QUEENSRŸCHE has entered the studio to begin recording its new album for a tentative late 2022 release. Helming the effort once again is Chris "Zeuss" Harris, who previously worked with the band on 2015's "Condition Hüman" and 2019's "The Verdict" LPs.

Earlier today, Zeuss took to his Instagram to share a photo of QUEENSRŸCHE drummer Casey Grillo's drum kit, and he included the following caption: "RŸCHE under way.. @caseyjgrillo"

This past November, QUEENSRŸCHE singer Todd La Torre told Canada's The Metal Voice about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the band's new album: "We have all the songs that we're gonna be recording. We're gonna press record at the very beginning of January."

Regarding the musical direction of the new QUEENSRŸCHE material, Todd said: "It doesn't sound like 'The Verdict'. It's its own new kind of thing. We really kind of just focused more on melodic hooks. I don't think we went in thinking, like, 'Oh, we need to sound old school or new or this.'"

QUEENSRŸCHE has set "Digital Noise Alliance" as the title of its new studio album, due on October 7 via Century Media Records.

Earlier today (Friday, May 20),QUEENSRŸCHE guitarist Michael Wilton shared a short video teaser for the upcoming follow-up to 2019's "The Verdict", and he included the following message: "Digital Noise Alliance - October 7, 2022 #Queensryche #DigitalNoiseAlliance #NewAlbum".

"Digital Noise Alliance" was once again helmed by Chris "Zeuss" Harris, who previously worked with QUEENSRŸCHE on 2015's "Condition Hüman" and "The Verdict" LPs.
