Die mit dem GRAMMY® ausgezeichneten Progressive-Music-Titanen Dream Theater melden sich mit ihrem sechzehnten Studioalbum Parasomnia zurück – eine Albumankündigung, die fünfzehn Jahre auf sich hat warten lassen. Es ist das erste Album mit der ikonischen Besetzung von Sänger James LaBrie, Gitarrist John Petrucci, Bassist John Myung, Keyboarder Jordan Rudess und Schlagzeuger Mike Portnoy seit Black Clouds & Silver Linings von 2009. Die Bekanntgabe des neuen Albums folgt auf die kürzliche Ankündigung der Tour zum 40-jährigen Bestehen der Band. Parasomnia erscheint am 7. Februar 2025 über ihr langjähriges Label Inside Out Music/Sony Music. Das Album wurde von Petrucci produziert, von James ‚Jimmy T‘ Meslin aufgenommen und von Andy Sneap abgemischt. Hugh Syme kehrt erneut zurück, um seine kreative Vision für das Coverartwork zur Verfügung zu stellen. Weitere Informationen findet man unter:
www.dreamtheater.netVom Eröffnungstrack „In The Arms Of Morpheus“ bis zum letzten Stück „The Shadow Man Incident“ kehren Dream Theater mit einer Sammlung von Songs zurück, die zeigen, was der Band seit vier Jahrzehnten eine treue Fangemeinde beschert hat. Mit einer Spielzeit von 71 Minuten nimmt Parasomnia den Hörer mit auf eine musikalische Reise, die seit den Anfängen der Band zum Synonym für diese geworden ist. Parasomnia ist ein Begriff für disruptive, schlafbezogene Störungen wie Schlafwandeln, Schlafparalysen und Alpträume. Songs wie „A Broken Man“, „Dead Asleep“, „Midnight Messiah“ und „Bend The Clock“ bauen alle auf den Themen auf, die der Albumtitel anspricht. Die erste Single „Night Terror“ ist ein musikalischer Nervenkitzel, der in den knapp zehn Minuten Hörerlebnis eingefangen wird. Ein Musikvideo zu dem Song – unter der Regie von Mike Leonard – ist jetzt verfügbar und kann hier angesehen werden: https://youtu.be/2IPT60hvGw4.
