Dream Theater - On The Backs of Angels


Recently released "A Dramatic Turn of Events", the new album they do progressive metal titans Dream Theater. After the departure of founding member and drummer Mike Portnoy in September 2010 gave the band auditions in an attempt to find their new drummer. Mike Mangini was the one who drew the longest drum stick. Mangini has been involved bands Annihilator, Extreme and James Labrie in the past. The new album was released on September 13, 2011, in addition will they do a world tour and will visit Sweden and Hovet, 25 January 2012.




"On the Backs of Angels" is the opening track on the new album, "A Dramatic Turn of Events", is also the first single release. In less than nine minutes long, is it more of a traditional song lengths of tunes with Dream Theater. The new single has many similarities to earlier albums, both heavy, technically impressive, in other words a well-written song. The new drummer Mike Mangini has a complete command of the drums and it's hardly that I miss Portnoy. Should be very interesting to see Mangini's interpretations of Dream Theater wide backcatalog during this upcoming world tour.
