Dream Theater released A View From The Top Of The World on October 22, 2021, and the release week saw the album top the charts hitting #1 on the Current Hard Music Charts, #2 on the Current Rock Albums Charts and also debuted at #52 on the Billboard 200. The album’s lead track The Alien later went on to win the GRAMMY® award for ‘Best Metal Performance’. Watch the video for that track here: https://youtu.be/V462IsOV3js

Canadian musical maverick Devin Townsend released his latest album Lightwork in late 2022, with Metal Injection calling it a “superb addition to his one-of-a-kind catalog”. Assembled from a barrage of material written during the pandemic, ‘Lightwork’ represents a kind of ‘light in the dark’ while trying to navigate the seemingly endless challenges that life can often present. This tour is Devin’s first North American run since March 2020. Watch the video for ‘Lightworker’ here: https://youtu.be/-udemfZRJrI

Animals as Leaders offer more than musicianship and proficiency - a focus on mood, texture, and emotive power elevating the material in a fascinatingly unique phenomenon.  Led by Tosin Abasi, a guitarist the Chicago Tribune calls “one of the top ten guitarists of all time”, the prog-metal trio continue to blaze the trail as, “…one of the finest, most interesting units in modern music ” (MetalSucks). They released their latest album Parrhesia in March 2022. Watch the video for ‘Red Miso’ here: https://youtu.be/gu-_kyU4dWk
