April 12, 2016, 8 years ago
Former Queensryche vocalist Geoff Tate, now fronting Operation: Mindcrime, recently called in to 90.7 WCLH at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, PA to talk about his writing process, lyrics, ideas, influences, and his latest release, The Key.
Operation: Mindcrime released their debut album, entitled The Key, on September 18th, 2015 The album track “Hearing Voices” is streaming below.
Perhaps one of Tate's most ambitious recordings to date, The Key examines what one might do if they discovered "the key" to changing the way we view the world, the way we look at time, the way we travel, and could essentially change the human condition... for better or for worse.
Fresh from the creative mind of Geoff Tate, The Key features a dozen songs (see entire track listing below) and marks part one of an epic musical trilogy that initiates that very question within a web of international politics, the world economy and social ethos.
