Terminal Velocity is the second studio album by Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci, released digitally on August 28, 2020[5][2] and on October 30, 2020 for the physical version (vinyl and CD).[5] This is his first solo album since 2005's Suspended Animation.[3] During the recording sessions, Petrucci was reunited with his former Dream Theater bandmate Mike Portnoy, making it their first collaboration since the latter left the band in 2010.[3][6][4] Bassist Dave LaRue, who performed on Suspended Animation, returns for this album.[3]
Petrucci planned to start working on the album in the second trimester of the year, but he ended up using the unexpected free time resulting from the New York COVID-19 lockdowns to write the songs.[3] The whole writing and recording process took two months starting in March.[7]
Some of the tracks ("Happy Song", "Glassy-Eyed Zombies") are new versions of songs Petrucci used to play live with G3, while "Gemini" has been used by the guitarist on soundchecks, guitar clinics and as a warm-up exercise for his Rock Discipline DVD.[8]
