I just recently started listening to these guys, and the DT influence was immediately apparent, and strongly, to where if someone had told me it was new DT, I wouldn't of questioned it until I realized the keys weren't so intrusive.

You can tell the measure of a musician, by how they speak about other musicians. Richard giving praise to everyone from Hendrix to Skynyrd shows he's a real student to his craft. Haken-Virus is a testament to how creative and proficient these boys are. Hands down the best album of the year so far, and the one to beat. They do a killer live show as well.

I had the same path to prog metal. I used to listen a lot of hard rock back then Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and Jimi hendrix was my favorite musician. Then I start to listen more Metallica, Iron Maiden and Nirvana Alice in Chains. Mid nineties a friend of mine told me you have to listen this band. And they were Dream Theater.
