DREAM THEATER Starts North American Tour, Releases Video

Legendary progressive metal act Dream Theater is launching a North American summer headlining tour, kicking off July 24 in San Diego, CA. Joined by breakthrough progressive metal acts Into Eternity and Redemption, the tour will span throughout the U.S. and Canada. Dream Theater will be taking the headlining reigns, performing songs from their Roadrunner Records debut, Systematic Chaos, as well as compositions from their genre defining back catalogue. Their ninth studio album, Systematic Chaos was released on June 5th and has been received with solid critical and fan acclaim. The tour will further solidify the band’s legendary technical prowess, capturing a time when the quartet have reached their artistic Zen, hailed by Billboard Magazine as “the genre’s [Prog] poster child.”

Dream Theater has just released a music video for their first single, “Constant Motion.” Directed by Andrew Bennett (Deftones, Van Halen, The Dresden Dolls), the video highlights a technically induced performance by the band coupled with an animated spin-off of the album cover art, created by Hugh Syme (Rush, Iron Maiden, Megadeth). The video is currently available for viewing on the Roadrunner Records website (www.roadrunnerrecords.com).
