As a longtime Queensryche fan, when I was asked by the staff at Sonic Cathedral if I would like to conduct an interview with Pamela Moore, better known to Rychers as the voice of "Suite Sister Mary", I didn’t need to be asked twice whether or not I wanted to give the interview. For someone who has listened to this band since the tender age of 11 (and am now…many years older!), and have heard Pamela’s voice filter through my speakers more than once throughout the days of my life---especially more recently now as the main female character of the latest Queensryche album Operation Mindcrime: II---this was definitely a dream interview for me, and I couldn’t wait to get to work!

But, to be honest, I did not know a thing about Pamela’s musical repertoire outside of her contributions to the Mindcrime saga, so I was looking even more forward to learning the story behind this distinctive voice; how she became the voice of Sister Mary, and all that she has become beyond and because of this unique character that she first embodied nearly two decades ago.
