Multi-platinum selling, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Geoff Tate is best known for his
30-plus years as the creative and driving force behind the progressive metal band
Queensryche. Since its inception with Geoff at the helm, Queensryche has sold over 20 million
albums worldwide and has performed in upwards of fifty countries. Geoff is regarded as one of
the most skilled vocalists in the genre with hundreds of modern, popular artists citing him and
his former band as a major influence. Combining social consciousness and expertly crafted
lyrics with high-energy, melodically complex music, Queensryche with Geoff Tate at the forefront
became internationally recognized as the thinking man’s rock band. The band’s first three
albums — their self-titled EP (1983), The Warning (1984) and Rage for Order (1986) — all hit
gold status selling over 500,000 units each.
With the release of their landmark concept album Operation: Mindcrime (1988) — which won
critical and popular acclaim and comparisons to the Who’s Tommy and Pink Floyd’s The Wall —
Queensryche went on to bring their progressive music to sold-out audiences the world over.
Following the album’s platinum success, Queensryche released Empire, which quickly entered
the Top Ten on the Billboard charts, eventually generating sales of more than three million
copies. The album featured the hugely popular hit, “Silent Lucidity,” which would be the band’s
first Top Ten single (#9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock
Tracks chart). Geoff and the band would ultimately perform the Grammy nominated song live at
the Grammy awards accompanied by a supporting orchestra. In all, Queensryche has been
nominated for a Grammy four times and has had their music featured in three feature films
