The Gentle Storm - The Diary (Inside Out)
Can a band formed by the one and only Arjen Lucassen and the
amazing vocalist Anneke van Giersbergen (well known for her work with The
Gathering as well as a plethora of projects including but not limited to Ayreon and Devin Townsend) go
wrong? The answer is hell no! “The diary” is the first album from The Gentle Storm and
it is more than you would expect. Set in the 17th century the album narrates a love story, and although sounding predictable, the concept of this album
should not be underestimated. While not on the same caliber as some of the Ayreon album concepts, it takes you on a world tour in that time from the port of Amsterdam to the shores of India.
The songs come in two versions, the "Gentle" album which is dominated by Anneke’s voice and acoustic guitars and the "Storm "edition where you can hear Lucassen’s guitars shredding as well as more powerful renditions of the songs. Most recommended!
