Classic Cover: Kurt Deimer ft. Geoff Tate – “Silent Lucidity” (original by Queensrÿche)

Rising rock musician, actor, songwriter, and film producer Kurt Deimer has released his reinvention of “Silent Lucidity”, featuring Queensrÿche legend Geoff Tate. The track marks the latest single from Deimer’s sophomore full-length album, A Grog Is Born, which is out now. This gorgeous take on the 1990 power ballad also arrives with a powerful music video highlighting the growing suicide epidemic with a call to action for all those who need help.

The new album was produced by five-time Grammy-winning producer Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Breaking Benjamin). The 12-track collection includes the thunderous Top 40 Active Rock radio single “In Deep” featuring Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd, the recent country-rock track “Always There”, and the single “Scared To Death”. The latter is the featured track in Deimer’s new high-voltage horror-comedy of the same name, in which he stars as the scene-stealing character, The Grog. The Scared To Death film—starring Lin Shaye and Bill Moseley and written and directed by Paul Boyd—was released in theatres earlier this year and is now available on demand across major digital platforms.

The forthcoming record serves as the cinematic follow-up to Deimer’s 2025 debut full-length album, And So It Begins…, which was co-written with Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X. This new material finds Deimer taking a major leap as a vocalist and bandleader, stretching his instrument beyond distinctively low speak-singing into a more robust melodic style. This more confident delivery, elevated by years on the road, allowed him to explore an even more impressive range of styles, touching on everything from bruising hard rock to epic balladry.
