Queensrÿche first burst onto the music scene
in 1982 with the release of their self-titled 4
song EP "Queensrÿche". They very quickly
gained international recognition and performed
to sold out audiences around the world. With
the follow up first full length album "The
Warning" in 1984, and the ground breaking
1986 release of "Rage For Order",
Queensrÿche continued to prove their
worldwide dominance as one of the most re-
spected and creative bands of the 80's. In 1988
the band turned out yet another monumental
album"Operation:Mindcrime", which would go
on to become one of the TOP 10 best selling
concepts records of all time, and set the stage
for continued sold out performances around the
world. With the release of the critically
acclaimed and commercially successful
"Empire" in 1991, the band earned multiple
Grammy Award nominations and won the MTV
"viewers choice" award for the #1 chart topping
hit "Silent Lucidity". During the next ten years,
the band continued to release albums and tour
the world to sold out audiences. Queensrÿche
has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and
have continued to break new ground and push
their creative process.
