Dream Theater‘s new song “On The Backs Of Angels” is now available for streaming on Roadrunner Records’ YouTube Channel.
“On The Back Of Angels” is a song off Dream Theater’s new record “A Dramatic Turn Of Events” which features Mike Mangini on drums.
It’s official, Dream Theater announces Mike as their new drummer, replacing their old drummer Mike. That’s Mike Mangini who replaces Mike Portnoy.
The audition process was documented with title “The Spirit Carries On” and can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/roadrunnerrecords.
For those in Germany can view the videos here:
For sure the rest of the band would have no problem calling their new drummer the wrong name. It has always been Mike. Eddie Trunks knew this for a while.

Dream Theater announced that Mike Portnoy had parted ways with the band. After 25 years Portnoy decided to take an indefinite hiatus from Dream Theater while the rest of the band are carrying on.
Mike Portnoy has a unique style to drumming that is also a signature sound to Dream Theater. Fans can only wonder what directions Dream Theater will go without Portnoy.
Black Clouds & Silver Linings has now become the last Dream Theater album with Mike Portnoy on Drums. Well, until he rejoins the band sometimes in the future, as fans hope.
