Queensrÿche recently announced the release of their new album The Verdict for March 1^st, 2019 via Century Records. Check out a trailer below featuring message from vocalist Todd La Torre promoting their North American tour with Fates Warning and listen to a snippet of a new song.

Pre-orders and formats will be announced soon. In the meantime, the band has a Pledge pre-order campaign currently running here.

"I'm extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish on this record," states Queensrÿche vocalist Todd La Torre about The Verdict. "The relentless dedication and hard work of everyone involved has been very rewarding. I am excited and looking forward to it no longer just belonging to us, but belonging to the world. We hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!"

Michael "Whip" Wilton (guitar) adds, "The Verdict is the most metal and the most progressive record we have made in a long time. I couldn't possibly be more excited for everyone to hear this."

To support The Verdict, Queensrÿche have also announced their spring US headline tour today with special guests Fates Warning. The Cringe will be joining both bands on select dates. The tour will kick off on March 2nd in Orlando, making stops in major markets such as New York, Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and will wrap on April 3rd in Seattle.
