Back in 2006, I had the pleasure of having dinner with Geoff Tate when he was still in Queensryche. Very generous with his time, he gave me a lot of insight into the music industry back then while I told him how much of an impact Operation Mindcrime had on me.

Years later, I crafted a story with this album as my primary soundtrack. One that has nothing to do with Operation Mindcrime other than musical reference, but it was my verve, my marching rhythm and I can’t wait to share my novel, “Revolution Calling” with you later this year.
