Dream Theater have released a further trailer for their latest album The Astonishing.
The video, which can be viewed below, features a narration explaining the album’s concept. The Astonishing was released in January with an earlier trailer issued that same month.
In the video, the narrator says: “For generations, the Great Northern Empire of The Americas remained unchallenged. The mock elegance of an elite aristocracy in the illusion of comfort, they provided conjured a medieval-like feudalism from within the ruins of societal collapse.
“But now, from the distant village of Ravenskill, a magnificent power threatens the false tranquility enforced by the ever-watchful Nomacs. A literal force stirs the people and the heavens, threatening the very deepest of slumbers with the awakening power of artistic expression.”
Dream Theater are on world tour in support of the album.
