The urgent “Out of the Black” and “Behind the Walls,” with its synth flourishes, are other excellent tracks.
Six-string harmonies and melodic runs and riffs, propel the flowing memories on “Chapters” and the dynamic “Lost in Sorrow.” “Sicdeth,” the heaviest track on “Digital Noise Alliance,” is propelled by La Torre’s commanding vocals. All told, Queensrÿche’s chemistry and the superior song quality make Digital Noise Alliance easily the band’s best output in more than a decade.įans can hear a new song mixed with classics and latter day material when Queensrÿche opens for Judas Priest on Tuesday, October 18, at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island. La Torre’s dynamic vocal range – his high notes are the envy of many of a singer, Wilton and Stone playing off each other, Jackson’s pulsating bass lines, and Grillo’s creative foundation show the band is more than the sum of its parts.
The latter has been touring with the band the past five years Digital Noise Alliance marks his first studio recording. Queensrÿche consists of La Torre, founding members guitarist Michael Wilton and bassist Eddie Jackson, returning guitarist Mike Stone, and drummer Casey Grillo.
To top it off, Queensrÿche just released Digital Noise Alliance, an inspired album that sees the band moving forward but incorporating the guitar harmonies and melodies that have not been as prevalent on recent albums and harken back to the band’s late 1980s, early 1990s days. The rock/prog band from Seattle just celebrated its 40th anniversary, while singer Todd La Torre is marking his 10th year in the vocal slot. It has been a milestone year for Queensrÿche. History may repeat itself, and that may be a given some 16 albums into a career, but with Queensrÿche, their musical history is merely the backbone to where they are at today – and it is more than welcomed even within their four-decade-spanning evolution.
