I don't know where to post this, so I'll put this here: I visited a local library and there was the latest issue of a music mag that included an intie with James and JP. There was a lot of talk about the split with MP and not a lot of new info on DT12, but JP said they'll play some longer and more challenging songs on the upcoming tour and he guaranteed that Illumination Theory will be in the setlist. Not surprising, I know, but it seems that a bigger epic like ACOS or Octavarium may be played, or then they'll just play a lot of 10-15-minute songs.
James and Matt Guillory also talked about Impermanent Resonance - James admitted he's probably the biggest metal fan in DT now that MP is gone, but also reminded that he loves a lot of poppy stuff as well. He also said he played IR songs to his DT bandmates in the studio and they enjoyed the album. James and Matt plan on touring after the DT album cycle is over.
