FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, NY:

Progressive metal veterans DREAM THEATER have announced BLACK CLOUDS & SILVER LININGS as the title of their tenth studio album. The band commenced work on the album – their second for Roadrunner Records, following up 2007's Systematic Chaos — in October of last year.

Roadrunner will release the record on June 23. In addition to the standard version CD, the album will also be available on vinyl LP, as well as a 3-disc Special Edition CD that will include the full album, a CD of instrumental mixes of the album and a CD of six cover songs, the titles of which will be revealed at a later date.

Six weeks prior to the June 23 street date, Roadrunner will release one cover song per week through digital retailers.

Drummer Mike Portnoy and guitarist John Petrucci are once again at the helm as producers, while Paul Northfield mixed the record.

The band will embark on a world tour in support of the album beginning in Europe throughout June which will be followed by the second edition of the band’s PROGRESSIVE NATION tour featuring Zappa Plays Zappa, Pain Of Salvation and Beardfish throughout North America in July/August.

A video for the first single, "A Rite of Passage" will be shot in late March.

The track listing for BLACK CLOUDS & SILVER LININGS is as follows:

1. A Nightmare to Remember
2. A Rite of Passage
3. Wither
4. The Shattered Fortress
5. The Best of Times
6. The Count of Tuscany

i'm gonna post this here since it's a project of 3 DT members:

LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT - Live Box Set Pre-Order Now!

Originally, my intention was to record several shows and combine them
to make one compilation CD/DVD release....but in reviewing the tapes,
it became very obvious that the NYC and LA footage each offered very
different perspectives of the shows we did...each with their own
distinct personalities and both having their own charms (and flaws....)
The NYC show was very much a loud, sweaty, small club
show (with alot of energy from the crowd) and the LA show was very much
a more polished, breathing, theater experience (which offered a more
relaxed "presentation").
So in the end, I decided to simply offer both shows in their entirety...
It's not often people will get to experience LTE Live, so why not offer
you guys the chance to see and hear us in both settings....?
And even though the setlists are the same, you can hear some very subtle
(and also some very obvious) differences from one performance to the
next...
