Wow, just wow!!!!!
WOW!!
I don't think I've loved one of your songs this much since The Day That The World Breaks Down.
Can't wait for the whole album!
This man makes me proud to be Dutch! :) Think I saw Arjen live with Vengeance in '85 or '86. Been a fan of him ever since! He makes awesome music and collects the best musicians! Thank you Arjen!
You got to love Brittney! 😍🤘
Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you all!
Brittney sounding and looking fantastic!
she wrote part of her first album in my house haha...good to see her moving up the metal ranks
She is the best!
Bet she will. Like a force of nature. Too strong to stay ignored.
@@peterdoe2617 : I would say Brittney is "The Wind That Shapes The Land," lol.
Wow! I said that Brittney´s voice complete a cool "dream team" in this song! AWESOME!
Surrounding oneself with great people and yes...great music happens. Incredible vocals and the song kicks ass start to finish. Quite epic !!!
I love brittneys voice.
Excelente nuevamente Ed Warbi
Super! Už sa teším na nový album. Ďaľší skvelý projekt.
has major aces high vibes I love it!
Brittney slaying it, as usual!
Great song, Arjen. I was missing more Star One!
My copy came yesterday and it plays on repeat. This song is by far my favorite just like the movie it's based on! 🤘
Ed is a MONSTER! Ed = Arjen Project's
That Romeo guy, is he the cleanest shredder to ever exist or what?
