Since the band released its first EP in 1984, metal legends Queensrÿche have built a reputation on pushing the limit of the metal genre and expanding music in though-provoking ways. With songs like “Suite Sister Mary,” “Eyes of a Stranger,” “NM 156,” “Take Hold of the Flame,” “Anybody Listening” and “I Am I,” Queensrÿche has experiemented with orchestral elements, lyrics inspired by politics, religion and social injustice and state-of-the-art concert staging.

With its current lineup of Todd LaTorre on vocals, Michael Wilton on guitar, Eddie Jackson on bass, Mike Stone on guitar and Casey Grillo on drums, the band is coming off its 16th studio album “Digital Noise Alliance,” which pays homage to the Queensrÿche’s history with songs like “In Extremis,” “Behind the Walls” and “Tormentum.”
