Queensrÿche – Silent Lucidity

Queensrÿche self-released its eponymous EP in 1982, and it earned them a following outside of their home state of Washington, as well as a record deal with EMI Records, who reissued the EP the following year.

Queensrÿche’s popularity grew through the 1980s with their first three studio albums, The Warning (1984), Rage for Order (1986) and Operation: Mindcrime (1988), the latter of which is widely considered among the greatest heavy metal concept albums.

Their fourth album, Empire (1990), was also very successful and included one of the band’s biggest hits “Silent Lucidity”. That album, along with Operation: Mindcrime, cemented Queensrÿche’s status as one of the most successful American heavy metal bands.
