New York progressive-metallers Dream Theater are preparing to release the DVD of a lifetime. "Chaos In Motion 2007/2008," will document the band's incredibly ambitious world tour, which kicked off June 3, 2007 at the Monsters of Rock festival in Milan, Italy and traversed "115 shows in 105 cities in 35 countries on 5 continents to hundreds of thousands of fans," before concluding over a year later on June 4, 2008 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Add another name to the Century Media family. Architects have been signed to a worldwide deal by the venerable record label. The first release to come out of the new partnership will be a reissue of the band's second full-length, Ruin, on August 5. The reissue will, in fact, be the first official release of the LP in the United States (the release had previously been limited to the U.K. and Canada). The new edition will feature a bonus track titled "Broken Clocks," as well as several music videos and a tour documentary.
