Original Queensryche frontman Geoff Tate shared that he is working on "Operation: Mindcrime III", which he says will be the final album in the concept series that began with the first album in 1988 and was followed by the second chapter in 2006.
Tate appeared on Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen And Shane McEachern, and shared of the new installment, "I would say it has more of an early Queensryche feel; super heavy, and some of 'em (the songs) are incredibly technical. They're like algebra; you need a calculator when you're listening to the song (laughs). Of course, some of them are very emotional.
"It's the last chapter in the Mindcrime series. It's following the exploits of Dr. X and Nikki and Sister Mary, and picks up at a particular point in their story and kind of does the microscope of what is happening at that particular time with them. I am just in love with it. I am so happy with everything so far, and I can't wait for people to hear it."
Tate recently announced that he will be launching the Operation: Mindcrime -The Final Chapter tour of the U.S. next spring, with a second leg taking place in the fall.
