Guesting on The Everyman Podcast last month, guitarist John Petrucci talked about the possibility of releasing a second solo album:

"It's something that I'm almost embarrassed about. My first was released in 2005, and I do, as people may know from watching the G3 tours, I have plenty of material for that. So the next time I can sit down and get into a studio - when I'm not doing a DT record or touring with DT - I will record music for a solo project. I guess a follow-up if you want to call it."

Dream Theater have uploaded a new official animation video for "Paralyzed", a track from their recently released 14th studio album, Distance Over Time (InsideOut Music). Watch below.
