Queensryche Name New Album
Expect the new album in the summer
Queensryche have named their 12th studio album Dedicated To Chaos. The album is tentatively due in the summer via Loud & Proud Records, a Roadrunner Records. It was recorded in the group's hometown and produced by Kelly Gray.
"Modern life moves fast," singer Geoff Tate stated about the album. "Plug into the rhythm of the now with our twelfth studio album, 'Dedicated To Chaos'. The clash and slash of musical experimentation anchored by the pulse of digital code." He did issue one suggestion to listeners as well, saying, "Enjoy - headphones are a must."
When asked about the progress of the recording sessions for the new Queensryche CD, Tate said in a recent interview, "We've been working on it steadily. We're kind of in the final stages of it now. And I'm looking forward to getting that done. It's a really long record, with really interesting, different music. I'm really excited for people to hear it because it's another kind of step in a different direction for us... We've been experimenting a lot with different musical brushstrokes laughs, kind of pushing the envelope a little bit on everybody's performance and pushing them outside of comfortable ground and trying to do some different stuff. Which is kind of what got us into making records in the first place - the experimental side of painting the audio picture. And everybody still shares that way of thinking, which is pretty phenomenal when you think of a bunch of guys hanging out together for 30 years laughs - that we'd still have something to say."
Queenryche are on the road with Judas Priest in the UK this summer following their appearance at the High Voltage Festival in London on 3 July.
