Queensrÿche

Queensrÿche is a premier example of progressive metal. They have three platinum albums and two gold. Silent Lucidity was a hit single with numerous rock hits. While they emerged in the eighties they did not become popular until the nineties, strange since cynical metal had since replaced sophisticated metal by then. They are pioneers of the "heavy metal umlaut", making themselves look Nordic when they are in fact American. This also appears with Mötley Crüe and Motörhead.
