Dream Weapon is the third studio album by American experimental metal band Genghis Tron, released on March 26, 2021. The album is the band's first studio album since 2008's Board Up the House and the first with vocalist Tony Wolski and drummer Nick Yacyshyn, marking the first time the band has ever used a drummer.
Keyboardist Michael Sochynsky described the album's sound as having a "more meditative, hypnotic, and maybe psychedelic" direction. He also added that the album would have no blast beats or "Nintendocore" parts. Metal Injection wrote that Yacyshyn adds a shimmering shoegaze style to the band by emphasizing the many cymbals of his drum kit.
It was elected by PopMatters as the 2nd best progressive metal album of 2021.
