In new video report from Artisan News, the Scott Rockenfield version of QUEENSRŸCHE talks about media reports that Geoff Tate is rushing his Frequency Unknown album is a desperate move, and they say they won't release their album until it's ready. Watch the report below:

The Todd La Torre-fronted Queensrÿche recently signed a new deal with Century Media for the release of their upcoming studio album, which is slated for release on June 10th, 2013 in Europe (June 11th in North America). The album marks the debut album from the lineup comprised of Todd La Torre (vocals), Michael Wilton (guitars), Parker Lundgren (guitars), Eddie Jackson (bass) and Scott Rockenfield (drums).

The band have posted celebratory photos of the band officially completing guitars and bass on the upcoming album. Check them out below:

Queensrÿche are currently focused on its Return To History tour, which began March 5th, and completing the new album.

"Recording is finished. It's that final stage where we mix and we master... It's been quite crazy so we're winding down so we can focus on the final section of the record, which is the artwork and the name and everything else," Rockenfield says.

The band has reteamed with producer James "Jimbo" Barton, who also guided Queensrÿche in the studio for its albums Operation: Mindcrime, Empire and Promised Land, for its latest project.
