Dream Theater have unveiled details of their 15th studio album.
The prog-metal giants will release 'A View From The Top Of The World' via InsideOutMusic/Sony Music on October 22, two years after 2019's 'Distance Over Time'.
Produced by founding member and guitarist John Petrucci, engineered by James "Jimmy T" Meslin, and mixed by Andy Sneap, the seven-song record includes the 20-minute closing title track. Petrucci said:
"We just love to play our instruments. That never goes away. I love to be creative, write, and exercise that part of my mind. We've been able to do this for a long time, and we don’t take it for granted. Whenever we get together, we know we can’t disappoint ourselves or our fans, so we manage to try even harder."
