Epic 2016 concept album by the long-established US Prog outfit and it’s a tale of a retro-futurist post-apocalyptic dystopia ruled by medieval style feudalism!
2016 Double Album recorded at Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, New York, with John Petrucci producing, studio luminary Richard Chycki (AEROSMITH, RUSH) engineering / mixing and legendary arranger, composer and conductor David Campbell orchestrating. David’s extensive credits include work for film, Broadway, and more than 450 gold / platinum albums by the likes of Paul McCartney, RUSH, MUSE, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, and Campbell’s son, Beck.
Campbell comments, "Probably the most ambitious album project I’ve known, for its stylistic scope and epic forces. In addition to being ace musicians at a stellar level, DREAM THEATER are masters of melodic and rhythmic excitement, which is dramatically demonstrated when you hear their music accompanied by full orchestra and choirs.”
‘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 also available as a Quadruple 180gm Vinyl LP Set – Stock # 1820459
‘The Astonishing’ 2CD is released on 29th January 2016.
