Geoff Tate, known for his four-octave voice range, performs Aug. 2 in Allentown as the frontman for Queensryche. |
Classic progressive metal rock band Queensryche released their 12th studio album entitled "Dedicated to Chaos" on June 28.
They'll make a stop Aug. 2 at Crocodile Rock, 812 Hamilton St. in Allentown as part of their 30th Anniversary Tour. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $18 in advance or $20 at the door.
Formed in 1981, the band is made up of original members guitarist Michael Wilton, drummer Scott Rockenfield, lead singer Geoff Tate and bassist Eddie Jackson. Guitarist Parker Lundgren joined the band in 2009 to replace Mike Stone.
The foundation for Queensryche was first laid when Wilton and Rockenfield performed as Cross+Fire and covered songs by Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. When Tate joined, they changed their name to The Mob and later to Queensryche at their record label's suggestion.
The band has gone through lineup tweaks and has experimented with more stripped-down sounds over the last 30 years, but is best known for their hits "Silent Lucidity" and "Jet City Woman" off their 1990 album "Empire."
