Golden Age of Music

Golden Age of Music is the first studio album by Arjen Lucassen's Supersonic Revolution. It was released on 19 May 2023 by Music Theories. The album focuses on the 1970s and is musically highly inspired by music from the 1970s, ranging from progressive rock to heavy metal to glam rock, more specifically names such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Rainbow, with its lyrics also referencing the cinema of that time, for example Steven Spielberg.

The project arose from a request of a German music magazine who asked Lucassen if he had a cover version available. He proposed to record one for them and with a deadline of one week quickly put together a band with some of his favorite musicians. After recording a cover of ZZ Top's "Heard It on the X", they decided to form a band and record a studio album.

The cover art is designed by Claudio Bergamin. It was promoted with three singles: "The Glamattack", released on 17 February; "Rise of the Starman", about David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust, on 23 March; and the title track on 20 April, containing references of the 1970s including T. Rex, Rainbow, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper and Thin Lizzy.
