Rejoice in the Suffering
album by Todd La Torre
Rejoice in the Suffering is the debut solo album by Queensrÿche vocalist Todd La Torre, released on February 5, 2021, through Rat Pak Records.
Recording
In 2017, La Torre announced that he was working on his first solo album with his friend Craig Blackwell as co-songwriter, while simultaneously recording his third album with Queensrÿche, The Verdict. As global touring came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, La Torre used his downtime from Queensrÿche to put the finishing touches on Rejoice in The Suffering. As was the case on Queensrÿche's The Verdict, La Torre also played drums; Blackwell played guitar, bass, and keyboards. La Torre and Blackwell self-produced the album, however, they called on Queensrÿche producer Zeuss to oversee mixing and mastering. The album also features guest appearances from Jordan Ziff, who plays the second half of the guitar solo on the title track “Rejoice in the Suffering”, and Al Nunn who plays keyboard on “One by One”.
