Dream Theater unveil 11-disc set

Dream Theater have confirmed details of an 11-disc box set which will hit shelves in June.

Entitled The Studio Albums 1992-2011, it contains their releases from Images And Worlds up to A Dramatic Turn Of Events – their first with Mike Mangini after the departure of founding drummer Mike Portnoy.

It’s to be launched via Roadrunner Records on June 30 and it’s available for pre-order now.

Dream Theater will kick off a European tour at Sheffield City Hall on July 5, followed by an appearance at this year’s Sonisphere festival at Knebworth the following day.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
