QUEENSRŸCHE is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on its twelfth studio album, "American Soldier". The concept effort, due this spring from Rhino/Atco, finds the band once again tackling some heavy subject matter, this time focusing on telling the story of war from a firsthand perspective. Singer and chief songwriter Geoff Tate has spent the last few years conducting extensive interviews with veterans and has crafted their thoughts into this epic tale. "American Soldier" examines American wars from World War II through Iraq from the viewpoint of those in the trenches and on the frontlines. Following the album's release, QUEENSRŸCHE plans to present tracks from the album live on an extensive spring tour of the U.S., with international dates to follow later in 2009. The first date of the tour will be a hometown gig at Seattle's Snoqualmie Casino on April 16.

"QUEENSRŸCHE has always had incredible support from members of the Armed Services," says Tate. "It seems like after every show, I'd end up speaking with a fan that was or had been involved with the military. The more and more I began to hear their accounts and feelings, the more I really felt a conviction to tell their story. Over the last two years, I've conducted dozens of one-on-one interviews with veterans of many different American wars. I listened to their amazing and moving recounts and did my best to examine war through their eyes."

Ca semble bien parti puisqu'ils viennent de choisir le producteur. Il s'agit de Jason Slater. Ca ne vous dit certainement rien, mais ce monsieur est déjà un responsable du OM II sur lequel il avait oeuvré en tant que producteur et compositeur. Vu les gueules des chansons et le son dégueulasse de l'album, le pire est à craindre. Pour le mix il fera équipe avec un ancien de la maison... non, pas DeGarmo, mais Kelly Gray. According to The Breakdown Room, Jason Slater, the producer, engineer and songwriter of QUEENSRŸCHE's 2006 release "Operation: Mindcrime II", has confirmed that he is producing the band's as-yet-untitled next studio album. He also revealed that Kelly Gray (QUEENSRŸCHE guitarist/producer/engineer from 1998 to 2001) is engineering the record. Slater is quoted as saying, "The plan is that we'll [Kelly and Jason] mix it together, but who the fuck knows?! Everything always seems to change at the last second. I'm pretty happy with the way it's shaping up. The focus is on great songs that the band is proud of and the fans will like."

Le concept a l'air intéressant ma foi, on verra bien, je garde espoir malgré des disques assez moyens ces dernières années, je frissonne encore d'horreur en songeant à Take Cover. Et en studio, hormi OM II que je trouve sympathique, c'est pas la joie depuis 10 ans quand même

Le même. Cela dit même s'il n'est pas parfait, il est moins stéréotypé que celui de Sneap. Ca sonne plus carré mais c'est du coup un peu trop lisse. Bon Kelly Gray il a plus un profil rock/hard rock. J'ai bien aimé ce qu'il a fait avec Slave To The System. A part ça le concept a l'air pas mal. Geoff Tate a de bonnes idées mais niveau zik ça fait longtemps que ça ne suit plus.

Bonne ambiance chez Queensrÿche ! Michael Wilton annonce qu'il a joué toutes les parties de guitares sur le nouvel album. C'est généralement pas le truc qu'on dit avant de sortir un album. Mike Stone appréciera. According to AnybodyListening.net, QUEENSRŸCHE guitarist Michael Wilton has revealed that he has recorded all the guitar parts for the band's upcoming album, "American Soldier". He said in an online posting, "I have been slammed with making the deadline for the new QUEENSRŸCHE opus. I recorded all the guitars this time so it should sound more like the original 'RŸCHE."

La super pochette de l'album. Un vrai symbole que ces rangers... Ca fait 15 ans qu'ils n'ont rien sorti de bien mais le concept est prometteur. A voir si ça les a un peu inspirés niveau musique. QUEENSRŸCHE envisions war through the eyes of a soldier with the band's twelfth studio release, the epic concept album "American Soldier". The ambitious album encompasses a dozen songs inspired by numerous interviews with veterans conducted by Geoff Tate, the group's singer and chief songwriter, who was intent on telling their story using their words. After speaking with soldiers who served in various conflicts — from World War II to Iraq — Tate turned their firsthand experiences from the frontlines into an unflinching musical examination of the life of a solider and the consequences of war. "American Soldier" will be available from Atco/Rhino on March 31 for a suggested list price of $18.98 (CD) and $9.99 (digital). Tate, Michael Wilton (guitar), Ed Jackson (bass) and Scott Rockenfield (drums) recorded the album in 2008 over the course of nine months. The idea for "American Soldier", Tate says, came from hearing stories from fans that are veterans, as well as his own father, who served in both Korea and Vietnam. "My father was a career military man, but until very recently he never spoke about what he went through," he states. "I think that reticence is true of a lot of veterans, which means most people never truly understand what it means to be a soldier at war. Hearing what he and some of our fans have endured made me want to share their stories with the world. This is an album about the soldiers, for the soldiers, as told by the soldiers themselves." Those stories resonate at the heart of "American Soldier", imbuing each song with vivid details about both the emotional and physical impacts of war, evoking war zone battles ("Middle Of Hell"), sacrifice ("The Killer"), loss ("If I Were King"), the longing for home ("Remember Me"), and adjusting to society after returning from war ("Man Down!"). Tate recorded many of his interviews with the soldiers, and some dialogue from these discussions is mixed into several of tracks, allowing the soldiers' own words to help tell their compelling stories. The band also brought a few of the soldiers into the studio with them to record vocals. The verses of the track "Unafraid" feature the voices of Chris Devine, a Vietnam veteran, and Sean Lenahan, a veteran of Somalia, recalling their war experiences while Tate provides the anthemic chorus. Also making a guest vocal appearance is Tate's 10-year-old daughter Emily on the gripping duet "Home Again", which examines the emotional toll of war from two perspectives, with Geoff singing from the soldier's point of view and his daughter singing from the viewpoint of the child left behind. Making the album, Tate says, was an enlightening process. "I was surprised to learn how little has changed through the generations," he reveals. "I spoke with a Vietnam vet whose experience wasn't all that different from a soldier who fought in Somalia almost 30 years later. But what surprised me the most was how antiwar most soldiers are. To me, that makes their sacrifices even more moving." Soon after the release of "American Soldier", QUEENSRŸCHE will launch an extensive spring tour of the U.S., with international dates to follow later in 2009. The shows will be presented in three suites, with the band performing sets from "American Soldier", "Rage For Order", and "Empire". The first date of the tour will be April 16 at Snoqualmie Casino in the band's hometown of Seattle. "American Soldier" track listing 01. Sliver 02. Unafraid 03. Hundred Mile Stare 04.

J'espère qu'il sera distribué en France, vu que ça sort chez Rhino j'ai un doute, OMII n'était sorti qu'en import, j'avais attendu les soldes pour l'acheter

Oui en gros, les militaires ou vétérans que Tate a rencontré sont devenus "anti-guerres" et que leurs impressions et sentiments sont quasiment identiques d'une guerre à l'autre. C'est marrant aussi de voir que Stone a été purement et simplement éjecté du groupe, alors qu'il était en grande partie responsable de OM II (avec Slater).

Ca n'aura pas duré longtemps finalement. Queensrÿche a du mal à trouver un digne remplaçant à DeGarmo. Mike Stone has decided he will not be touring with Queensryche this spring. We will miss him. He is a wonderful player and has contributed to our lives musically and spiritually. We wish him the best and hope to see him succeed in everything he chooses to participate in. He adds this statement: "After much consideration, I will not be joining Queensryche on the 2009 American Soldier Tour. I feel now is the time to focus on other musical endeavors, including my new band Speed X with Nick Catanese of Black Label Society. I would like to thank all of the Queensryche fans around the world for being nothing less than amazing to me during my time with the band. You have treated me like gold, and I will never forget it. It has been an honor to be a part of the Queensryche family, and I wish Geoff, Michael, Scott and Eddie nothing but the very best." - Mike Stone

Je sais pas, mais il faut pas s'attendre à un retour de De Garmo. Qui peuvent-ils embaucher ? Peut être un inconnu comme Kelly Gray et Mike Stone à l'époque (ou peut être même Kelly Gray)...
