QUEENSRŸCHE Singer Talks About New Album With U.K.'s ROCK RADIO (Audio)
April 7, 2011Paul Anthony of U.K.'s Rock Radio recently conducted an interview with vocalist Geoff Tate of Seattle progressive rockers QUEENSRŸCHE. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.
When asked about the sound of the band's forthcoming twelfth studio album, "Dedicated To Chaos", Tate said, "It's kind of like an 'Empire' record set 25 years in the future. [Laughs] It's a very listenable record, I think. I think people will find it interesting to listen to on headphones, especially. There's a lot going on with it. And there's definitely an emphasis on the rhythm section. Eddie [Jackson, bass] and Scott [Rockenfield, drums] have written a lot of the songs on this particular record, so it really showcases what they do, which is something very special."
He added, "This record is definitely a boundary-pusher in a lot of respects, I think. It's always difficult to describe music; it's better to experience it. So I'll let people hear it and make up their own minds."

"Dedicated To Chaos" will be released on June 28 in North America via Loud & Proud Records, a Roadrunner Records imprint focusing on established artists. The band is currently planning a tour in support of the new opus, which was recorded in the group's hometown and produced by Kelly Gray.
"Modern life moves fast," Tate previously 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."
