Dream Theater Announce Epic Double Concept Album

Dream Theater are set to release their eagerly awaited double concept album, The Astonishing, on 29 January 2016. With a massive 34 tracks spread across two acts, it’s sure to be one of the albums of the year. 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.

The Astonishing is the follow up to 2013’s Dream Theater, which earned Dream Theater a Grammy nomination. With such an epic release, The Astonishing will also be available in a wide range of distinctive versions, including standard 2-CD set, 4-LP vinyl box set and a limited edition deluxe box set, all of which are currently available for pre-order at http://bit.ly/TheAstonishingD2C.
