Dream Theater share first new music since Mike Portnoy's return with nine-minute plus Night Terror

US prog mteallers Dream Theater have shared the first new music since drummer Mike Portnoy 's return to the band last year, sharing a video for their brand new single, the near ten-minute Night Terror .

At the same time the quintet have announced that they will release their brand new album, the band's sixteenth, Parasomnia , through InsideOut Music on February 7. It will be the first Dream Theater album to feature the iconic lineup of vocalist James LaBrie, guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, keyboardist Jordan Rudess, and Portnoy since 2009’s Black Clouds & Silver Linings .

"We've been working on it since February and it’s coming along," Petrucci told Prog . "I’m just so excited about it. It really has been awesome. I feel so great about the material and it has just been fun, it really has. I mean Mike and I have done things together before this. We’ve already connected musically and we even toured together for my solo album. So that’s already there.

"But you know, with him just coming back into the band, it has been great. It’s like we haven't missed a beat and it really feels like we’re 18 again. The flow was really, really smooth. There’s definitely an undeniable, creative chemistry there. You meet certain people in your life and you connect on an artistic level, and it just flows. We have been working in our own studio and our space has expanded. We have just built a new live room and control room, which is just beautiful."

As well as Night Terror , the new album features seven more tracks, containing 71- minutes of brand new music, which culminates in the near 20-minute epic The Shadow Man Incident .

Parasomnia 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, which you an see below.
