Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy has offered a description of what the prog metal veterans’ next album will sound like.

Talking to Marcelo Vieira and Matheus Ribeiro, the 57-year-old, who returned to Dream Theater last year following a 13-year absence, has said that the new record picks up where his last album with the band, 2009’s Black Clouds & Silver Linings, left off.
