Speaking about the album, singer Geoff Tate described the theme behind the album, which happens to be that there isn’t one:
"
What we tried to do on this record was really just tap into our creative side and to celebrate the creativity with having a varied record," he said. "
It's a collection of songs that is indicative of the band at this point in its career. We have a lot of variety in the music on this record … We wanted to explore the freedom of not having a theme or a concept to adhere to, but to really explore our creativity and see where we could take our music."
Explaining the album title, Tate said: "The title 'Dedicated To Chaos' is really a statement from the band. We're dedicated to creativity. Chaos is the place where creativity lives, it's the beginning, the origin of creativity, and we're dedicated to that, no matter what the cost. We define ourselves with each record and I think that's something that's very rare in today's world where everyone is very concerned about conforming to a stereotype to become a product in order to be sold. And I think that's one of the things that's kept Queensryche going all these years — that reluctance to conform to somebody else's idea of who we are supposed to be."
The album was released in North America on June 28th.
