DREAM THEATER: 'Octavarium' Teaser Video Posted Online
April 20, 2005DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy has posted a 1 1/2 –minute "teaser" drum-camera video for the group's upcoming "Octavarium" CD at his official web site. Check it out at this location [NOTE: Link removed the request of the MikePortnoy.com webmaster].
"Octavarium" (view cover here) is scheduled for release on June 7 via Atlantic Records.
DREAM THEATER began writing and recording their latest album last November at the Hit Factory studios in New York City. The follow-up to 2003's "Train of Thought" will hold the distinction of being the very last album ever recorded at the world-famous recording facility.
Asked how "Octavarium" differs from its predecessor, DREAM THEATER guitarist John Petrucci recently told Billboard.com, "The album before this we wrote in the rehearsal period, constructed all the songs and then went into the studio and recorded them. The style from song to song was pretty consistent; that album was pretty dark and heavy and very riffy, sort of metal [or] progressive metal-sounding. This one we wrote in the studio, and I think that stylistically from song to song it's more diverse."
