DREAM THEATER SHARES NEW SINGLE "A BROKEN MAN"

"A Broken Man" opens with a driving musical barrage that subsides as singer James LaBrie tells the story of a war vet who is experiencing sleep disturbances such as nightmares and insomnia, due to combat experience.

The song contains audio from actual vets speaking about their personal horrors and replaying the traumatic events of wartime deployments. A visualizer for the song — created by longtime collaborator Wayne Joyner —

AVANTASIA RELEASE "CREEPSHOW" NEW SINGLE & MUSIC VIDEO

Rock and metal flagship, Avantasia, will release their 10th studio album Here Be Dragons, on February 28.

The band unleashes the energizing first new single, “Creepshow”.

The new track is one of the catchiest songs of Avantasia’s career so far, and it arrives with an exciting, cinematic

music video. The guaranteed future hit rings in a new era of Avantasia and will be an integral

part of Avantasia’s spectacular live shows.

Tobias Sammet on the single and video:

"'Creepshow' is a perfect single. It’s short and catchy, and it emphasizes a facet of my work that has taken a backseat in my music in recent years. It’s light-hearted and the opposite of melancholic. And it's fresh, boisterous and unabashed - a straightforward kick-ass anthem. Also, even though it may seem like a reminiscence of my earlier writing, I think we managed to turn the whole thing into a trademark Avantasia tune, as we accentuated with the music video.

We rented a haunted castle in North England and celebrated a night in the world of spectres and undead creatures. This is the most vibrant and eccentric music video I’ve ever shot in my entire career, not dead-serious, but certainly of serious quality! I can’t wait to play 'Creepshow' live on our tour next year,

I can already see the whole venue jumping up and down and screaming along!”

'Premonition' comes in laying bare the heart and soul of Eluveitie's music, while transporting deep ancient wisdom of the Celtic into the modern age, wielding druidic words to point out the way through the deepest struggle within and all around ourselves. We hope you'll enjoy this piece of music as much as we do ourselves!"
