On 28, August, 2020 John Petrucci released the album "Terminal Velocity".
The legendary guitarist John Petrucci, known to all of us from the band "Dream Theater", returned to the spotlight as a solo artist with the album "Terminal Velocity", which marks his first solo release in 15 years, following "Suspended Animation" released in 2005. For fans of Petrucci's virtuosity, "Terminal Velocity" is a master class of technical precision, melodic composition and exploration of diverse musical styles.
The performance on "Terminal Velocity" is amazing by any standard. John Petrucci's guitar work is, as expected, impeccable. Every note is precise, every solo is carefully crafted, and the sound is consistently rich and full.
It is worth noting that this album marks John Petrucci's first collaboration in a long time with his "Dream Theater" drummer Mike Portnoy, and this fact is enough to add to the musical chemistry and excitement of listening to the album. The bass work of Dave LaRue (known among others from the groups "Dixie Dregs", "Flying Colors" and others) provides a solid and technically complex foundation, which allows Petrucci and Portnoy to explore and improvise in new musical territories.
In terms of production, the album is polished and balanced, with each instrument given plenty of room to shine. Petrucci, who also produced the album, promises that his (and his friends') technical ability will not overshadow the musicianship. The mix is clean, allowing the listener to appreciate the intricacies of each of the tracks on the album.
The album "Terminal Velocity" is a triumphant "comeback" for John Petrucci as a solo artist. It's an album that will undoubtedly please the fans of both "Dream Theater" and Petrucci's solo releases. The combination of technical mastery, melodic sensitivity and stylistic diversity offers a comprehensive display that proves why John Petrucci is still still considered one of the greatest and most respected guitarists in the progressive metal genre.
