Dream Theater‘s brand new single “The Alien” has officially arrived on the internet. It’s the first proper taste of their fifteenth studio album “A View From The Top Of The World“, which is headed for an October 22nd release date.
Guitarist John Petrucci offered the following of “The Alien“:
“It’s the first one we wrote together. It gives people a window into what it was like when we initially met up after all of those months off. It has the adventure, the untraditional structure, the heaviness, and the hooks. It really set the tone for the album. James wrote the lyrics about the idea of terraforming and looking beyond our Earth for alternative settlements. Since we’re going beyond our planet, ‘The Alien‘ turns out to be us. I thought it was a cool and creative lyric by James.”
