A new audio interview with singer
Pamela Moore — best known for her performance as
Sister Mary on
QUEENSRŸCHE's 1988 epic concept album
"Operation: Mindcrime" and 2006's epic sequel
"Operation: Mindcrime II" — has been posted online at
Metal Monthly.
Pamela Moore's latest CD,
"Stories from a Blue Room", was helmed by
Grammy Award-winning producer
Neil Kernon and features 11 songs that were co-written by
Benjamin Anderson (ex-
RORSCHACH TEST). The recording and mixing took place at
Sonic Ranch Studios and
Robert Lang Studios with
Jason Kowalski (
N17,
ABIGAIL WILLIAMS) on drums,
Jeff Loomis (
NEVERMORE) on guitar,
Michael Wilton (
QUEENSRŸCHE,
SOULBENDER) and
Anderson,
Brian Gordon (
ION VEIN) on bass and even some backing vocals provided by
Terri Nunn (
BERLIN).
Despite her rise to stardom through her dramatic and captivating portrayal of
Sister Mary in
"Operation: Mindcrime",
Pamela Moore has also found fame in her own right, having released her own recordings, contributed her voice to various radio and television commercials, and has a background in theater.
Pamela was given the opportunity to record her first album with a now defunct Seattle-based record label
First American Records. Her first release, 1981's
"Take a Look", did very well regionally and was one of the stepping stones that led her down the path she finds herself now. A second LP,
"You Wont Find Me There", which was released in 1982, never had a chance to surface as the company folded just after its release.
Billboard magazine penned her as an AOR, blue-eyed soul artist, destined for success which was a far cry from what was to be her most memorable endeavor,
QUEENSRŸCHE.
After the immense success of the
"Operation: Mindcrime" world tour,
Pamela moved on to other endeavors such as recording songs with a band called
RADAR out of New York, living there for two years to work on her craft before returning home to Seattle.
RADAR released its debut album,
"RPM", in 2000. Other projects
Pamela has been involved with are include work with
Brian Johnson of
AC/DC, singing backup on a few selected concerts with
Paul Rodgers of
BAD COMPANY and
QUEEN, and cameo stage appearances with her cousin,
Terri Nunn of
BERLIN.
