Release the Kraken: Mike Portnoy Week Begins

Mike Portnoy begins with a Q&A with a twist: we’ll pick 5 questions, and Mike will answer them on video. Then, it’s on to the last of the unlocked music samples from the album. This will be an especially cool one…

Next up, a contest to win an autographed drum head and Flying Colors album from Mike! Finally, we’ll post an exclusive Mike Portnoy drum video where he discusses one of the songs, followed by footage from the studio and drum cameras.

Oh, and one more thing. You probably want to see Mike out there playing this stuff live, so we’re proud to officially announce the Flying Colors 2012 World Tour!
