Album Description
Available in:
American Soldier is the tenth studio album by American progressive metal band Queensrÿche; it is a concept album released on March 31, 2009. The album debuted at #25 on the Billboard 200. As its title suggests, American Soldier revolves around the lives and experiences of those who serve or have served in the United States armed forces.
American Soldier is the band's 10th full-length studio album with original material and the songs lyrical content tells the story of war from a firsthand perspective. Jason Slater, the producer and joint songwriter of Queensrÿche's 2006 album Operation: Mindcrime II, produced American Soldier, and Kelly Gray (Queensrÿche guitarist and producer from 1998-2001) engineered. Singer Geoff Tate, guitarist Michael Wilton, bassist Ed Jackson, and drummer Scott Rockenfield recorded American Soldier in 2008 over the course of nine months.
The album includes a particularly personal duet between Geoff Tate and his daughter Emily. The song, entitled "Home Again," focuses on a father returning home to his family after having been gone an extended period. This theme reflects both the life of Tate as a touring musician and the life of one who serves in the military.
Tate spent a few years interviewing veterans from all conflicts America has been involved in from World War II to the Iraq War, including his own father and collecting their stories in order to help him write the album.
