Dream Theater release new music video for ‘Awaken The Master’

DREAM THEATER have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Awaken The Master, is taken from the progressive metal titans’ brand new album, A View From The Top Of The World, which was released last Friday.

Speaking about the song, guitarist John Petrucci says, “it’s the last song we wrote. It’s also the first time I’ve used my eight-string guitar, which was fun for me. Back in the day when we were writing Awake, I’d always wanted to play a seven-string. So, I ordered myself one. I wanted to be inspired again by the instrument without any pre-conception. I used it, and I wrote in my style on the eight-string. It was actually a prototype! Awaken The Master purposefully starts with guitar only. John Myung wrote the lyrics. Recently, I heard him say, ‘The master was your heart’. He was referring to awakening your heart. It’s one of the heavier songs on the record due to the range of the instrument.”
