Multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning progressive metal outfit Dream Theater‘s sixteenth studio album has been given the title of “Parasomnia“. This opus, which finds the group reunited with drummer Mike Portnoy for the first time since 2009, will be out on February 07th through Inside Out Music/Sony Music.
Guitarist John Petrucci took on the production duties, while Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Amon Amarth) was hired on to mix it. Per an official press release, ‘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.
