DREAM THEATER Release Official Lyric Video For “The Enemy Inside”

Tuesday, 6th August 2013

Progressive metal kings DREAM THEATER have released the official lyric video for a brand new song “The Enemy Inside”, which comes off their self-titled upcoming album and may be viewed below. Set for a September 24th release via Roadrunner Records, the album will be the second to feature new drummer Mike Mangini, who replaced Mike Portnoy in 2011. The nine-track disc was recorded at Cove City Studio in Glen Cove, Long Island, with Petrucci producing and Richard Chycki engineering and mixing.

Says guitarist John Petrucci about Dream Theater: “I see every new album as an opportunity to start over. To either build or improve upon a direction that has been evolving over time or to completely break new ground.

“This is the first self-titled album of our career and there is nothing I can think of that makes a statement of musical and creative identity stronger than that. We’ve fully explored all of the elements that make us unique, from the epic and intense to the atmospheric and cinematic.

“We’re incredibly excited about Dream Theater and can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

In January, Petrucci said of Mangini’s work: “When people hear the drumming on this album, they’re gonna be pretty freaked out. On the last album, he did a great job, but he wasn’t there for the writing process and he was interpreting drum parts that I had programmed. Even though he used his creativity, of course, to change them up and do his thing, I feel like now he’s just Mike Mangini unleashed. It’s all him. It’s all his creativity, all his decisions and ideas and man, the guy’s an animal.”
