Dream Theater have released an animated video for their single The Alien, the first taste of the band’s upcoming fifteenth studio album A View From The Top Of The World.
“It’s the first one we wrote together. It gives people a window into what it was like when we initially met up after all of those months off. It has the adventure, the untraditional structure, the heaviness, and the hooks. It really set the tone for the album,” explains John Petrucci. “James wrote the lyrics about the idea of terraforming and looking beyond our Earth for alternative settlements. Since we’re going beyond our planet, ‘The Alien’ turns out to be us. I thought it was a cool and creative lyric by James.”
A View From The Top Of The World is due for release on 22nd October 2021 via InsideOutMusic/Song Music, available to pre-order in various formats HERE.
