  • TERMINAL VELOCITY ALBUM OUT NOW! - orcd.co/TerminalVelocity
    GET TICKETS FOR MY FIRST EVER SOLO TOUR THIS FALL: bnds.us/srbden
    Terminal Velocity marks the first solo album by John Petrucci to be released in 15 years, as well as, his first through The Orchard Music on his Sound Mind Music record label. The artwork was created by Sean M. Smith at Echo Designlab (Stone Sour, Hollywood Undead, In This Moment). Terminal Velocity was written and produced by John Petrucci, recorded by James ‘Jimmy T’ Meslin and mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Killswitch Engage, Arch Enemy).
    The album sees the return of bassist Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs, Flying Colors) who played on John’s debut solo album and subsequent G3 tours, as well as, an eagerly anticipated reunion with former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy (Transatlantic, Winery Dogs, Sons Of Apollo). “It was awesome bringing Dave back to play bass on this album. He is just such a monster player who can handle anything you throw at him with tastefulness and unmatched musicality. His melodic approach to bass lines along with impeccable technique and groove for days really stands out on these tunes.”
    Portnoy’s appearance on Terminal Velocity marks the first recording of the guitarist and his former bandmate in over a decade and the first since Portnoy left the band in 2010. “Having Mike play drums on this record was really special for me and he did an absolutely incredible job navigating the various styles and technical challenges my music presented in the way that only he can do. It was very cathartic for the both of us, I think, to be playing music together again after all these years and it really felt great! Mike’s spirited, intuitive and energetic playing truly helped to elevate these new songs to a level that I couldn’t be happier with.”
    In the beginning of March 2020 while the COVID-19 global pandemic was unrelentingly reeking it’s havoc on the world and especially NY, John started working on the music that would make up Terminal Velocity at the DT Headquarters on Long Island with engineer Jimmy T at the helm. “All DT touring for the rest of the year was either being cancelled or postponed and even though I had already planned on starting the project this Spring, I suddenly found myself with many unanticipated months at home. Jimmy T and I would head into the DTHQ 5 days week for about 2 and a half months and, as I wrote and constructed the new tunes, he was right there capturing it all and turning it into a record. Initially, he programmed drums and we shared bass playing responsibilities just to get the ideas to a place where they sounded like completed and cohesive songs but we always anticipating that ‘work in progress’ drums and bass would eventually be replaced.”
    The 9 songs on Terminal Velocity showcase John’s affinity for writing tightly-weaved guitar instrumental powerhouses that feature everything from monster riff breaks to passion-filled melodic themes worthy of film soundtracks, to all-out shred extravaganzas that leave the listener feeling like they just stepped off of a thrilling musical roller coaster ride. “Much like the songs on my first solo album, Suspended Animation, I wanted the new tunes to really showcase what I’m all about as a player and to give an up-to-date depiction of where I am musically and how I like to express myself on the instrument. It’s about capturing the attitude of the performances and of course as always, very much about capturing the tone that I’ve worked so hard over the years to develop and refine.”
    Although a few of the songs that make up Terminal Velocity were actually written quite a long time ago and even played live but never properly recorded, over half the album’s content is new music that John created while in the studio during the quarantine. “I believe that making this record when I did really helped me to maintain a sense of stability and normalcy during such a crazy time in our history.” “It was encouraging for me and my family to embrace something so hopeful and positive as we faced a very uncertain future in the music industry and in the world and for that, I am truly grateful for having music be such a big part of my life.”

      John is such a technician, but he is always so musical it doesn't bother me. He has absolutely whooped my ass into a 10x more disciplined player over the last 25 years. He inspires me to play more than anyone ever has. Fortunately, 99% of that time is when I have a guitar or 2 a few feet away at most.
      It's easier than ever to approach his technique with all this vidjas and interwebs and everything in between floating around. I had to do it the fucking HARD way...wearing tapes out, looking at (BAD) tabs like ?#@?? How the FUCK is that like THAT?? LOL...those were the days. Not really. What with these Fractals and Mark V plugins and such, you can get the tone for less than ever...it used to cost $10k at the minimum to have that kind of tone...plus a shitload of studio knowledge. Polished tones are like water these days, all you gotta do is learn how to drink it like a pro.

      @@Minenangel I love the singing....in my experiences, making a guitar sing is the best way to captivate an audience.
      I've been at this sport for 30 years now, since I was a little snot nose 13 year old wearing Levis's and Metallica shirts. I thought I could play pretty good by the time I was 18. I could definitely play, but I had NO CLUE that this was literally the starting point of playing...it's the advanced stuff that really separates the men from the boys. Things like dynamics, tone, control, spot on intonated bends, vibrato, volume control, proper use of effects, improvisation, smooth and tasty bar work, etc....and making EVERY note count and have its own flavor and delivery.
      I think I'm FINALLY starting to really understand this here wooden thing, it only took 3 decades. 😂

    I remember in a very old interview JP saying that when he writes a 1.5 minute solo, his main concern is that the listener won't yawn through it. And that's exactly what he does, at least in my book. He's the only shredder I know where every note seems to be meticulously and painstakingly placed exactly where it's supposed to be. Listening to his solos makes me feel like they were there all along, just waiting for him to piece them together. A unique and unmatched talent.

      Damn right, I usually don't listen to solo albums because I find the guitar to be too flashy. But this song has a ballance to it, the drums fit perfectly the riffs and solos! :)

    This feels like coming home to mom. The groove is so fetching. Classic old school 90 shred. Perfect. A hint of erotomania vibe on the solo and the count of tuscany sound.

    1:20 - Petrucci adjusts the knobs that control planetary orbits, just in time to avoid a rampaging exoplanet from another stellar system crashing into Earth, giving Earthlings a chance to listen to his album first.
