QUEENSRŸCHE release lyric video for “Bent”
Kick Off European Summer Tour
Before finally kicking off their European summer tour tonight in Berlin (GER), rock icons Queensrÿche are presenting a lyric video for the song “Bent”, off of their latest record ‘The Verdict’.
Todd La Torre comments: “Bent is a lyrical conglomerate of social injustices and societal struggles infused with progressive musicality. Snippets of thought provoking subject matter take you on a journey of uptempo hard rock/metal riffs with melancholic melodies and atmospheres.”
