It is truly hard to compare anything to the mind-blowing greatness of Arjen Anthony Luccassen, even if you consider the ones considered “great” in the world of progressive metal.
I may place Ayreon on a pretty big pedestal, complete with a rabid unhealthy mancrush for the mastermind, but I firmly believe that if you want to sound like the best, Arjen isn’t a bad place to start. However, there is another band that hails from the forests of Lebanon, with phenomenal songwriting team and an army of guest appearances which could give the Dutch master a run for his money. EON may not be a name known to many, but any true fan of progressive metal would be wise to keep tabs with what emanates from the “Switzerland of the Middle East.
