Description

Still sealed original 2013 press

25 years after the Mindcrime revolution, the Ryche returns with their 12th studio album – a new chapter in the epic saga of one of the most critically adored and commercially successful metal bands of all time. Vocal powerhouse and frontman Geoff Tate leads the heaviest Queensryche ever, including longtime guitarist Kelly Gray plus newly acquired bassist Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot) and drummer Simon Wright (Ac/dc, Dio). Guest appearances by K.K. Downing (Judas Priest), Chris Poland (Megadeth), Ty Tabor (Kings X), Paul Bostaph (Slayer), Brad Gillis (Night Ranger), Dave Meniketti (Y&T) and more. After 30 years of music making, most bands are content to simply trudge along, putting out the same old type of album again and again, trying to recapture the glory of days past. Not this band, not Queensryche. With every new release, Geoff Tate and company push themselves into new directions, new sounds, and dizzying new heights. The result is that Queensryche is just as vital and musically relevant today as ever they ever were. Even when they revisit older ideas, as they did in 2006 with the long awaited sequel to Operation: Mindcrime, the result was one of the most thrilling releases of their extraordinary career. Now, a new chapter is about to be written, a new album, and a new line-up that unites frontman Tate with a stellar group of new players and seasoned vets.
