Queensrÿche issued their 15th album, The Verdict, on March 1. It should be no surprise to stalwart fans that the group continues to evolve more than 35 years into its career. The music, always dynamic, remains so on this new set, the first in the group’s career not to feature drummer Scott Rockenfield. Instead, the group recorded as a quartet with vocalist Todd La Torre taking over the drummer’s throne. (more…)

Founding member and guitar maestro Michael Wilton joined Metal Wani on the phone as the band prepares to hit the road in support of the new album. Given that the new album fits so well with the last two albums and even reminds me of early works such as ‘The Warning’ and the first EP, I asked Michael how he feels this album stacks up to them. “I view it as a natural evolution of the band” Michael responds, “I think it is perfect for what we are striving for to continue on as Queensryche”.
