[AlphaMale]

 

Queensrÿche have announced the release of The Verdict on March 1, 2019, via Century Media Records.

"I'm extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish on this record. The relentless dedication and hard work of everyone involved has been very rewarding," singer Todd La Torre said in a statement. "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!"

Added guitarist Michael "Whip" Wilton, "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."

The Verdict was produced, mixed, and mastered by Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Iced Earth, Hatebreed) at Uberbeatz in Lynwood, WA, Planet-Z in Wilbraham, MA and Watershed Studio in Seattle, WA. A Pledge pre-order campaign is currently running here.

Additionally, Queensryche will be heading out on a spring 2019 tour in support of The Verdict. Support will come from Fates Warning, with the Cringe joining both bands on select dates. For more information, as well as purchasing tickets, go to QueensrycheOfficial.com.

Isn't it power metal by the way? Nevermind, nobody cares Queensryche nowadays.

Not terrible but not great either.  Sounds like a band imitating the sound of Queensryche.

Damn, if you close your eyes, you'd swear that's Tate! LOL

I've not listened to any of these, yet, but I have high hopes for this. Condition Hüman was an immense album, so I'll be sad if this doesn't live up to it.

Careful.  He might spit on you for saying that.

Queensryche lost me after the mid 90's with a string of average to downright bad albums.  For me though, since Todd joined they've seemed rejuvenated.  After giving this a few spins I believe it is their best effort since Promised Land.  While it doesn't have any songs that match the quality of Rage, Mindcrime, or Empire albums I think fans of those early days will enjoy it, if they're willing to give it a chance.
