Modern progressive rock band DILEMMA presents its third full-length album, ‘The Purpose Paradox’. This concept album, spanning over 60 minutes, will be released September 20th on CD, double LP and via all streaming platforms, and distributed internationally by Butler Records, a division of V2 Records. It features 9 brand-new tracks ranging in length from 4 to nearly 16 minutes.
Now, the band is pleased to share the video for the second single from the album.
Watch the video for “Thunder” here:
The band had this to say about the track:
“‘Thunder’ is the second single from our new concept album ‘The Purpose Paradox’. The album’s narrative centers on a man named Neon, who represents the everyman of our contemporary world. In his search for connection and fulfillment, Neon finds guidance from an unconventional mentor named Electra. She helps him realize that often, the things we look for are the ones that find us first.
“In ‘Thunder’ we discover another side of Neon: he is a musician longing to return to the audience with whom he has built a strong connection. Unfortunately, circumstances in the world are unfavorable, making it unclear when he can stand in the spotlight again. This track evolves from an emotional piano driven ballad to the perfect rock song for a late drive home”
‘The Purpose Paradox’ showcases a broader side of DILEMMA—louder, faster, more technical, more progressive. With new frontman Jermain van derBogt(Wudstik), the vocals have become rawer and more varied. Almost six years after the previous record ‘Random Acts of Liberation’ the band sounds reborn. Like its predecessor, ‘The Purpose Paradox’ was produced by drummer CollinLeijenaar,who, together with the famed music wizard Rich Mouser (The Mouse House, LA), was also responsible for the mix and mastering. Thanks to their unmatched ears, the result is an audio experience that DILEMMA has worked on with great pride over the past years
