Dream Theater release new music video for ‘Invisible Monster’

DREAM THEATER have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Invisible Monster, is taken from the progressive metal titans’ upcoming new album, A View From The Top Of The World, which is scheduled to be released in October.

The new music video for the song was directed by William ‘Wombat’ Felch [MUDVAYNE, HELLYEAH, CROBOT, STATIC-X, NEFARIANT] and follows the story of an artist’s internal struggles as the band is showcased performing the track. The piece of art created by Felch in the video now lives inside DTHQ.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist John Petrucci says, “it was written after we’d written a bunch of material. A lot of the music was super energetic and upbeat tempo-wise. Mike suggested we do something a little different though. So, we started working on a more mid-temp song. The hook, riff, and melody changed so naturally. I equate it to Pull Me Under back in the day where we’d just start playing, something would come out, and we’d be like, ‘Whoa, that’s cool’. There’s a serendipitous moment where it happens. Lyrically, it’s about how anxiety plagues people. It’s like there’s an invisible monster beating you. You don’t see it, but it’s haunting you all of the time.”

A View From The Top Of The World is set for release on October 22nd via InsideOut Music. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
