The Shadow Man Incident The long-awaited comeback of Mike Portnoy, enjoyed by fans worldwide! Progressive metal giants Dream Theater release their 16th original album with the huge news of the surprise return of drummer Mike Portnoy. With their Grammy Award-winning track "The Alien" from their 2021 album "A View From The Top Of The World," they have further solidified their unshakeable position, but fans have long awaited the return of Portnoy, one of the band's founders, an unparalleled talent, and a core member of the band alongside John Petrucci (G) in songwriting and arranging. Their long-awaited reunions on Petrucci's solo album in 2020 and Liquid Tension Experiment in 2021 can be seen as the thawing of reconciliation that led to this session. The first single, "Night Terror," which was released in advance, is a powerful track that embodies the ideal chemistry of this band, allowing listeners to enjoy a tremendous ensemble built on Portnoy's creative and virtuosic drumming amidst a dark and heavy, unpredictable development. Featuring 8 tracks and a running time of 71 minutes, the album was mixed by Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Arch Enemy, Megadeth, etc.), who also mixed their previous album. The Japanese edition is in high-quality Blu-spec CD2 format. A limited edition with a Blu-ray disc is also available!
