Tatelast week announced that his current version ofQUEENSRŸCHEwill forge ahead asOPERATION: MINDCRIMEafter the current tour ends.
Named afterQUEENSRŸCHE's epic concept album from 1988,"Operation: Mindcrime"- a band consisting ofGeoff Tate,Rudy Sarzo(OZZY OSBOURNE,WHITESNAKE),Simon Wright(AC/DC,DIO),Randy Gane(MYTH) andKelly Gray(QUEENSRYCHE1998 - 2001, 2012 - present) - will enter the studio in September to begin recording a trilogy project thatGeoff's been working on for the past two years.
Tate, who has always enjoyed telling stories through music, considers the creation of the forthcoming trilogy one of his biggest and most ambitious works to date.
"I tried to reduce the story and eventually got it down to 37 ideas that needed representing to complete the story," commentsGeoff. "I knew that one record wouldn't cover it and that it would have to be a trilogy. It's an exciting project and one we'd like to release the first part of sometime next spring."
With the evolution of his band,Geofwould like to concentrate on concept and story albums in the years to come. Fans like to call it, "Thinking Man's Metal" andGeoffplans to continue expanding the musical dimensions of your mind.
"It doesn't seem that long ago when I first brought the'Mindcrime'story to the band! they were, initially, against it.Chris DeGarmowas the first one to get on board and, once he did, we were able to move forward with what became one of our greatest achievements as a band."
Tateis looking forward to what lies ahead with his trilogy project. "It is so refreshing to be able to concentrate on the many stories and ideas that I have been working on with no boundaries or restrictions," statesGeoff, further adding, "With the newly named band, I think fans will continue to enjoy the music we create and perform together and hope they share this new musical journey with us."
