Queensrÿche is an American progressive metal band formed in Bellevue, Washington, in 1982. The concept album Operation: Mindcrime established the group’s narrative approach, while Empire produced the songs “Silent Lucidity” and “Jet City Woman.” Queensrÿche supported Metallica on North American dates of the Damaged Justice tour in 1989. The subsequent Building Empires tour included complete performances of Operation: Mindcrime, documented on Operation: Livecrime. In 2006, the band performed both Mindcrime albums as a theatrical production at Seattle’s Moore Theatre, captured for Mindcrime at the Moore.

The band began on the Southern California club circuit and later toured throughout the United States.
