Dream Theater – reveal new album & first single as world tour begins in London next week

An album announcement that is fifteen years in the making, GRAMMY®-winning, progressive music titans Dream Theater return with their sixteenth studio album, Parasomnia.

The album marks the first album featuring the iconic lineup of vocalist James LaBrie, guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, keyboardist Jordan Rudess, and drummer Mike Portnoy since 2009’s Black Clouds & Silver LiningsThe news on this latest album comes hot on the heels of the recent announcement of the tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of the band, which kicks off in London in ten days time.

Parasomnia is scheduled for release on February 7, 2025, via their longtime label home, Inside Out Music/Sony Music. 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.

From the opening track “In The Arms Of Morpheus” to closer “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 first single, “Night Terror,” is a musical thrill ride captured in just shy of ten minutes listening experience. A music video for the song – directed by Mike Leonard
