Dedicated to Chaos is the twelfth studio album by American heavy metal band Queensrÿche. The album was released first in Japan on June 21, 2011, and a week later in the United States on June 28, 2011, and is the band's first album for Roadrunner Records' Loud & Proud label. It is also their final album to feature longtime lead vocalist Geoff Tate before he was fired from Queensrÿche in 2012.
Like the 2009 release American Soldier, Dedicated to Chaos was recorded by Queensrÿche as a quartet; Parker Lundgren, who was a guest guitarist in this album, subsequently became a permanent member of the band. The album debuted at No. 70 on the Billboard 200. The band's previous album, American Soldier, peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard 200.
