Progressive metal is not the most popular style among music fans however Dream Theater could sell more than 8 million of their various albums. The band is well known for the technical proficiency of its instrumentalists, who have won many awards from music instruction magazines. This wouldn't be enough on its own for the success they achieved but combined with the unique sound and harmonies they use Dream Theater became an outstanding band. Dream Theater is gaining more and more popularity in Hungary. Their show had to be moved to Budapest Sportaréna which is the venue for the biggest artists that visit Hungary. Since the band grew out every other place where they played before here this decision had to be done. Finally their performance can be experienced on a stage which a band like this deserves. The show will be on 1st July and hopefully we'll hear some material from the yet unreleased 10th Dream Theater album.
Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Myung, John Petrucci and Mike Portnoey while they attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, before they dropped out to support the band. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remain today along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess Dream Theater has become a successful progressive metal band, despite the drop in popularity of the genre since the mid-1970s. Although the band has had a few successful hits (notably "Pull Me Under" in the early 1990s, which received extensive MTV rotation), they have mostly stayed underground for their career. Dream Theater's members have collaborated with many other notable musicians. Guitarist John Petrucci has been named as the third player on the G3 tour six times, more than any other invited guitarist, following in the footsteps of Eric Johnson and Robert Fripp. The band's highest selling album is the gold selling Images and Words(1992), which reached #61 on the Billboard 200 charts. Both the 1994 release Awake and their 2002 release Six Degrees of Inner Turbulance also entered the charts at #32 and #46 respectively and received mostly positive reviews. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence also led to Dream Theater becoming the initial band reviewed in the Music Section of Entertainment Weekly during its opening week of release, despite the magazine generally preferring more mainstream music. In 2007, Systematic Chaos entered US Billboard 200 at #19. Dream Theater has sold over two million albums in the U.S., and over 8 million records worldwide.] The band has finished recording their 10th studio album, and is in the process of being mixed. It is slated for release in June.
