Queensr\u00ffche<\/a>, one of the leaders of progressive heavy metal, first launched onto the scene with their debut album, 1984\u2019s The Warning. The Bellevue, Washington-born band followed up with 1986\u2019s Rage For Order. Both landmark albums are receiving vinyl reissues, which are now available for purchase. The new editions will both be released on standard 1LP black vinyl.<\/p>\n

The Warning captures Queensr\u00ffche in their early stages as they honed in on a darker, more traditional heavy metal sound before they began experimenting on later records. Lyrically, the band sang about classic themes of the genre at the time: mysticism and the occult. The album featured two singles, \u201cWarning\u201d and \u201cTake Hold of the Flame.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rage For Order, the band\u2019s sophomore LP that\u2019s also celebrating its 40th anniversary this month, marked a clear sonic shift. The record leans into a futuristic, almost industrial feel that also mixes in glam metal. It further defined Queensr\u00ffche\u2019s signature sound as the band emphasized the use of keyboards and digital effects such as the reverse echo. The album explored social, political, and technological themes, and highlighted the dangers of artificial intelligence and government intrusion. Rage For Order features three singles: \u201cGonna Get Close to You,\u201d \u201cThe Whisper,\u201d and \u201cWalk in the Shadows.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Queensr\u00ffche went on to release 14 more albums, with their latest offering, Digital Noise Alliance, released in 2022. The band remains as active as ever and is currently working on their 17th LP. \u201cThere\u2019s a ton of songs that I have to write lyrics and melodies for, which I\u2019ve been doing some of that at home, tracking ideas, showing the guys some stuff,\u201d singer Todd La Torre said of the recording process in April. \u201cSo we\u2019ve got songs in demo forms. Really good stuff, really exciting stuff that I\u2019m looking forward to digging in when we get home.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The heavy metal giants are currently on the road for their European summer tour. Performing alongside special guests, death metal band Rivers of Nihil, the tour is a mix of venue sets and festival appearances. The trek began in K\u00f6ln, Germany, on June 12 and wraps on July 5 at Spain\u2019s Rock Imperium Festival.\n<\/p>\n
