Queensryche

The official settlement hasn't been announced yet, but it appears that Geoff Tate can now bill himself as "The Voice of Queensryche."

It appears that the feud between Geoff Tate and the other members of Queensryche has come to an end.

"We're fans of rock music from all the way back, and we were just sitting around talking, and we came up with this idea -- 'Wouldn't be fun if…?' So here we are."

The legal battle between Geoff Tate and his former Queensryche bandmates has extended beyond a year, but the singer says that he hopes that everything will be decided upon shortly for everyone involved.

Queensryche's biggest hit, like a lot of bands of the era, was a ballad. 'Silent Lucidity' is a gentle, acoustic driven song with orchestration to powerfully back the mood. Hey, even hardened metalheads can be softies at times! Here we have the song being played wonderfully by a young boy.

Queensryche have enjoyed positive reviews for their first album with new singer Todd La Torre. But don't expect to hear any praise from La Torre's predecessor, Geoff Tate, who's touring and recording with his own version of Queensryche.

The pending legal showdown between Geoff Tate and his former bandmates in Queensryche will have to wait a few more months.

Geoff Tate's Queensryche has changed its lineup so many times that it's hard to keep track of who's in the band at any given moment -- and as it turns out, that's exactly the way Tate likes it.

With new vocalist Todd La Torre firmly ensconced in the lineup, the Geoff Tate-less version of Queensryche is getting ready to hit fans with a brand new album on June 10. But you don't have to wait until summer to hear new music from the band -- in fact, they've just debuted the record's leadoff single, 'Redemption.'

Saying that "revolution is calling once again" for singer Geoff Tate, Cleopatra Records has unveiled what's being billed as Queensryche's 13th studio album: 'Frequency Unknown,' or 'F.U.' for short.
