Prog masters Dream Theater have re-signed with Roadrunner Records. That is great, but the most important thing is that the band will start recording their next album soon as part of the new agreement with the label.

The band commented: "We are all very excited to be re-signing with Roadrunner Records! Over the past 5 years from the release of Systematic Chaos to our latest A Dramatic Turn Of Events, we've developed strong creative and professional bonds with everyone at Roadrunner as well as many great friendships along the way."

And added: "Roadrunner's dedication and commitment to Dream Theater has been evident to all of us from the very beginning, and is consistent in all departments and on all levels, right on through to the top. Roadrunner is a record label that is not only great at what they do but who truly understand what Dream Theater is all about as well as the amazing people who support us all around the world whom we proudly call our fans. They are a record company we relate to as an organization firmly rooted in its ideals and mission, while always pushing the envelope in an effort to keep things moving ever forward. We've reached many career defining milestones while at Roadrunner and are all incredibly pumped in anticipation of our continued future together!"

The group first signed with Roadrunner Records in January 2007. After the Dramatic Turn Of Events world tour, Dream Theater is heading back into the studio to record their new album. The next chapter in their career begins in 2013.
