Break the silence, because the current iteration of Queensr\u00ffche is bringing its current run of shows to St. Petersburg this winter.<\/p>\n

Next year marks 40 years since the progressive-metal giant convened to record its sophomore album Rage For Order, which was thematically ahead of its time, with warnings about AI and how humanity would react to it.<\/p>\n

Only a few songs from the record are being dusted off on this retrospective \u201cVolume and Vengeance\u201d tour (featuring German metal pioneers Wolf Hoffmann and Accept opening), so regardless of how correct you feel to have shared former creative forces Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo\u2019s skeptics back in 1986, maybe delve deeper into the boys\u2019 discography before its annual gig in town.<\/p>\n

Tickets to see Queensryche play St. Pete\u2019s Jannus Live on Wednesday, Dec. 3 are still available and cost $57.96.<\/a><\/p>\n
