James LaBrie Producer Hails Next Album
Verfasst: 03.01.2013, 20:33
James LaBrie’s producer says the Dream Theater singer’s next album is going to be great – and he’s “super-stoked” to be working on it.
Peter Wichers, who until recently was guitarist with Swedish metal band Soilwork, is behind the desk as LaBrie works on the follow-up to 2010 record Static Impulse.
Wichers says: “I am honoured to be a part of a project with amazing musicians and and people such as James LaBrie, Matt Guillory, Ray Riendeau, Peter Wildoer and Marco Sfogli. All I can say is that this album will be great.”
It’s due out later this year – and so is Dream Theater’s twelfth studio album, which the band will start putting together this month.
Guitarist John Petrucci recently told Metal Insider: “Everybody is hired, the studio is booked, and the vision for the type of album has been talked about and secured.
“Before we go into an album, I like to sit down and think about what we’re going to do instead of just going in and winging it. I’ll usually come up with some sort of proposal, and we’ll talk about it a bunch of times over the course of the month, and get everyone on the same page.”
The record will be Dream Theater’s second with drummer Mike Mangini after the shock departure of ex-mainman Mike Portnoy in 2010. Mangini appeared on A Dramatic Turn Of Events but didn’t contribute as a writer.
Petrucci says: “We wrote it without him and he came in and tracked. This time, he’s going to be in from day one, so we’ll write together as a full group. The tapes that we have from doing that a bit on the road have been incredible – he was really quick and had great creative concepts. I think it’s going to be a very cool experience.”
