Wrapping up the successful European leg of their 40th Anniversary Tour 2024 – 2025 last week, GRAMMY®-winning, progressive music titans Dream Theater are releasing the next piece of music from their sixteenth studio album, Parasomnia. The track “A Broken Man” is the latest track from the iconic reunited lineup of vocalist James LaBrie, guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, keyboardist Jordan Rudess and drummer Mike Portnoy. The song opens with a driving musical barrage that subsides as LaBrie tells the story of a war vet who is experiencing sleep disturbances such as nightmares and insomnia, due to combat experience. The song contains audio from actual vets speaking about their personal horrors and replaying the traumatic events of wartime deployments. A visualizer for the song - created by longtime collaborator Wayne Joyner - that captures the essence of “A Broken Man” is now available here: https://youtu.be/FRHWThPzrU4.
