The members of Queensryche that split with vocalist Geoff Tate last summer have signed a new record deal with Century Media Records, and announced their first album with vocalist Todd La Torreis on the way. Century Media is a company whose A&R representative officially supported Tate's injunction to prevent anyone from using the name Queensryche until legal issues were settled. That injunction

Geoff Tate's musical aspirations have faced their fare share of stumbling blocks lately. After being ousted from Queensryche, Tate responded by founding his own version of the band, which promptly lost a guitar player and drummer, and saw its keyboard player suffer a heart attack -- but Tate isn't letting any of that stop him from hitting the road with a new lineup.

The tumultuous year for Queensryche that is 2012 is ending on a scary note. Randy Gane, who is currently playing keyboards in lead singer Geoff Tate's version of the band, suffered a heart attack on Wednesday (Dec. 26) night.

Singer Geoff Tate has certainly had a harder-than-expected road to his new solo album 'Kings & Thieves,' which releases today (Nov. 6) via InsideOut Music. The hard rock veteran began the album as a side project from his day gig as the front man in Queensryche, but by the time it was completed he had been fired from the group he helped found three decades ago.

From the sound of his new single 'Take a Bullet,' Geoff Tate isn't taking his ousting from Queensryche lying down. The new track should thrill fans of the heavier side of Tate's muse with its aggressive guitar riffing, thunderous rhythm track and in-your-face attitude.

Queensryche vocalist Geoff Tate has announced the title and release date for his long-anticipated second solo album. The singer-songwriter and front man will release 'Kings & Thieves' on Nov. 6 via InsideOut Music.

The latest episode of the ongoing Queensryche soap opera could be titled 'A Tale of Two Queensryches.' Singer Geoff Tate has announced the musicians he's chosen for an entirely new lineup of the group that he is launching, while his former band mates also continue to use the name.

Some of rock's greats were on hand Sunday night (Aug. 26) in Las Vegas for the third annual Vegas Rocks! Magazine Music Awards. Sammy Hagar, Geoff Tate, and David Coverdale of Whitesnake were among the top honorees taking home hardware for their efforts at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Singer Geoff Tate was the guest on Saturday night's (Aug. 25) 'That Metal Show' on VH1 Classic, and provided an open account of his ousting from Queensryche, with some speculation as to why it occurred.

Now fans can pick a Queensryche, any Queensryche they like. The summer split of the longtime rock band has left singer Geoff Tate touring as the "Voice of Queensryche," and the rest of the band touring as Queensryche. Paul Rodgers and Bad Company even find the arrangement confusing.
