Dream Theater debuted the first new song from their upcoming September 24 release (The Enemy Inside) today on USAToday Online.

Song premiere: Dream Theater's 'The Enemy Inside'

I'm liking what I'm hearing, here. Pettrucci's guitar tone has been tweaked a slight bit to give it a grumblier sound, and as always, his technique is killer. Mike Mangini's drum work is superb (and better, really, than Portnoy's ever was with this band's other talent). And as usual, Jordan Rudess' keyboard work is beyond compare. With John Myung carrying the bottom end of the tune, this is prog-metal at its best, really...and the only complaint I have about this new DT track is the same as the complaint I have on every other DT track that includes James LaBrie's vocals: it has James LaBrie's vocals. Other than that, it freakin' kicks ass. Maybe they'll release this album with a special edition naked tracks disk that only has instrumentals on it as they did for Black Clouds And Silver Linings?

SLAYER TO HEADLINE NEW YORK's THEATER AT MSG and THE HOLLYWOOD PALLADIUM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 25 YEARS

LOS ANGELES, CA - MONDAY, August 5, 2013 -- Slayer will headline concerts at two venues it hasn't played in 25 years - the Hollywood Palladium on Monday, October 28, and New York's Theater at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, November 27, the night before Thanksgiving. Gojira and 4ARM will support. Registered Slayer Fan Club members will be receiving a special email offering them "first-access" to purchase tickets through a special pre-sale that begins tomorrow. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, August 9 at 10AM local time. Log onto Our Brother Jeff Hanneman, May He Rest In Peace (1964 - 2013) | The Official Slayer Site for more ticketing info. This will be the first time that Slayer - Tom Araya/bass, vocals, guitarist Kerry King, drummer Paul Bostaph, and guitarist Gary Holt, who continues to fill in for the late founding member Jeff Hanneman - will play a concert in New York since The Big Four concert at Yankee Stadium on September 14, 2011, and the band's first Hollywood show since 2010's Jagermeister Music Tour. Over the past eighteen months, Slayer has toured throughout Europe, India, Japan, South America, and Australia, and co-headlined the 2012 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Tour of North America. Slayer has also been confirmed to play the Fun Fun Fun Fest 2013 to be held at the Auditorium Shores in Austin, TX November 8-10. While recovering from the devastating loss of Hanneman, Araya and King have begun to work on new material and hope to spend some time in the studio prior to these dates.

I can't believe it's been about 10 years since I saw Dream Theater with Queensryche at universal ampitheater.

This song is pretty frenetic (aren't they all), but I'm enjoying it.
 
It's got the fast and energetic part of the definition, for sure.
 
Speaking of Dream Theater, iPic is showing DREAM THEATER - LIVE AT LUNA PARK on Thursday Sept 19 if you can't wait to see them live.
 
Hello fellow LGK Hard and Heavy Enthusiasts. My band just recently finished our EP and i wanted to share it here. I think it will appeal to those who like early Anathema, My Dying Bride, and current bands like Warning, 40 Watt Sun, Sleep, Boris, Earth, etc.

Pendulous

we are offering free streaming/high quality downloads. Hope some of you enjoy it.
