Todd La Torre and co are currently running a Pledge campaign entitled Building The Empire for the launch of their second album since controversially splitting with original frontman Geoff Tate.

The band say: "It's been a turbulent year for Queensryche - and we've decided to harness that energy and drive into making a killer new record." The follow-up to 2013's self-titled release is expected in the coming months, with 63 days remaining to pre-order via their campaign page.
