On October 25th Dream Theater announced the return of co-founder and long-time-drummer Mike Portnoy. He replaces Mike Mangini, who took Portnoy's drum-stool 13 years ago. So the band will be doing the 16th studio album with the drummer that gave them the heartbeat from day one until "Black Clouds And Silver Linings" in 2009.

This is great news! I always love it when band members come back to their original bands. Especially if it's a well respected and appreciated member. I'm not a big DT fan but I like Portnoy so I'll be looking out for this upcoming album for sure.
Welcome back Mike!
