With their upcoming US tour about to kick-off this week, GRAMMY®-winning, progressive music titans Dream Theater is releasing a music video for the fan-favorite, critically-acclaimed track Bend The Clock. The song comes from the band’s chart-topping 16th studio album, Parasomnia, and showcases that the iconic lineup of James LaBrie [vocals], John Petrucci [guitar], John Myung [bass], Jordan Rudess [keyboards] and Mike Portnoy [drums] haven’t missed a beat. The song is slower tempo with an emotive lyrical message by LaBrie and an unforgettable guitar solo by Petrucci that is destined to be a standout on their upcoming tour. The music video for the song is a haunting visual directed by Erez Bader and continues the bands’ tradition of releasing engaging visuals as companion pieces to their music. The music video for Bend The Clock can be seen below.

I love the new Dream Theater album and am so glad Portnoy is back with the band. I was so looking forward to seeing Dream Theater on the tour for this new album, but I refuse to spend $160 dollars for a concert ticket. IMO, concert ticket prices are just crazy expensive nowadays and I can’t justify spending that much for a concert experience…..unless it’s Iron Maiden, and even then it’s hard.
