CD/DVD Releases: Dream Theater Reveal Title, Tracklisting For Upcoming CD
Progressive metal giants Dream Theater have set A Dramatic Turn Of Events as the title of their new album, tentatively due in early September via Roadrunner Records. [Why whatever do they mean by that title? -ed.] The CD is currently being mixed by Andy Wallace, who has previously worked with Avenged Sevenfold, White Zombie, Rage Against The Machine, Sepultura, Slayer and Nirvana, among many others.
"I'm incredibly psyched with the way this album came out and can't wait to share it with everybody," guitarist John Petrucci, who also serves as the producer for A Dramatic Turn Of Events, said. "We are currently in the mix stage with the great Andy Wallace and it's all sounding amazing!"
"We have poured our hearts and minds into the creation of this album," keyboardist Jordan Rudess offered. "All the life changing events that surrounded us before, as well as during the whole process, fueled our desire to dig deep within ourselves and create the best music we possibly could."
Vocalist James LaBrie said, "In the grand scheme of Dream Theater's career, the last several months have been such an incredibly positive, fulfilling and rewarding experience. The new songs and sound has never been so spirited or rejuvenating. I cannot wait for every one of our fans to sink their audio senses into this batch of tunes."
