Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy has shared his thoughts on the response the band received for their new single ‘Night Terror.’
“Incredible!! Almost 2 Million Views on YouTube in under a week,” the drummer shared on Instagram. “Thank you all for the overwhelming response to Night Terror… it’s been great reading the comments, watching the reaction videos and covers, etc The excitement is palpable! Cannot wait to share the rest of the album with you all in February, but in the meantime… time to kick off this 40th Anniversary Tour in a few days and we are so excited to play for you ALL everywhere we can!”
The band has been teasing the album for a while now. The members shared several posts on social media, saying they were almost done with the album. More recently, they started teasing that the album was done by sharing videos featuring each band member, except Portnoy. Each video included lyrics from the song ‘Night Terror.’
Dream Theater will release their ‘Parasomnia,’ on February 7, 2025, through InsideOut Music. This will be the band’s first album with drummer Mike Portnoy since 2009’s ‘Black Clouds & Silver Linings.’ The announcement comes right after the news about the band’s tour for their 40th anniversary.
