What's a news update without a Dream Theater item, eh? There've plenty of 'em out there, of course, as the various members make the press rounds, being quoted about this and that (this = new album, that = Portnoy's depature). So herewith we include this news updates Dream Theater item, via Blabbermouth.net:

Progressive metal giants Dream Theater will embark on a U.S. headlining tour in September with support from their Roadrunner Records labelmates Trivium. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.

[Can't wait too long, September's just 'round the corner - ed.]

"On The Backs Of Angels," a brand new song from Dream Theater, is available for streaming at the Roadrunner Records YouTube channel. The track comes off the band's new album, A Dramatic Turn Of Events, which is scheduled for release on September 13 via Roadrunner Records. The CD was mixed by Andy Wallace, who has previously worked with Avenged Sevenfold, White Zombie, Rage Against The Machine, Sepultura, Slayer and Nirvana, among many others.

Trivium's new album, In Waves, will be released on August 9 via Roadrunner Records. The follow-up to 2008's Shogun was recorded primarily at Paint It Black Studios in Orlando, Florida (with only the drums having been tracked at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida) with the production/mixing team of Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Bullet For My Valentine, Slipknot, Fear Factory) and Martin "Ginge" Ford, along with engineer Carl Bown.
