Arjen Anthony Lucassen is a Dutch multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter, best known for his progressive rock and metal opera project, Ayreon. He is a prolific artist who has built a massive following with his intricate concept albums, often featuring a large cast of guest musicians and vocalists. Lucassen is celebrated for his ambitious storytelling and his ability to blend various musical genres into a cohesive and epic sound.
The song "Goddamn Conspiracy" is a track from his solo album, Songs No One Will Hear, which is a concept album about what people would do if they knew the world was ending in five months due to an asteroid impact. The song is a more upbeat, hard-rocking track that takes a satirical and semi-humorous look at the world of conspiracy theories. The song's lyrics directly address popular conspiracy theories like the flat Earth and fake moon landings. In the context of the album's story, the song also touches on people who refuse to believe the asteroid is real, seeing it as just another "goddamn conspiracy." Lucassen has stated that the song is a commentary on the "unsettling age of AI and misinformation," where it's increasingly difficult to know what's real and what's not. The track is a sharp contrast to some of his more emotional songs, showcasing his ability to tackle heavy themes with a playful, yet thought-provoking, rock and roll energy.
