Extra-Infos: Red Transparent Vinyl / 180gram / Incl.28pgs Comic Book
Description:â??Transitusâ?? builds around an entirely new story, not connected to the Ayreon universe although as always it does have some subtle links. The sci-fi theme makes way for a gothic ghost story set (partly) in the 19th century with elements of horror and the supernatural. Itâ??s on a dark thunderous night where our story of Abby and Daniel beginsâ?¦ - RED TRANSPARENT VINYL / 180GRAM / INCL.28PGS COMIC BOOK
Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. From the mastermind of Dutch multi-instrumentalist Arjen Lucassen, Transitus is inspired by supernatural movies such as The Others, The Changeling and Ghost along with the music of soundtrack composers John Carpenter (Halloween), Ennio Morricone (Once upon a Time in the West) and Jerry Goldsmith (Omen). Transitus is narrated by one of the most iconic and recognizable voices in sci-fi history, most known from his eight-year stint as Doctor Who, Tom Baker. As with any Ayreon album, it is an explosive and expansive affair and features Tommy Karevik (Kamelot) as Daniel and Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber) as Abby. The all-star cast also features Simone Simons (Epica), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), Joe Satriani, Marty Friedman, Johanne James (Threshold), Noa Gruman (Scardust), Marcela Bovio (MaYan), Caroline Westendorp (The Charm The Fury), Paul Manzi (Arena), Michael Mills (Toehider) and Amanda Somerville (Avantasia, Trillium) amongst many others.
Comes with a free copy of the comic book, pre orders also included a signed postcard. Limited to 500 copies.
"Transitus (2LP 180Gr. Red Vinyl + 28 page Comic Book)" is an ambitious concept album by Ayreon, presented here in an exclusive double-LP edition on heavyweight 180 g red vinyl, accompanied by a lavish 28-page comic book. This release invites listeners into a cinematic, sci-fi/fantasy universe in which the storyline unfolds through richly orchestrated progressive rock and metal, symphonic arrangements, and dramatic vocal performances. The warm, detailed sound of the 180 g pressings highlights Ayreon's trademark blend of powerful guitars, atmospheric keyboards, and immersive sound design, making this edition ideal for collectors and audiophiles alike. The included comic book visually expands the album's narrative, guiding you through key scenes and characters while you listen, and turning the record into a complete, multi-sensory experience that sits perfectly on the shelf next to graphic novels and deluxe box sets.

Ayreon is the brainchild of Dutch musician and composer Arjen Lucassen, known for his epic rock operas that span progressive rock, metal, and symphonic music. Over the years, Ayreon has become a cult phenomenon in the prog world, with acclaimed concept albums that feature intricate storytelling and a rotating cast of guest vocalists from renowned bands. Releases like "Into the Electric Castle", "The Human Equation" and "The Source" have earned Ayreon a dedicated global fan base, sold-out live productions, and frequent top positions in specialist prog and metal polls. With each new project, Ayreon continues to push the boundaries of what a concept album can be, and "Transitus" is another milestone in that ongoing artistic evolution.

The set's visual and tactile elements are just as carefully crafted as the music: the red vinyl pressings underscore the dramatic tone of the story, while the artwork and layout of the 28-page comic book bring the album's fictional world vividly to life. Lyrics, characters and scenes are tightly interwoven, rewarding close listening and repeated readings. This makes the release not only an excellent entry point into the Ayreon universe for newcomers, but also a must-have collector's piece for long-time fans who want to experience the album on a deeper narrative level.

MASCOT LABEL GROUP, the manufacturer behind this edition, is an established independent label group known in particular for high-quality rock, blues, prog and metal releases. With a catalog that spans many respected artists and bands, the company has built a reputation for solid production standards, carefully curated signings and a strong focus on artist development.

Perfect package and awesome product. Can't recommend enough to prog rock/metal fans. There’s so much to unpack from “Transitus” from the many vocalists to the engaging story and overall charisma of the record. Whether you enjoy all the elements or not, there has to be something in here that will make you tick. When thinking about how many elements went into these 80 minutes of music, I find it outstanding how well it all connected into one huge piece, and how the concept comes alive through skillful use of reprises, hints and teasing. There may even be some clues to connect this album’s story to the tapestry of intertwined dimensions and time frames in the rest of the discography, though the connection is not yet clear to me. “Transitus” is yet another masterpiece by our Dutch genius who simply refuses to disappoint and if you’re a fan of concept albums, prog music, or just a total nerd, you have to dive into its experience!
