John Petrucciand James LaBrie of Dream Theater had a chat to Billboard and revealed that a new album is already on the horizon!
“Some initial conversations have already started,” the guitarist-producer-lyricist tells Billboard. “There are some song ideas and little things like that – nothing really official, but the seeds just start to get planted. One of the great things about this career is that you have the opportunity every time to go in and start again with a blank slate and think, ‘What can we do differently? How can we make this better?’ Where can we go from here?’ Every album has a story, and to constantly have a fresh opportunity to do it is really satisfying.”
“In the past we’ve been out touring before the actual album comes out,” LaBrie notes, “so maybe we’ll sneak one or two songs from it into the set. Over the last three to five years we’ve talked about how it would be great if we could start to make our cycle unfold so the albums are out at least a few months before we go hit the stage. That lets people digest the music so that when we want to play the new songs, they’re actually familiar with it.”
Can’t wait to see what these guys are going to come up with for what will be their 13th studio album!
