An album announcement that is fifteen years in the making, GRAMMY®-winning, progressive music titans Dream Theater return with their sixteenth studio album, Parasomnia. The album marks the first album featuring the iconic lineup of vocalist James LaBrie, guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, keyboardist Jordan Rudess and drummer Mike Portnoy since 2009’s Black Clouds & Silver Linings. The news on this latest album comes on the heels of the recent announcement of the tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of the band. Parasomnia is scheduled for release on February 7, 2025, via their longtime label home, Inside Out Music/Sony Music. The album was produced by Petrucci, engineered by James ‘Jimmy T’ Meslin, and mixed by Andy Sneap. Hugh Syme returns once again to lend his creative vision to the cover art. More information can be found at: www.dreamtheater.net.


From the opening track “In The Arms Of Morpheus” to the closer of “The Shadow Man Incident,” Dream Theater returns with a collection of songs that showcase what has earned the band a loyal following for four decades. Clocking in at 71 minutes, Parasomnia takes the listener on a musical journey that has become synonymous with the band since the beginning of their career. Parasomnia is a term for disruptive, sleep-related disturbances including sleepwalking, sleep paralysis, and night terrors. Songs like “A Broken Man,” “Dead Asleep,” “Midnight Messiah” and “Bend The Clock” all build upon the themes brought on by the album title. The first single, “Night Terror,” is a musical thrill ride captured in the just shy of ten minutes listening experience. A music video for the song – directed by Mike Leonard - is now available and can be seen here: https://youtu.be/2IPT60hvGw4.

Guitarist Sascha Gerstner comments, ""Best Time'" captures the energy and the moment when everything fits together perfectly and you leave everything negative behind.

That's why it conveys exactly this mood in concert as if you were living in a single great moment that lasts forever."

 


Florida's SEVEN KINGDOMS have released "Through These Waves," the second single from their highly anticipated upcoming EP, The Square. Set to drop on November 8th, 2024, via rising metal label Reigning Phoenix Music, The Square promises to deliver more of the band’s signature sound. "Through These Waves" is a three-and-a-half-minute burst of trad metal, packed with hooks that evoke the legends of the genre.

The band comments: "We are stoked to drop "Through These Waves today"! This is the heaviest track on the EP with hooks and melodies galore! We wanted to touch on the heavier side of our influences for this song and bring a bit of a different feel that we have not brought yet to our catalog. We really enjoy this tempo, as it’s also the first Seven Kingdoms song at this beat. We plan on having more like this on the upcoming record! The music video is a continuation of The Square’s visual story and will conclude the two part filming that we did for both these songs. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Please share and let us know what you think!”

Valontuoja, meaning "Bringer of Light" in Finnish, is the one-man Black Metal entity forged in the icy depths of Helsinki by the Jal'zoroth. Formed in 2024, Valontuoja channels the primordial essence of black metal, weaving a sonic tapestry that is both ferocious and hauntingly melodic. Valontuoja's soundscape is a maelstrom of raw, unyielding black metal fused with ethereal  and melodic elements.



Horror convention “Monsterpalooza” has given birth to a “mini” version of itself titled “Son of Monsterpalooza” which is now in it’s twelfth year running for 2024’s edition; happening the weekend of October 11th through the 13th in Burbank, California at The Marriott Burbank Convention Center & Hotel. This was the same spot Monsterpalooza happened before it moved to Pasadena’s convention center.

But Sunday October 13th is when I got to attend this take of a horror convention, showing up towards the late afternoon, knocking out the convention within an hour. Upon entry the crowd was decked out in their costume attire, various creatures, ghouls, and monster creatures from famous horror movies, TV shows, and the like. A lot of actors made appearances from musicians, actors from film and others. With vendors set up selling items, to panel discussions happening as well.








Browsing the convention center, having the chance to meet some of the cast of horror TV series Ash Vs. Evil Dead, horror rock musician Wednesday 13, and hearing about the lines spreading around the building for Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell and rock star musician Ozzy Osborne and his family! Many other guests came forth to meet and greet with fans, sign autographs, snap photos, and chat with you about why you enjoyed them in said work. Meeting some actors was lots of fun, one of the Ash VS. Evil Dead actors enjoyed the matching attire my partner and I sported upon attendance.

After doing some meet and greet’s, browsing the halls with the various vendors was fun, numerous merchandise, ranging from VHS movies, DVDs, posters, props, masks, pumpkins, stickers, figures, toys, plus much else, lots of people buying various items that caught their fancy. Panel discussions were held throughout the weekend, having guests discuss their time and place for said project, getting fans lined up awaiting to see and hear what they had to say.

All in all though, this miniature take of the infamous Monsterpalooza was a fun edition with this take of the Son Of Monsterpalooza, lots of scares, ghouls, and fun times that made this outing a scary good one.
