Their long-awaited new studio album, \"L.I.F.T.,\" their first since 2021's \"Innocence \u0026amp; Danger,\" is set for release in Japan. Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Eric Gillette, Bill Huber, and Randy Georgie?these five, who have boasted a strong bond for over 10 years, created this album during a major turning point and with limited production time. It is an ambitious work that imprints the most instinctive and vibrant NMB sound. \"L.I.F.T.\" was produced in a short, intensive period in April 2025, seizing the few gaps in Mike Portnoy's schedule as he was extremely busy with his return to Dream Theater. The songs, which make the most of improvisation and the band's chemistry, brilliantly fuse NMB's unique, magnificent progressive rock with a deep spiritual narrative. The album is a concept album depicting a \"spiritual hero's journey\" of \"connection,\" \"disconnection,\" and \"rebirth.\" From the uplifting opening track \"Fully Alive,\" to the heavy number \"Hurt People\" that sharply portrays a chain of pain, to \"Reaching\" which reaches out for hope after introspection and despair, a drama that shakes emotions and spirits unfolds throughout. The mixing is handled by the familiar Rich Mooser, who meticulously and dynamically brings together the information-rich arrangements, and Mike Portnoy's drumming, in particular, has an overwhelming presence. L.I.F.T.?its meaning is left to the listener. Ascension, liberation, faith, hope. This is an album in which each listener can find their own \"L.I.F.T.\" [Track Listing] Beginning Fully Alive I Still Belong Gravity's Grip Hurt People The Great Withdrawal Contemplation Shame About My Shame Reaching Carry You Again Shattered Barricade Fully Alive, Pt. 2 Love All Along Media Reviews and More Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Eric Gillette, Bill Huber, and Randy George?these five, who have boasted a strong bond for over 10 years, have created this ambitious work during a major turning point and with limited production time, imbuing it with the most instinctive and vibrant NMB sound.
