DREAM THEATER: New Album 'Distance Over Time' To Arrive In February

03 November 2018

Progressive metal icons DREAM THEATER have set 'Distance Over Time' as the title of their fourteenth studio album, due out in February 2019.

The album's cover art and a brief teaser snippet can be seen and heard below.

'Distance Over Time' - described in a press release as a "return to the band's roots" — was recorded over the summer. Earlier this year, vocalist James LaBrie stated about the new material, "There's a heaviness to it, there's an aggression to it," while guitarist John Petrucci added, "So far the music is heavy, it's progressive, it's melodic, it's shredding, and it's also epic. So it has all those elements, which… they are the five pillars of DREAM THEATER, if you wanna call it that."

'Distance Over Time' will mark DREAM THEATER's first album for Sony Music's progressive imprint InsideOut Music. The group spent the past 25 years recording under various labels in the Warner Music Group system, most recently Roadrunner Records, which released five albums by the band between 2007 and 2016.
