Dream Theater announce new album ‘Distance Over Time’

DREAM THEATER have announced a brand new album!

The album, titled Distance Over Time, is the band’s 14th studio album and is scheduled for release in February next year.

Speaking about the new album, guitarist John Petrucci says, “when I listen back to the album, I can distinctly recall every moment of the writing process; where I was standing in the room, what inspired us in that instant and the meaning behind each song. As a producer, my goal was to try and create the best-sounding DREAM THEATER record we’ve ever made so that listeners can just be enveloped in the music. I really wanted this recording to truly reflect the spirit, joy, and passion that went into making the album and for people to walk away feeling some of the organic nature, personality, and raw energy that the band captured while together in the studio. For me, I think it accomplishes that and I hope that other people will feel the same way,” 

The upcoming album was produced by John Petrucci, mixed by Ben Grosse and mastered by Tom Baker. The band lived together during the writing and recording process of the record in June 2018, with vocalist James LaBrie commenting, “it was like going back to summer camp. Being around each other the whole time made it that much more of a profound experience. I think the songs reflect the energy. It was a lot of fun to have a situation so powerful at this point in our career.”

Distance Over Time is set for release on February 22nd via InsideOutMusic/Sony Music.
