Queensrÿche – Empire (2017 2×LP Black Vinyl Reissue)

Description

Empire stands as one of Queensrÿche’s most iconic and commercially successful albums — a polished, melodic, and emotionally charged blend of progressive metal and arena‑ready hard rock. Originally released in 1990, the record showcases the band at their creative peak, delivering massive hooks, intricate arrangements, and some of the most memorable songs of their career.

This 2017 2×LP black‑vinyl reissue gives the album the spacious, high‑fidelity presentation it deserves. From the empowering opener “Best I Can” to the atmospheric storytelling of “Della Brown,” the chart‑dominating “Jet City Woman,” and the timeless ballad “Silent Lucidity,” the album remains a cornerstone of the genre. The closing track “Anybody Listening?” delivers one of the band’s most powerful finales.

A definitive progressive‑metal classic — melodic, cinematic, and endlessly replayable.
