New York, NY: Four-time Grammy nominees Queensryche have signed a multi-album, worldwide deal with Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records. The band’s label debut –their twelfth studio album overall- is tentatively scheduled for a Spring 2011 release. Singer and founder Geoff Tate remains the creative nucleus of the band, which continues to make relevant, against-the-grain hard rock that entices fans, both new and diehard.

Queensryche have been – and unquestionably remain- one of the most respected and innovative names in forward-thinking hard rock throughout the course of their nearly 30-year history. Since their inception over 25 years ago, Queensryche have sold over 20 million albums worldwide and have performed in over 22 countries.

“We are very happy to be signing with Road Runner/Loud and Proud. This is the rock label and a place where they are as excited about our music as we and our fans are,” Tate said.

“We are excited to welcome Queensryche to the label” stated Loud & Proud President Tom Lipsky. “They have earned global acclaim for their distinctive approach to music and we are confident of a successful partnership with them.”

Queenryche’s 1988-issued album Operation: Mindcrime is universally respected as a classic concept release about rock, revenge and redemption. The album elicited comparisons to The Who’s Tommy and Pink Floyd’s The Wall and is ultimately regarded as one of the most important and essential hard rock records in the genre’s expansive canon. 1990’s follow-up, Empire, yielded a #1 single, the Grammy-nominated ballad “Silent Lucidity,” which the band performed at the 1992 Grammy Awards accompanied by a supporting orchestra.

In 2006, the band released Operation: Mindcrime II, a scorching sequel to their original. The band then hit the road performing both albums Operation: Mindcrime and Operation: Mindcrime II back-to-back in their entirety in an incredible theatrical presentation throughout the year. The final performance was recorded at The Moore Theatre in Seattle that October and the Mindcrime at the Moore double CD/DVD release debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Music DVD Chart and eventually reached Gold status.

QUEENSRŸCHE’S TRIPLE-PLATINUM ‘EMPIRE’ REMASTERED AND EXPANDED FOR 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 14 BY CAPITOL/EMI

Deluxe 2CD and Digital Packages Feature Remastered Original Album Plus 13 Bonus Tracks, Including 10 Previously Unreleased Live Recordings

Hollywood, California – July 15, 2010 – Queensrÿche has partnered with Capitol/EMI for the September 14 release of an expanded 20th Anniversary Edition of the band’s triple platinum-certified breakout album, Empire.  The new 2CD and digital packages both include the remastered album, featuring six hit singles, including the #1 smash “Silent Lucidity,” as well as 13 bonus tracks, among them 10 previously unreleased live performances recorded in 1990 at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. The 2CD package is presented in a lift-top box with five postcards, a fold-out poster and a booklet featuring rare photos from the band’s personal archive.

After building a devoted fan base with album and EP releases throughout the 1980s, including 1988’s critically acclaimed Operation: Mindcrime, Queensrÿche broke into the mainstream across North America and abroad with the 1990 release of Empire.  In the U.S., the album peaked at #7 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and its hit ballad “Silent Lucidity” quickly became a heavy rotation staple at rock radio and on MTV, topping Billboard’s Modern Rock singles chart and earning Queensrÿche the coveted MTV Viewers Choice Award for the song’s music video. Empire also made the U.K.’s Top 10, and the album’s international success led to Queensrÿche’s 18-month headlining “Building Empires” world tour, the band’s longest trek to date.

Empire also features the Billboard Top 10 Modern Rock hits “Jet City Woman” and “Another Rainy Night,” the Top 20 single, “Anybody Listening?,” and the Top 30 singles “Best I Can” and Empire.”  In addition to the aforementioned live recordings, Empire (20th Anniversary Edition)’s bonus tracks include “Last Time in Paris” from the Ford Forlaine soundtrack, “Dirty Lil’ Secret,” and the band’s cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Scarborough Fair.”

Since forming in Bellevue, Washington in 1981, Queensrÿche has sold more than 20 million albums around the world. The band continues to tour and record; American Soldier was released last year. For more information, visit

As the man behind the kit for Queensrÿche, Scott Rockenfield has defined himself as a drummer par excellence, providing both rhythmic support and percussive propulsion with his signature style. A man who can make his hi-hat work as compelling as his tom fills, Rockenfield further expanded the art of metal drumming with inventive playing and showing that subtlety was just as important as aggression. Listen to the seminal rock opera Operation: Mindcrime for proof positive…

In 1981 at the age of 17 he founded the now Multi-Platinum rock band Queensryche. And now after almost 30 years together they have toured around the world dozens of times in over 45 countries and have released over 14 records and with sales over 30 million copies worldwide.

Loopmasters have teamed up with Scott to provide multi-genre producers with a fantastic, fresh and original collection of some of the most truly authentic Rock Drum samples currently available in this royalty free sample collection.

If you are looking for the real sound of Rock Drums to use in your productions then look no further, as Scott has played out some of his favorite rhythms and beats on his preferred rock kits to present here a grooving and heavy hitting collection, now known as Scott Rockenfield’s Rock Drums!

Within this collection you can expect to find in excess of 650MB of content recorded at 24Bit between 130 – 183Bpm. Scott recorded 5 full tracks which have been split into 60 stereo loops (including intro, verse, chorus, bridge, fills etc), and then you also get 165 Loops which are the multitrack loops from these sessions which allow you to mix the beats how you want to hear them, with separated kick, snare, overhead and room mic samples for all the main loop sections. In addition we asked Scott to ‘Rock Out’ for a while and we have edited 60 Bonus drum Loops from this session which feature some truly Rock u mentus drumming!

In addition to this awesome collection of samples producers will also find 76 single Drum samples ready for programming your own beats, and these are also incorporated into 6 Ready to play kits mapped for soft samplers including Reason NNXt, Halion, EXS, SFZ and Kontakt. The pack is also available in Apple Loops format, Reason Refill and as an Ableton Live Pack.

So, if your productions need a Rock edge or you are seeking Rock Drum samples played by one of the most noteworthy drummers of the genre, then check out this unique and original collection of sounds from Loopmasters today!

We’ve had a lot of ‘rock star’ winemakers come through these doors over the years, but this might be the first time we’ve had an actual ‘rock star’ doing something here.  Geoff Tate, of the band Queenryche, will be here to sign purchased bottles of his eponymous Columbia Valley Bordeaux blend entitled, simply, ‘Insania’.  The band is in town for an event at The Grove in Anaheim the following night.

July 21st – 4 to 6pm

On Friday, July 23 BottleRock Downtown Los Angeles will welcome multi-platinum selling, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Geoff Tate of Queensrÿche for an exclusive signing of his wine – Insania.

A passion for wine, beer, food, and music is the driving force behind BottleRock. They are the perfect wine trifecta — wine bar, restaurant, and wine retail shop – just 1 1/2 blocks from LA Live. BottleRock offers a wide array of international renowned wines and world craft beers that pair well with our thoughtfully creative cuisine. The signing will take place in BottleRock’s Lounge from 12.00pm – 4.00pm. Bottles of Insania will be available for retail purchase for just $35 and available by the glass for $15. BottleRock will be serving lunch and light food beginning at 11.30am.

Insania is a blend from six different vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley, the 2008 Insania truly captures the bold ripeness and rich texture of a red Bordeaux blend. A cooperative project between Geoff Tate and Holly Turner, the winemaker for Three Rivers, the Insania blend is perfect for pairing with well-marbled red meats, rich pasta dishes or dark chocolate.
