American prog-metallers Dream Theater have announced three UK dates in support of their forthcoming self-titled album.
These new dates are the first of Dream Theater's European leg of a world tour supporting their new record, set for release on September 24. The upcoming tour will encompass 30 cities in 16 countries.
Dream Theater - John Petrucci on guitar, John Myung on bass, James LaBrie on vocals, Jordan Rudess on keyboards and continuum, and Mike Mangini on drums - recorded their new self-titled album at Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, New York, with Petrucci producing and studio luminary Richard Chycki (Aerosmith, Rush) engineering and mixing. The album is their first to have been written and recorded with drummer Mike Mangini (who joined the band in 2010) wholly integrated into the creative process from the start.
“I see every new album as an opportunity to start over,” Petrucci said. “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.”
