Promoting their newest album, Live Evolution – a two disc set spanning their 20-year career – the band brings their literary hard rock to auditoriums around the States until the end of November.

“It should be a very exciting and rewarding tour for us, in that we are finally going to be presenting the history of Queensryche. It’s something that we have never done before,” drummer Scott Rockenfield said.

Like the album, their tour will showcase songs that encompass the band’s entire career – playing old favorites such as “The Lady Wore Black,” “Queen Of The Reich,” “I Am I,” “Eyes Of A Stranger,” and “Liquid Sky.”

Although work on the retrospective album has kept them away from the road for a few months, Queensryche is never dormant long. In early 2000, they headlined a tour and then spent several months on the road during the summer with Iron Maiden and Rob Halford.
