Queensrÿche – Queensrÿche (CD, 1993, EMI USA CDP-7-90615-2)

Why This CD Matters
Originally released in 1983, the Queensrÿche EP introduced the band’s theatrical progressive metal sound and helped establish them as one of the defining American metal acts of the decade. Tracks like “Queen Of The Reich” and “The Lady Wore Black” showcased Geoff Tate’s soaring vocals alongside the band’s technical guitar work and darker lyrical themes. The EP became a major influence on the development of progressive heavy metal throughout the 1980s and beyond.

Collector Note
