DJ Marco Garavelli of Italy's Linearock and Radio
Lombardia recently conducted an interview with guitarist John Petrucci
of progressive metal giants DREAM THEATER. You can now listen to the
chat using the audio player below.
DREAM THEATER's
new, self-titled album sold around 34,000 copies in the United States in its
first week of release to debut at position No. 7 on The Billboard 200 chart.
The CD arrived in stores on September 24 via Roadrunner.
DREAM THEATER's
previous CD, "A Dramatic Turn Of Events", opened with 36,000
units to land at No. 8. The band's 2009 effort, "Black Clouds &
Silver Linings", premiered with 40,000 copies to enter the chart at
No. 6. This was roughly in line with the first-week tally registered by its
predecessor, "Systematic Chaos", which shifted 36,000 copies
in 2007 to debut at No. 19. 2005's "Octavarium" premiered with
27,000 copies to land at No. 36.
The nine-track "Dream Theater" disc was recorded
at Cove City Studio in Glen Cove, Long Island, with Petrucci producing
and Richard Chycki engineering and mixing. It's the band's second album
with drummer Mike Mangini, and the first one on which he was a part of
the writing process from Day One.
