PRESS RELEASE
Two decades after Queensryche released their self-titled 12-inch debut
EP, EMI Records is celebrating the band's career by reissuing the disc
and the six critically acclaimed albums that followed: \"The Warning\",
\"Rage For Order\", \"Operation: Mindcrime\", \"Empire\", \"Promised Land\"
and \"Hear In The Now Frontier\". Each of the seven Queensryche records
has been repackaged with bonus tracks, unreleased photos, memorabilia
and liner notes by lead vocalist Geoff Tate and Paul Suter (who wrote
the first demo review in Kerrang! magazine, which eventually was
responsible for getting the band signed).
The first phase of this highly-anticipated promotion begins with the
Apr. 8 re-release of \"Queensryche\", \"The Warning\", \"Rage For Order\"
and \"Operation: Mindcrime\", followed by the May 6 re-launch of
\"Empire\", \"Promised Land\" and \"Hear In The Now Frontier\". These albums
-- all of which have been certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum
by the RIAA -- cover the first 14 years of Queensryche's illustrious
