On the heels of "Operation: Mindcrime II", Queensryche may have the third edition of it in a half-done project that is due next summer or fall. The progressive metal band has begun the long hours of stay in the studio to work on a new as-yet-untitled album.
"We're just into the first couple months of writing for it, and it's a theme record. It's based on modern American life, sort of a social commentary," frontman Geoff Tate told Billboard.com. "Musically it's very adventurous for us. It's something we haven't done before. It's going to take a lot of people by surprise, and at the same time I think they're going to be very intrigued by the concept of it."
