Bellevue, Seattle WA, USA (1981 – nuvarande)

Queensrÿche (uttalas: kwi:nzrajk) är ett amerikanskt progressive metalband som bildades i Bellevue i delstaten Washington 1981. Bandets sångare Geoff Tate är känd för att ha en väldigt kraftfull och emotionell röst. Bandet har sålt över 20 miljoner album världen över.

1983 släpptes deras första EP, den självbetitlade Queensrÿche som satte bandet på kartan. De byggde vidare upp en stark och lojal fanskara med de efterföljande släppen The Warning och Rage For Order. 1988 släppte de konceptalbumet Operation: Mindcrime som hyllades i pressen och som retrospektivt sett är deras mest kända och uppskattade verk.

Med 1990 års album Empire fick bandet sitt massiva kommersiella genombrott, tack vare bl.a. singeln ”Silent Lucidity” och det tunga titelspåret. Den efterföljande turnén ”Building Empires” blev en stor succé där de spelade hela Operation: Mindcrime i en följd, något de inte haft möjlighet att göra innan på grund av begränsad speltid, samt valda låtar ifrån övriga plattor. Bandet tog sedan en längre paus, man bidrog dock med låten ”Real World” till filmen Den siste actionhjälten 1993. Man gjorde sedan comeback 1994 med det mörka albumet Promised Land och dess efterföljande turné med flertalet teatraliska inslag.

Efter den något splittrade Hear in the Now Frontier som kom 1997 hoppade DeGarmo av bandet och han ersattes då av Kelly Gray. Då Gray slutade efter releasen av liveplattan Live Evolution återkom DeGarmo och gjorde en kort sejour i bandet under inspelningen av Tribe 2003. Han lämnade dock bandet direkt efteråt och ersattes av Mike Stone.

    It's not, because not all musicians care about commercial success. "Commercial" is a useful verb because it points to a number of populist stylistic cliches and production choices. I don't see how someone can refute this without repeating the "hipster hipstirn hispter hipster" mantra.

    "Empire: commercial hard rock". Describing any kind of music with the word "commercial" is very redundant.

    I just love the eerie, mysterious soundscape of the debut album! I find it similarly haunting to, say, Keeper I by Helloween, Dreamspace by Stratovarius, Fire of Unknown Origin by BÖC, some Grave Digger albums, and nearly anything older from Mercyful Fate/King Diamond... I love when they get this certain darkness out of the speakers if it suits the themes of the album! That said, I don't know if any newer album has this darker sound to it. I bet it's all just impersonal loudness war now. :/

    Ultimately, album choices (old, new etc.) are only a matter of taste. Every album reflects the state of mind 'Ryche members had in each era. They never wanted to repeat themselves obviously.... E.g. - EP/The Warning=power metal gems. RFO = Sci-Fi prog, O:M = prog metal milestone, Empire : commercial hard rock, Promised Land : introverted melodic prog, HINTF = alternative rock, Q2K=hard rock..always progressing & changing. True, most 00's QR LP's lack a bit of character, but inspiration is hard to find in every release, especially for 50-yr+ old dudes. Give'em a break folks.. no one forces you to dig the new DtC, you can always ditch that and wait for a new LP :S :D

    V Clean and good sounds tend to make an album more generic in my opinion. See any metal album today. No personal soundscape anymore, everything's too clear, heavy, perfect, compressed. Riight... I'm not listening to Promised Land anytime soon though as I have so much to enjoy in their previous godlike works for the rest of my life!

    I prefer their earlier stuff and American Soldier over Promised Land but it's still great and far from their worst.

    Operation: Mindcrime is the(ir) best album ever. [2] I'll never even listen to post-Empire or Promised Land era albums. I hear some people who generally like "good music" :P really like Promised Land though... Maybe I should give it a listen some time, possibly when I get the urge to listen to 90s-2010s Scorpions ballads! :D

    I've listened to the first half of the disk (DtC) enough to say that I don't understand where all the criticism comes from, I like every single track till now.. For me it ins't a disappointment at all.

    cmon man you can't base anything on what last FM play or is.their so behind on some stuff or don't have enough money to get every CD on line and even if they do show it as a CD that don't mean they play it. I haven't heard all of Dedicated to Chaos but yeah Queensryche isn't the same band anymore. hell Last FM still doesn't have american solider by them on line.
