Queensrÿche will release their new record Digital Noise Alliance on October 7 and is now streaming the debut single "In Extremis." Despite its powerful runtime and generally upbeat proggy nature, Queensrÿche states the song is actually about being on your deathbed and receiving your final communications. So not exactly the feel-good hit of the summer, but still a very solid track.
"This song is about being on your deathbed surrounded by your loved ones," said the band. "Clinging to the last sense available, letting them know you will still be hearing them after correspondence or perceived consciousness is visible. Other conceptual metaphors flash in and out, taking note of a world that will not bend to accommodate such suffering, a universe of mockery, and a universe void of such abilities."
