American-Italian melodic progressive metal project Sweet Oblivion, featuring erstwhile Queensrÿche vocalist Geoff Tate, issued their self-titled debut full-length studio album on June 14th, 2019 through Frontiers Music Srl.
Geoff Tate commented: “I was approached by Frontiers to do this record and am pleased I took this chance. It’s an album filled with fun and I believe a lot of the fans who dig the old Queensrÿche sound will enjoy this one!”
Simone Mularoni added: “I grew up listening to the 70s and 80s rock and metal bands and, of course, Queensrÿche’s classic albums are among my favourites ever. Having the opportunity and luck of working together with a musical giant like Geoff Tate has been a real blessing on both the human and the artistic side. I 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 Queensrÿche vibe… the performances are amazing!”
Mularoni handled production.
