Dream Theater released their new album, Parasomnia, on February 7th. It marks the return of founding drummer, Mike Portnoy, who left the band in 2010 and was replaced by Mike Mangini.
Portnoy shared the following message for the album release:
“Exactly one year ago (to the day!), Feb 7th, 2024, the five of us stood in the same room together for the first time in well over a decade…we then spent the majority of the year creating our first album together in 15 years. Today, we can finally share it with all of you.
We could not be prouder or more excited about what we created. We were so inspired being together again and feel we really rose to the occasion to create something special. Parasomnia represents everything that is classic Dream Theater, mixing tastes of the past with visions of the future…
We hope you enjoy this sonic experience. It is best enjoyed in your optimum listening environment..(preferably from start to finish like watching a film). But however you take it in, we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it.”
