With their upcoming US tour about to kick-off this week, GRAMMY®-winning, progressive music titans DREAM THEATER are releasing a music video for the fan-favourite, 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.
Dream Theater returns to the road across the US this week continuing their An Evening With Dream Theater run that will celebrate the band’s recent chart-topping 16th studio album, Parasomnia. Dream Theater will be performing their latest album in its entirety, as well as performing the entire 7-movement masterpiece “A Change of Seasons” for the first time since Mike Portnoy’s return as well as other classics and fan favourites from their catalogue.

An album that was fifteen years in the making, Dream Theater released their sixteenth studio album, Parasomnia on February 7, 2025, via their longtime label home, Inside Out Music/Sony Music. From the opening track “In The Arms Of Morpheus” to the closer of “The Shadow Man Incident,” Dream Theater returned with a collection of songs that showcased what has earned the band a loyal following for four decades.
Clocking in at 71 minutes, Parasomnia debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums, the Hard Music Albums and Current Rock Albums chart selling over 18,000 combined units the first week. It also debuted at #41 on the Billboard 200 which is notable for a progressive metal band and shows the bands devout fanbase. Parasomnia is a term for disruptive, sleep-related disturbances including sleepwalking, sleep paralysis, and night terrors.
