"In the Name of God" comes from Train of Thought, Dream Theater's seventh studio album, released through Elektra on November 11, 2003. The band made it after seeing how hard crowds on tour went for their heavier material, and Mike Portnoy wanted a no-holds-barred record built on heavier, darker riffing, the kind that won them a crop of new metal fans. The whole album was written in three weeks.
John Petrucci wrote the words, and the music is credited to Petrucci, Portnoy, John Myung and Jordan Rudess, with James LaBrie singing lead. Petrucci and Portnoy produced, Doug Oberkircher engineered and Kevin Shirley mixed. Like every song on the album, it has since made it onto the stage.
