After the messy, public 2010 divorce between progressive metal titans Dream Theater and their co-founder drummer Mike Portnoy, the prospect of a detente seemed like little more than, well, a dream.
Time heals all wounds, however, and after initially documenting his reconciliation with guitarist John Petrucci via social media, Portnoy proceeded to rejoin his longtime bandmate in the studio twice in 2020 – first to record the third album by the instrumental supergroup Liquid Tension Experiment, and then to man the throne for Petrucci’s second solo LP, Terminal Velocity.
