QUEENSRŸCHE recently entered Uberbeatz Studio in Washington with producer Chris “Zeuss” Harris (ROB ZOMBIE, HATEBREED, SOULFLY, SHADOWS FALL) to begin recording new album, due later in the year via Century Media.

In an interview with Metal Nation Radio, QUEENSRŸCHE singer Todd La Torre spoke about what fans can expect to hear on the band’s follow-up to 2013’s self-titled album. He said: “The songs that we have right now are, I would say, melodic. There are some heavy tunes on there that are just, like, really rocking. I mean, some of the songs remind me, again, of ‘Rage For Order’, ‘[Operation:] Mindcrime’… We’ll probably slip in something that’s got a commercial… Not that we’re trying to… Something with a more commercial appeal, like the song ‘In This Light’ did on the record that I did before. But, overall, I’m hopeful that, when it’s all said and done, this record will have a really good drive, great, melodic choruses, great guitar parts, very dynamic… A little more prog… There’s a little more proggy elements…

“When you’ve got two years [between albums], you don’t want [people] to say, ‘Wow, that’s the best they could come up with?’ You never want that. You always want, ‘Hell yeah! This is another great QUEENSRŸCHE record.’ And that’s all that you can really hope for. But it’s definitely going to have, again, what I consider all of the elements that the true QUEENSRŸCHE fans will enjoy: great drumming, solid foundation, bass driven, great guitar work and harmony things… Vocally, there’s some things where I get into the upper register pretty good.”

QUEENSRŸCHE‘s latest, self-titled album sold around 13,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 23 on The Billboard 200 chart. The record arrived in stores on June 25, 2013 via Century Media Records.
