MSO Welcomes DREAM THEATER
June 29, 2009, 15 years ago
Publicity firm MSO has issued the following:
MSO has proudly teamed with DREAM THEATER who just released their 10th album Black Clouds & Silver Linings, June 23rd via Roadrunner Records. The progressive metal veterans will also headline the second incarnation of their Progressive Nation tour from July 24th -
August 29th throughout North America.
“This album’s a musical and emotional rollercoaster, but most of our albums are,” says Mike Portnoy (drums, percussion, vocals). The album’s title reflects the personally charged lyrical themes that give the album an introspective depth that balances the music's widescreen scope.Says John Petrucci (guitar, vocals): “I think that a lot of this record is telling stories about things that we’ve lived through. Sometimes it's fun to write fantasy-based things, but it’s definitely more satisfying when you can use real-life situations to tell a story.”
Black Clouds & Silver Linings marks the band’s second album for Roadrunner and follows 2007’s acclaimed Systematic Chaos, their highest charting album to date.
Black Clouds & Silver Linings is another milestone on Dream Theater's iconoclastic musical journey - one which began two and a half decades ago and now encompasses a hugely impressive body of music that's established them as a one-of-a-kind creative force with a fiercely devoted international fan base.
Dream Theater is now on a 15-country world tour throughout June that will lead into their Progressive Nation 2009 trek; they’ll be
joined by ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA, BIGELF and SCALE THE SUMMIT.
