Comunicato stampa
Freschi della quarta nomination ai GRAMMY®, i DREAM THEATER hanno pubblicato un video live di “Night Terror”, il brano candidato come Best Metal Performance tratto dal loro ultimo album “Parasomnia” del 2025.

“Siamo davvero onorati e grati di aver ricevuto la nostra quarta nomination ai GRAMMY. Dopo 40 anni insieme, essere riconosciuti dalla comunità musicale significa ancora molto per noi. Quando abbiamo iniziato a scrivere ‘Night Terror’, è stato qualcosa di speciale a livello personale, quindi vedere che ha avuto questo successo è qualcosa che non diamo per scontato. Grazie alla Recording Academy per questo onore e congratulazioni a tutti i candidati di quest’anno”.

An album that was fifteen years in the making, Dream Theater released their sixteenth studio album, Parasomnia on February 7, 2025, via their longtime label home, Inside Out Music/Sony Music. From the opening track “In The Arms Of Morpheus” to the closer of “The Shadow Man Incident,” Dream Theater returned with a collection of songs that showcased what has earned the band a loyal following for four decades. Clocking in at 71 minutes, Parasomnia debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums, the Hard Music Albums and Current Rock Albums chart selling over 18,000 combined units the first week. It also debuted at #41 on the Billboard 200 which is notable for a progressive metal band and shows the bands devout fanbase. The album has spawned music videos for the tracks “Night Terror,” “Midnight Messiah,” “A Broken Man,” and most-recently, “Bend The Clock.” Parasomnia is a term for disruptive, sleep-related disturbances including sleepwalking, sleep paralysis, and night terrors. The album 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.

Beyond selling millions of records worldwide and gathering a billion-plus streams, Dream Theater have quietly evolved into progressive metal trailblazers over the course of an unprecedented journey earmarked by one unforgettable milestone after another. The career-launching Images & Words graced Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All-Time,” while Awake claimed #1 on Guitar World’s “Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994.” In addition to emerging as Classic Rock’s “15thGreatest Concept Album,” Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory toppled a fan-voted Rolling Stone poll as the “Number One All-Time Progressive Rock Album.” They shook the charts with three Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200 and headlined sold out shows everywhere from Radio City Music Hall to Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The band garnered a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Metal Performance” for “The Alien” from 2021’s A View From The Top of the World. Of the latter, PROG raved, “Not just proper Dream Theater, then, but something ever-so-slightly bigger and better,” and Consequence attested, “A View From the Top of the World shows that the quintet is still offering music that is easily on par with their earlier efforts.” Now, Dream Theater have returned to their roots as James LaBrie [vocals], John Petrucci [guitar], John Myung [bass], and Jordan Rudess [keyboards] reunite with Mike Portnoy [drums] during their fortieth anniversary. Simultaneously, these five old friends enter a bold new era fuelled by some of the most focused, formidable, and fiery music of their career. They’re harnessing the memories of the past and the promise of the future in order to make the most of the present. Ultimately, the group’s sixteenth full-length album, Parasomnia [Inside Out Music/Sony Music], represents both where they came from and where they’re going as not only bandmates, but as brothers.
