Alien Ant Farm

They are currently working on a new album; the name has yet to be released. In 2005, to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Ayreon, The Final Experiment was reissued with a bonus semi-acoustic disc; this reissue is not yet available in the United States. Joe Hill was named the new guitarist in 2005. Starting in 2004, Arjen began rereleasing his Ayreon catalog, with enhancements ranging from basic (The Universal Migrator, issued as a two-disc set instead of two separate albums) to drastic (Actual Fantasy, "Revisited" with completely re-recorded drums, bass, synth and flute). In 2004, guitarist Terry Corso split with the band citing "irreconcilible differences". With The Human Equation, Ayreon turned away from the usual science fiction and fantasy themes with a story taking place inside the head of a man lying comatose in a hospital bed after a bizarre car accident in broad daylight, with no other cars in sight. "Glow" has been a mainstream radio success, while also achieving long lasting top 20 success in New Zealand. As on Into the Electric Castle, there are several singers, each playing their own role.

Finally in winter 2002, Alien Ant Farm returned to the studio to work on their next album called truANT, which was released in 2003 produced by Stone Temple Pilots' Robert and Dean DeLeo. The latest Ayreon release is The Human Equation, released in 2004. The driver died and the band members had several injuries, including a broken neck for lead singer Dryden Mitchell. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) made an appearance on Flight of the Migrator, being probably the best-known musician to appear on an Ayreon album. The band was involved in a bus accident while touring in Spain. Again, both of these albums have about ten singers supported by many instrumentalists. Their following single "Movies" was a Top 5 hit in the UK and a Top 20 hit in New Zealand. 2: Flight of the Migrator.
