In January, AVANTASIA‘s 7th studio album “Ghostlights” will be released via Nuclear Blast. After Jorn Lande, another guest star can be announced: OPERATION MINDCRIME vocalist Geoff Tate!
Tobias comments: “I am proud to announce a very special guest today: Mr. Geoff Tate! I have been fortunate enough to meet many amazing classic metal vocalists. Whenever we’ve talked about our influence as vocalists the name Geoff Tate was brought up. Throughout his incredible career of more than 30 years Geoff has constantly explored new territory as an artist and vocalist, while he has always managed to maintain this distinctive signature vocal sound that makes him stand out. His contribution sounds nothing but amazing, and you will immediately know why the man had such a huge impact on vocalists and fans around the globe! Enchanting, unique, amazing, progressive in the purest sense of the word! Thank you for joing the AVANTASIA family, Geoff Tate!”

The international Vivaldi Metal Project was launched at the end of 2013 by keyboardist, composer and producer Mistheria (solo artist who also worked with such top artists as Bruce Dickinson, Rob Rock, Roy Z among others) together with his co-producer, bassist Alberto Rigoni (solo artist, TwinSpirits). It has been a big challenge for the project creators and for all the participants to re-arrange and to perform this classic masterpiece beloved by millions people all over the globe in the vein of metal music power. It took about two years to form a cast of top rock and metal singers and instrumentalists.
The recordings started in June 2015. At the moment, the international team has finished most of the drum parts and started recording bass.
The album release is set for March 2016.

QUEENSRŸCHE has partnered up with Billboard.com to exclusively debut the ripping new music video for the track “Guardian”, which comes off the group’s highly anticipated new, full-length offering, “Condition Hüman”, set for a release via Century Media Records on Oct 2nd.

Billboard.com “Guardian” Video Stream and Exclusive Scott Rockenfield Interview, HERE.
Head over now to CM Distro to view all new pre-order items and exclusive box-set and t-shirts.
Against the formidable obstacles of an ever-changing cultural landscape, the rise and fall of various musical trends, and the near collapse of the record industry itself, QUEENSRŸCHE secured a triumphant legacy as one of hard rock’s most respected and celebrated acts, selling 30 million albums around the world across a 30-plus-year career.
The much-anticipated new offering, “Condition Hüman”, sees LaTorre deliver the performance of a lifetime on what is now his sophomore recording effort with the band. Produced by Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, Sanctuary) in the band’s native Washington, “Condition Hüman” is a new mountain towering over many of the peaks and valleys of the hard rock landscape.
The epic album opening track “Arrow of Time” can be heard now exclusively at the link below:
Also, don’t miss QUEENSRŸCHE on tour as direct support to the legendary Scorpions across North America from Sept 10th to Oct 9th. For all dates head either see below or head over to http://www.queensrycheofficial.com
The band’s name is uttered in the same breath as many of the groups they looked to as influences and others who arose as peers. Queensrÿche built a dedicated legion of fans traveling the globe on tour with fellow rock giants like Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Judas Priest, and Def Leppard. In recent years, they’ve consistently delivered high-octane live shows combining the hungry fire of a new band with the tempered experience of master showmen. Even with eleven gold and platinum plaques and a several Top 10 hard rock anthems woven into the very fiber of the genre, Queensrÿche won’t relent. In fact, they’re in the throes of a jaw-dropping creative resurgence.
