GEOFF TATE / QUEENSRYCHE

GEOFF TATE’s QUEENSRYCHE – Frequency Unknown [Billy Sherwood’s Mix]

“Frequency Unknown“, the only album released the Geoff Tate-fronted version of QUEENSRŸCHE following his dismissal from the band, arrived in April 2013 amidst a swarm of controversy. The group had just split in two, with Tate leading an all-new group of musicians while the remaining members of QUEENSRŸCHE carried on with a new vocalist, Todd La Torre.
Tate’s version of QUEENSRŸCHE included longtime associate Kelly Gray plus former Quiet Riot / Ozzy bassist Rudy Sarzo and legendary AC/DC and DIO drummer Simon Wright. This group quickly recorded and released “Frequency Unknown”, and though the album earned some praise from critics, complaints began to surface about the quality of the album’s mix.
In response, Cleopatra Records commissioned multi-instrumentalist and producer Billy Sherwood (of YES) to remix the entire album…

QUEENSRYCHE / TODD La TORRE

TODD La TORRE (Queensrÿche) – Rejoice In The Suffering [Deluxe Edition +3] (2021)

As global touring came to a sudden and unexpected halt earlier this year, Queensrÿche frontman TODD La TORRE has been using his recent pandemic downtime to put the finishing touches on his debut solo album ”Rejoice In The Suffering”.
Todd teamed up with longtime friend and collaborator Craig Blackwell and alongside producer Chris “Zeuss” Harris created a diverse metal album that draws influence from different styles. These styles will surprise fans who only know La Torre from his previous work with Queensrÿche or Crimson Glory.
Heavy, but still melodic, these songs are full of groove, dynamics, power, and substance. From the album’s opening riffs of “Dogmata” to the vocal acrobatics that drive the album closer “Apology,” it is apparent that Todd La Torre has a true love for classic metal.

QUEENSRYCHE / REMASTER / SHM-CD

QUEENSRYCHE – Operation: Mindcrime [Japan SHM-CD remastered +2] + I Don’t Believe In Love EP + Eyes Of A Stranger EP *EXCLUSIVE*

Yes, many of you asked for this hard to find, out of print Japan SHM-CD press of QUEENSRYCHE‘s masterpiece “Operation; Mindcrime“. I really don’t like the remastered sound of the European / US reissue, where the atmospheric passages of the album are lost.
This SHM-CD use the same remaster, but on SHM-CD this is a new sonic world. As example, there isn’t that horrible distortion at the beginning of “I Don’t Believe In Love”. Everything sounds fantastic on this SHM-CD, also the mastering (no gaps between tracks).
As great extras, we have the “Eyes Of A Stranger EP” where the song is shorter and has a different mix. Love the different ending riff as well.
And the “I Don’t Believe In Love“ promo-only CDsingle, which includes an extended version of the song with over 1:30 minute of great extra guitar work.
The definitive, best version of this Must Have album.
