Dream Theater Release “Parasomnia”
Dream Theater have released their sixteenth studio album, “Parasomnia.”
Produced by guitarist John Petrucci, the LP marks the band’s first release with drummer Mike Portnoy since ’09’s “Black Clouds & Silver Linings.”
“He (Portnoy) was gone for a long time,” noted keyboardist Jordan Rudess. “When I listen back to the music that we’ve been creating, it’s got his stamp on it.”
The set features the singles “Night Terror” and “A Broken Man.”
“A Broken Man” contains audio from actual vets speaking about their personal horrors and replaying the traumatic events of wartime deployments.
Portnoy (pictured) co-founded Dream Theater in ’85. with Petrucci and bassist John Myung, but exited the group in ’10.
While away, Portnoy was in Sons Of Apollo, Flying Colors and Avenged Sevenfold… to name a few of his projects.
