September 23, 2011

A short video clip featuring behind-the-scens footage from the writing and recording process for "A Dramatic Turn Of Events", the new studio album from progressive metal giants DREAM THEATER, can be seen below.

"A Dramatic Turn Of Events" sold 36,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 8. The band's previous CD, 2009's "Black Clouds & Silver Linings", opened with 40,000 units to land at No. 6. This was roughly in line with the first-week tally registered by its predecessor, "Systematic Chaos", which shifted 36,000 copies in 2007 to enter the chart at No. 19. 2005's "Octavarium" premiered with 27,000 copies to debut at No. 36.
