Watch Queensrÿche's New "Man the Machine" Playthrough Video
Michael Wilton runs through 'The Verdict' highlight live at Guitar World HQ.
A couple weeks back, Queensrÿche's Michael Wilton stopped by Guitar World's New York City headquarters.
While he was around, he treated us to a guitar playthrough of "Man the Machine," a track from the band's new album, The Verdict. You can check it out above.
The Verdict was released on March 1 via Century Media Records.
"The Verdict is the most metal and the most progressive record we have made in a long time," Wilton said of the album at the time of its announcement. "I couldn't possibly be more excited for everyone to hear this."
