Roadrunner Records has announced the eagerly anticipated new album from
the legendary Dream Theater. “DREAM THEATER” – the first self-titled
collection in the GRAMMY®-nominated band’s nearly three decade career –
arrives at last on September 24th.
“DREAM THEATER” was recorded
at Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, New York, with founding
guitarist John Petrucci producing and studio luminary Richard Chycki
(Aerosmith, Rush) engineering and mixing. The album marks a brilliant
new chapter for the always adventurous band, their first to have been
written and recorded with drummer Mike Mangini wholly integrated into
the creative process from the start.
“I see every new album as an opportunity to start over,” says Petrucci. “To either build or improve upon a direction that has been evolving over time or to completely break new ground. This is the first self-titled album of our career and there is nothing I can think of that makes a statement of musical and creative identity stronger than that. We’ve fully explored all of the elements that make us unique, from the epic and intense to the atmospheric and cinematic. We’re incredibly excited about ‘DREAM THEATER’ and can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
“DREAM THEATER” will be available in a wide range of distinctive versions, including standard and special edition CDs, 180 Gram Vinyl Double LP, and a Limited Edition Box Set. Pre-orders are scheduled to get underway sometime in July at the Roadrunner Records Webstore.

“DREAM
THEATER” follows 2011’s acclaimed “A DRAMATIC TURN OF EVENTS.” That
album – highlighted by “On The Backs Of Angels,” which earned the iconic
band its first ever GRAMMY® Award nomination (in the “Best Hard
Rock/Metal Performance” category) – proved one of Dream Theater’s most
successful, making top 10 chart debuts in 14 countries, including our
own Billboard 200. “A DRAMATIC TURN OF EVENTS” was hailed for its
ambition, complexity, and sheer melodic power, with Japan’s influential
BURRN! naming it as the year’s “Best Album.”
