Dream Theater are preparing extensive box sets for their new conceptual double album, “The Astonishing“. Due to the production of a 3D NOMAC (the spherical robot which graces the album’s cover) those sets will ship a bit later than the album’s January 29th release date. The band commented:
“We have put together two very special box sets for The Astonishing and we are thrilled to share them with all of you! While you can click on the link below to find all of the details about these beautiful sets, there is one thing that we feel it’s important to explain: there is a specific component to the Deluxe Box Sets that is not only very cool, but that we believe is crucial; the NOMAC 3D replica.
Because of the intricacies involved in creating this unique model (they are all hand painted!), it is taking longer than originally anticipated to produce. Of all the items we’ve put together when designing The Astonishing box sets, this is the one we’re most excited about! As a result, the Deluxe Box Sets won’t be shipping until March, so for those of you who choose to pre-order, we’ll be sending you the physical double-album CD, plus a small gift on the date of release, as a sign of our appreciation for your patience while you await delivery of the full package.
Trust us, these box sets will be worth the wait!
We can’t tell you how proud and enthused we are about The Astonishing, and we really can’t wait for everyone to hear it!– Dream Theater“
