Queensryche will release their next album in October according to guitarist Michael Wilton.
The band are working on what will be their first release since they settled their dispute with former singer Geoff Tate – who this week revealed his new band Operation: Mindcrime’s debut will be out in September.
Wilton tells Rock By Wild: “The next album from Queensryche is hopefully coming out the first week of October. We are doing a worldwide release. And the record label, Century Media, is the one that will be putting it out.
“They have the demos right now and are very positive and happy about it. I know that a lot of people are really anticipating this, so stay tuned and you won’t be disappointed.”
The guitarist adds that the Queensryche lineup – which features frontman Todd La Torre – is as settled as it has been in a long time. He says: “Well, there’s a new unity. There’s a bond between the band, and everyone is on the same level.
“Everyone is participating as musicians, and things are moving along really great, and the songwriting is very cohesive. You’ll see the energy in the stage show and see the difference.”
Queensryche head out on a widespread tour next month.
