Dream Theater Enters Studio to Begin Writing Fourteenth Studio Album and Announce an Upcoming Facebook Live Q&A

In late 2017, Dream Theater signed with Sony Music’s progressive imprint InsideOutMusic. Now, in preparation for the band’s fourteenth studio album and their first album ever produced in collaboration with this leading worldwide label, they are pleased to announce that they have entered the studio to begin the writing process. Recently, John Petrucci and James LaBrie shared a quick video update from the writing sessions on the band’s official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/dreamtheater

James comments: “We’ve been here for one week and it is going sensational. Everybody is in the one room…and I gotta tell you, if the first week is any indication of where this album is going, you’re in for a treat.”

John adds: “There’s a lot of ideas flowing, and it’s already been really productive after only a week in. So far the music is heavy, progressive, melodic, shredding and it’s epic.”

The band will hold a live Facebook Q&A with fans during their time in the studio on June 28th at 3PM Eastern Time / 8pm UK time. Make sure to tune in!

For a first impression of the studio, watch John’s tour here:

Wings of Destiny Keyboardist Alejandro Amador Steps Down

According to a post on social media Wings of Destiny Keyboardist Alejandro Amador leaves the band. the Costa Rician Prog Metal band Wings of Destiny were just awarded Best Metal Album of the year for there release “Kings of Terror” at the 2018 Acam music awards in Costa Rica.
– Full Story

After 5 years of power metal, I have decided to give a high on the way. Sometimes there comes a time when you have to pause to look back and close cycles. For me, today ends the power metal cycle and more specifically, my cycle with wings of destiny.

I am getting a lot of success with the band, with the experience of three albums and unforgettable international goats both in Costa Rica and in other countries. I leave a lot of friends in wings of destiny to whom I wish them the best; I do not doubt they will continue to reap more triumphs and put Costa Rican metal in high.

To all the fans of the band, thank you very much for the support you have given us and will continue to give. Wings of Destiny: stay metal!!!

– Alexander

Después de 5 años de Power Metal he decidido dar un alto en el camino. A veces llega un momento en el que hay que dar una pausa para mirar atrás y de cerrar ciclos. Para mí, hoy termina el ciclo del power metal y más concretamente, mi ciclo con Wings of Destiny.

Me voy cosechando muchos éxitos con la banda, con la experiencia de tres discos y de inolvidables chivos internacionales tanto en Costa Rica como en otros países. Me voy dejando muchos amigos en Wings of Destiny a quienes les deseo lo mejor; no dudo que seguirán cosechando más triunfos y poniendo el metal costarricense en alto.

A todos los fans de la banda, muchas gracias por el apoyo que nos han dado y nos seguirán dando. A Wings of Destiny: STAY METAL!!!

– Alejandro

DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT – launch video for “Regulator” – Live in Plovdiv

On September 22nd, 2017, Devin Townsend Project played a special show at the Ancient Roman Theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the landmark Ocean Machine album in full, as well as a set of fan-requested tracks alongside the Orchestra of Plovdiv State Opera. This concert was filmed, and on July 6th, 2018 it will see the light of day as ‘Ocean Machine – Live at the Ancient Roman Theatre Plovdiv’.

Devin comments: “Hello again folks, dev here again…head above water for a minute from the massive writing period I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to do. Today, im proud that we can release another track from the upcoming ‘Live at the Ancient Theatre’ Performance. This one comes in the form of ‘Regulator’ from the Ocean Machine portion of the set. This DVD is a really important part of my work to date, as it not only summarizes a large portion of my musical output, but also swings right back around to the first true solo album, Ocean Machine, with the original bassist, John Harder, joining me onstage.

When all is said and done, this DVD acts as a powerful swan song for this portion of my career, and I am excited for people to actually get the whole thing into their worlds.

As always, thank you for the ability to do what I do, and I hope you enjoy it 🙂

Devin”
