In the beginning of March 2020 while the COVID-19 global pandemic was unrelentingly reeking its havoc on the world and especially NY, Petrucci started working on the music that would make up “Terminal Velocity”.

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.

“Terminal Velocity” marks the first solo album by John Petrucci to be released in 15 years.
