For four and a half decades, Queensr\u00ffche have been one of the defining forces of progressive metal. With milestone albums such as \u201cOperation: Mindcrime\u201d and \u201cEmpire\u201d, the band made music history and influenced generations of metal and prog musicians. Their sound combines technical sophistication, powerful melodies and complex song structures to create timeless anthems. On stage, Queensr\u00ffche continue to prove why they remain one of the finest bands the genre has ever produced. <\/strong><\/p>\n Queensr\u00ffche burst onto the music scene in 1982 with the release of their self-titled four-song EP. They quickly gained international recognition and performed to sold-out crowds around the world. With their debut album \u201cThe Warning\u201d in 1984 and the groundbreaking \u201cRage For Order\u201d in 1986, Queensr\u00ffche cemented their worldwide reputation as one of the most creative bands of the 1980s. In 1988, the band released another monumental album, \u201cOperation: Mindcrime\u201d, which became one of the ten best-selling concept albums of all time and laid the foundation for further sold-out concerts across the globe. The release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful album \u201cEmpire\u201d in 1991 earned the band several Grammy nominations and the MTV \u201cViewers Choice Award\u201d for the No. 1 hit \u201cSilent Lucidity\u201d. In the years that followed, Queensr\u00ffche continued to release albums and tour the world. To date, the band has sold more than 30 million albums and continues to push its creative boundaries. They built a loyal fanbase by touring the world alongside rock giants such as Iron Maiden, Guns N\u2019 Roses, Metallica, Judas Priest and Def Leppard. In recent years, Queensr\u00ffche have consistently delivered first-class live performances, combining the untamed energy of a young band with the experience gained from countless tours. Even after earning eleven gold and platinum awards and creating several Top 10 hard rock anthems that have become inseparably linked with the genre, Queensr\u00ffche show no signs of slowing down. In fact, the powerhouse line-up featuring vocalist Todd La Torre (since 2012) alongside founding members Michael Wilton (guitar) and Eddie Jackson (bass) is currently enjoying a creative renaissance. October 2022 saw the release of their 16th studio album, \u201cDigital Noise Alliance\u201d, another milestone in the career of the band from Bellevue, Washington. The next one is already on the horizon. Quality is guaranteed. Once again, Queensr\u00ffche deliver everything that has always defined them: dark melodies, remarkable diversity, memorable songwriting, profound lyrics, soaring choruses and outstanding musicianship. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CREATIVITY AND DEPTH For four and a half decades, Queensr\u00ffche have been one of the defining forces of progressive metal.…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37020,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[151],"product_tag":[161],"class_list":{"0":"post-37031","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-event","7":"product_tag-prog-metal","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"virtual","12":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/37031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=37031"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=37031"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=37031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
