Systematic Chaos (2007) |
|
Systematic Chaos is the upcoming ninth studio release of the progressive metal band Dream Theater. It is Dream Theater's first album with Roadrunner Records.
Systematic Chaos was written and recorded from September 2006 to January 2007 at Avatar Studios in New York City, co-produced by drummer Mike Portnoy and guitarist John Petrucci and engineered by Paul Northfield. The final mix was signed off on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2007.[1] The final master of the CD was finished and the track listing was released[2] on February 21, 2007. It is scheduled for release in June, 2007.
Fifty Dream Theater fans from the New York area were given the opportunity to perform on the new album in January 2007 through Portnoy's Internet forum, and have provided chants for at least one of the songs.
In an interview with Tama.com, drummer Mike Portnoy described the album as "Heavy and technical, powerful and dynamic — all of the elements that people kind of expect out of a Dream Theater album. All of the styles and sounds are intact, but we wanted to make it a real sonic explosion. It's very dramatic and aggressive."
Contrary to some earlier reports, there are eight tracks (as "In the Presence of Enemies" is in two parts).
