Geoff Tate never ceases to amaze me and blow me away.\u00a0 Just when you think he’s out of ideas, great things come from this whether he’s writing a solo album, doing an acoustic tour, or, as of now, doing a new project for Frontiers Records.\u00a0 The former Queensryche and current Operation: Mindcrime frontman Geoff Tate has revealed his new project titled Sweet Oblivion.<\/p>\n
Tate has teamed up with guitarist and bassist Simone Mularoni, keyboardist Emanuele Casali and drummer Paolo Caridi\u00a0in the band \u2013 and they\u2019ll release their self-titled debut album on June 14 through Frontiers Music srl.<\/p>\n
And, to mark the announcement, Sweet Oblivion have launched a video for their first single True Colors<\/em> which can be watched below.<\/p>\n Tate says: \u201cI was approached by Frontiers to do this record and am pleased I took the chance. It\u2019s an album\u00a0filled with fun and I believe a lot of the fans who dig the old Queensryche sound will enjoy this!\u201d<\/p>\n Mularoni, who also produced the record, adds:\u00a0\u201cI grew up listening to 70s and 80s rock and metal bands and, of course, Queensryche\u2019s classic albums are among my favourites ever.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving the opportunity and luck of working together with a musical giant like Geoff has been a real blessing on both the human and the artistic side.<\/p>\n \u201cI asked a few amazing musicians and friends to help me out and together we delivered a bunch of classic heavy rock songs in which I tried to fuse a more contemporary approach with a classic Queensryche vibe. The performances are amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n You can pre-order the album here: http:\/\/radi.al\/SweetOblivion<\/a><\/p>\n
