Rock icons Queensryche will release their new album, “The Verdict“, on March 1, 2019 via Century Media Records. The band’s forthcoming release was produced, mixed, and mastered by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Rob Zombie, Iced Earth, Hatebreed) at Uberbeatz in Lynwood, Washington; Planet-Z in Wilbraham, Massachusetts; and Watershed Studio in Seattle, Washington. Pre-orders and formats will be announced soon.
“I’m extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish on this record,” states Queensryche vocalist Todd La Torre. “The relentless dedication and hard work of everyone involved has been very rewarding. I am excited and looking forward to it no longer just belonging to us, but belonging to the world. We hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!”
Michael “Whip” Wilton adds: “‘The Verdict’ is the most metal and the most progressive record we have made in a long time. I couldn’t possibly be more excited for everyone to hear this.”
To support “The Verdict”, Queensryche has also announced a spring U.S. headline tour with special guests Fates Warning and The Cringe will be joining both bands on select dates. The tour will kick off on March 2 in Orlando, making stops in major markets such as New York, Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and will wrap on April 3 in Seattle.
