Boston, Massachusetts, United States (1985 – present)

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name “Majesty” by John Myung, John Petrucci, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, which they all dropped out of to support the band. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remain today along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess.

Dream Theater has become one of the most successful progressive metal bands since the height of the genre in the mid-1970s. Although the band has had a few successful hits (notably

Pull Me Under in the early 1990s, which received extensive MTV rotation), they have mostly stayed underground for their career, feeding off support from their fans.

Dream Theater’s (commonly abbreviated ‘DT’) two highest selling albums are the gold selling Images and Words (1992), although it reached only #61 on the Billboard 200 charts, and Awake (1994) which reached #32 on the Billboard 200. Recently Systematic Chaos entered US Billboard 200 at #19. Dream Theater has sold over two million albums in the U.S., and over 8 million albums and DVDs worldwide.

In January of 2005, the band obtained their first United States platinum disc (representing 100 000 DVDs sold) with Live At Budokan, recorded April 2004 in Tokyo, Japan.

I think June 2009 would be a likely date if they follow any previous patterns. That way they can jump right on tour throughout the summer to promote the album. At least thats what they did with Systematic Chaos and Octavarium.

less solos???? 8I That's Dream Theater, not Linkin Park! .................... I hope the new album sounds more or less similar to Six Degrees (it won't be another I&W for sure).

They're fast o_O I wonder what will the new album be like... it's the 10th one, so maybe something special. Concept album? :P (and again I hope they'll record something new and show the tr00-DT-ended-with-I&W-because-I-said-so idiots they don't care about them :) )
