May 24, 2011, 13 years ago
According to Roadrunnerrecords.com, progressive metal titans DREAM THEATER are finishing up their highly anticipated new album, the first with newcomer drummer Mike Mangini (ex-EXTREME, STEVE VAI, ANNIHILATOR). The as of yet untitled album is to be mixed by Andy Wallace (SLAYER, SEPULTURA) and is scheduled to be release later this year. The band is extremely excited to be working with Andy and are psyched about the new album.
The band will kick off a world tour in July 2011. Mangini, for one, cannot wait to get on the road and show the Dream Theater fan base why he was the chosen one.
“I am just busting at the seams on being the new drummer for Dream Theater,” he said. “Digesting the incredibly challenging catalog, exploding with creative ideas, and anticipating what James, John, John and Jordan will come up with collectively and individually for new music and a fresh stage show is going to be really exciting and fun for me. I consider this opportunity the absolute pinnacle of my career. I can’t even imagine what untapped and future musical genius is inside of these guys; I can’t wait until we get into the studio together. Playing with these guys…it’s the mountaintop. This is where I want to be.”
