2024 was a huge, banging year for Dream Theater fans worldwide and it was announced that former founding member\/drummer Mike Portnoy would be returning to the band after a 13 year absence.\u00a0 The members of Dream Theater seem to sincerely be excited, hopeful, and dare I say optimistic about this family reunion of sorts:<\/p>\n

In an interview with Rolling Stone<\/a> magazine, the five members of DREAM THEATER<\/b> discussed their decision to reunite with Mike Portnoy<\/b> last October, 13 years after he left the drummer first left the progressive metal titans. Asked why they wanted Portnoy<\/b> to return, singer James LaBrie<\/b> said: “I think we had to return the band back to its strongest form.” Guitarist John Petrucci<\/b> added: “It wasn’t one singular thing; it was sort of a series of life events that caused an organic conclusion. We all talked about it. It was like, ‘Yeah, this makes sense right now.'” Keyboardist Jordan Rudess<\/b> chimed in: “There’s so many factors involved, and each of us has our particular relationships. And it was just a moment when everything seemed to come together, and we went, ‘You know what? Let’s do this. Now’s the time.'” Bassist John Myung<\/b> concurred, saying: “It was a collective moment of certainty.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year Dream Theater wrapped up work on new album but as of this post there has been no release date mentioned.<\/p>\n
