With over four decades of career, Queensrÿche have not only been part of metal history—they have written it in capital letters. From their self-titled 1982 EP to the present day, the band from Bellevue, Washington, has shaped the course of multiple genres, becoming pioneers of progressive metal and leaving an indelible mark on generations of musicians and fans.
Albums like ‘The Warning’ (1984), ‘Rage for Order’ (1986), and especially ‘Operation: Mindcrime’ (1988) and ‘Empire’ (1990) placed them at the very top of the international scene, thanks to their ability to combine the power of heavy metal with the sophistication of progressive structures and conceptual intensity. Their unique, technical, and emotive style earned them both critical acclaim and the devotion of a loyal worldwide fanbase.
Far from resting on nostalgia, Queensrÿche remain creatively vibrant. Their sixteenth studio album, ‘Digital Noise Alliance’ (2022), produced by Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed), confirms that the band’s artistic ambition is still intact. With sharp riffs, memorable melodies, and Todd La Torre’s unmistakable voice at the forefront, the album is a testament to how their legacy continues to evolve without losing its essence.
Queensrÿche will arrive at Parque El Batel, delivering a set that combines timeless anthems with their most current material, reminding us why they remain, quite simply, an unstoppable force.
