Dream Theater Open Up About Reuniting With Mike Portnoy on New Album
Dream Theater talk Mike Portnoy reunion with new album 'Parasomnia.'
Parasomnia marks the recording return of drummer and co-founder Mike Portnoy to the band’s ranks for the first time since 2009’s Black Clouds & Silver Linings. That quintet released six studio albums prior to Portnoy’s departure, and Petrucci acknowledges to Billboard that “we fully understand the gravity of Mike coming back and us being together again.” With its intricate arrangements, explosive dynamics, virtuosic playing and long-form compositions (six songs are over seven minutes and a closing epic, “The Shadow Man Incident,” clocks in at a heady 19:32), Parasomnia is everything Dream Theater envelopes while sounding decidedly present-day.
