 After years of parallel success in the metal world, Dream Theater and
Roadrunner Records have joined forces on a new deal. The prog-leaning
group's label debut, "Systematic Chaos," will crown the deal in June.
Dream Theater had spent its entire career on Elektra
and Atlantic, an arrangement that ended with the 2005 studio album
"Octavarium." The group has sold 2.1 million CDs in the United States
since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991.
"This album's got all of the elements we've become known for," reveals
drummer Mike Portnoy, who co-produced the album with guitarist John
Petrucci. The disc sports seven new songs, one of which runs 25 minutes.
Although details have yet to be nailed down, Dream Theater will tour
this summer in support of "Systematic Chaos," including European
festival appearances.
