Dream Theater's Progressive Metal Masterpiece
An ambitious work that combines technical perfection and musical depth from a band at the pinnacle of the modern progressive metal scene.
"Octavarium" is a monumental piece of progressive metal that brings together Dream Theater's exceptional performance and compositional talent. A 24-minute epic, "Octavarium" organically combines elements from classical music to heavy metal. John Petrucci's guitar work and Jordan Rudess' keyboard playing are particularly impressive, exploring the limits of modern instrumental performance.
