Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory

Dream Theater

A seventy-minute cinematic metal odyssey. Virtuosic, dense, and narratively complex, it follows a murder mystery through past-life regression and symphonic grandeur.

October 25, 1999 · Elektra

A high-stakes cinematic mystery that balances technical aggression with profound existential longing.
