QUEENSRŸCHE has announced an early 2023 U.S. tour in support of its sixteenth studio album, “Digital Noise Alliance”. The band has just wrapped up a fall run in North America supporting JUDAS PRIEST on the “50 Heavy Metal Years” tour, and will now launch their first headlining campaign to promote the new LP. At the same ti e they have unveiled the music video for the single “Sicdeth”. Check it out below.
Speaking about the song and video, Todd La Torre shares: “‘Sicdeth’ is an abstract tale about convicted killers and the fallout of those attached on both sides. How can the victims’ and the assailants’ families overcome such pain? The inmate now has only their mind with which to escape. The song lyrics discretely touch on the very polarizing convicted murderer Jody Arias. The video however was more tailored to the Aileen Wuornos case.”
Direct support on the “Digital Noise Alliance” tour will come from former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman, with TRAUMA opening each show. A complete list of dates can be seen below. Spotify pre-sales and local pre-sales begin on Wednesday, December 7th at 10am local time (and running until Thursday, December 8th at 10pm local time).
Commenting on their upcoming live shows, QUEENSRŸCHE says: “”We are very excited to be doing this headline tour in support of our most recent album, ‘Digital Noise Alliance’! This touring package is amped up and very much looking forward to seeing all of you! Come on out and let’s have a great time together, as live music is as vibrant as ever once again!”
“Everyone in TRAUMA is thankful for the opportunity to be touring all across the US with Queensrÿche on their ‘Digital Alliance’ tour,” said TRAUMA in a statement. “TRAUMA is very excited to be a part of this tour.”
