In addition to announcing their upcoming headline tour, Queensrÿche have released a new music video for the track Sicdeth off Digital Noise Alliance. Speaking about the song and video, Todd La Torre shares:
“‘Sicdeth is an abstract tale about convicted killers and the fallout of those attached on both sides. How can the victims’ and the assailants’ families overcome such pain? The inmate now has only their mind with which to escape. The song lyrics discretely touch on the very polarizing convicted murderer Jody Arias. The video however was more tailored to the Aileen Wuornos case.”
[Dana’s note: Warning: video contains graphic and disturbing images.]
With a career that not only spans, but has charted the course of multiple genres, Queensrÿche remains a force in their own right. Digital Noise Alliance Queensrÿche’s 16th studio album continues their ever-evolving legacy.
Once again teaming up with producer Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed), Digital Noise Alliance not only refracts the band’s past accomplishments but also pushes into the band’s future. It is the band effortlessly moving from strength to strength: immediate and thought-provoking.
Previously released from Digital Noise Alliance: Hold On, Forest, Behind The Walls and In Extremis.
Queensrÿche is:
Eddie Jackson: bass
Michael Wilton: guitar
Todd La Torre: vocals
Casey Grillo: drums
Mike Stone: guitar

This lineup isn’t Queensryche. Band should change their name to Rising West like they did 10 years ago, when La Torre joined the band, to play a few hometown shows. I think, at least then, the band would have more credibility.
Well Geff Tate put out two releases without original members until he lost the name. I think this version of Queensryche sounds heavier than ever. Todd’s voice is a perfect fit! The band sounds great.
The three releases with the band called Operation Mindcrime is not bad at all.I own all 3 and listen to them often. Geff Tate is the heart of Queensryche!! I cant stop listening to Rage of Order all these years later. But without a great band he stuggles as we saw in his solo releases. I will go see these guys on this tour for sure!
Well then, Foreigner ain’t Foreigner.
At least there are some Queensryche members still in the band.
I’m OK with moving on with a new singer, especially when it breathes new life in a band.
Dio after Ozzy, Brian after Bon, Bruce after Paul, Sammy after Dave, and Ripper after Rob… just kidding Dana!
Love the “new” versions of Queensryche, Accept, and Skid Row.
These guys have been touring beasts lately, saw them twice opening for Priest. This (new) album took a few spins for me to like, but I give it a thumbs up. Interestingly enough, I like the slow song, “Forest,” the best.
