Ambeon is a Dutch progressive metal act, a project consisting mainly of multi-instrumentalist composer Arjen Anthony Lucassen and vocalist Astrid van der Veen. The act's first and only album to date, "Fate of a Dreamer", was recorded in 2001, when van der Veen was just 14 years old. Ambeon's atmospheric sound draws from a wide variety of influences, including Celtic, gothic and progressive music. The songs on "Fate of a Dreamer" are mostly composed of different remixed pieces of songs from Ayreon albums, whereas the lyrics are original, written by van der Veen.

Etymology

The name "Ambeon" is a Portmanteau of the words "Ambient" and "Ayreon". As the music - sans vocals - is based on previous Ayreon songs, it could be said this act is "Ambient Ayreon."Ambeon can be said to be progressive metal with elements of dark ambient music.

Future

Lucassen has said that he would like to release more Ambeon albums:
