Grammy-winning, progressive music titans, Dream Theater, will released their sixteenth studio album, Parasomnia, tomorrow (Friday, February 7) via their longtime label home, Inside Out Music/Sony Music.
The band have shared the video below, stating, “During our tour rehearsals we all got the chance to unbox the deluxe edition of our new album Parasomnia, out this Friday, February 7!”
From the opening track “In The Arms Of Morpheus” to the closer of “The Shadow Man Incident,” Dream Theater returns with a collection of songs that showcase what has earned the band a loyal following for four decades. Clocking in at 71 minutes, Parasomnia takes the listener on a musical journey that has become synonymous with the band since the beginning of their career. Parasomnia is a term for disruptive, sleep-related disturbances including sleepwalking, sleep paralysis, and night terrors. Songs like “A Broken Man,” “Dead Asleep,” “Midnight Messiah” and “Bend The Clock” all build upon the themes brought on by the album title.
The album was produced by Petrucci, engineered by James ‘Jimmy T’ Meslin, and mixed by Andy Sneap. Hugh Syme returns once again to lend his creative vision to the cover art.
