DREAM THEATER Debut “Our New World” Music Video
May 6, 2016, 8 years ago
Legendary prog-metal masters Dream Theater have debuted their official music video for “Our New World”, taken from their double concept album, The Astonishing, released in January by Roadrunner Records.
The video highlights the band’s immersive and interactive live show and captures the prog-virtuosos’ transcendent performances from their recent world tour. Watch below:
Consisting of 34 tracks spread across two unique acts, The Astonishing debuted atop Billboard’s Rock and Hard Rock album charts, marking the group’s third #1 Hard Rock album following Black Clouds & Silver Linings and 2013’s self-titled LP. In the UK, the record entered the main album chart at #11, the band's highest position ever in the UK.
Recorded at Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, New York, with John Petrucci producing, studio luminary Richard Chycki (Aerosmith, Rush) engineering/mixing and legendary arranger, composer and conductor David Campbell orchestrating, The Astonishing paints a tale of a retro-futurist post-apocalyptic dystopia ruled by medieval style feudalism. It’s a place aching for a Chosen One to rise above the noise and defeat an Empire defined by the endless drone of noise machines and the illusion of safety in bland conformity.
