With the return of Portnoy behind the kit, Parasomnia has easily been the most hyped Dream Theater album in years. The veteran drummer’s unrivaled abilities have seemingly unlocked something in his bandmates, as the songs showcase a heavier and more daring version of Dream Theater.
In total, three singles were released leading up the album’s release: “Night Terror,” “A Broken Man,” and “Midnight Messiah,” with the latter featuring Portnoy’s first lyrical contributions since his original stint in the band. We included each of those tracks in our recurring Heavy Song of the Week column, with the lead single “Night Terror” notching the top spot on the rundown this past October.
