Following on from 2016’s critically acclaimed “Overwrite the Sin”, “Alter Ego” sees Joost’s songwriting mature and develop, tackling personal subjects, including his own creative burn out. On this album Joost is joined by a stellar guest list including legendary Renaissance vocalist Annie Haslam, Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon), Mark Bogert (Knight Area), Sebas Honing (Equisa) and renowned solo artist Ben Craven. Equisa’s master of battery Stefan Maas drums throughout the album.
Joost’s music been compared to Queen, City Boy, ABBA, Ayreon, and Kansas – to name but a few. His blend of symphonic rock with melodic sensibilities sits beautifully with the BEM ethos of championing quality, genre-fluid music with a progressive outlook.
“Alter Ego” will be released through Bad Elephant Music on March 8th 2019.
