North American syndicated rock radio show and website InTheStudio: The Stories Behind History’s Greatest Rock Bands is celebrating the 35th anniversary of Queensrÿche’s Empire album.

Says host Redbeard: “Watching the February 1992 internationally-televised Grammy Awards, there was Queensrÿche performing the most unlikely Top Ten Billboard hit and Grammy-nominated Rock Song Of The Year, “Silent Lucidity”, live with a symphony orchestra conducted by the late Michael Kamen, telecast worldwide to hundreds of millions. I couldn’t help but note how far they had come – how far rock had come – to be recognized in such a prestigious mainstream way. It certainly hadn’t started out that way for the Seattle quintet.”

German merchandise company EMP is offering an exclusive etched coloured vinyl LP box set version of Queensrÿche's new album, Condition Hüman. Limited to 200 copies, it features blue vinyl (180g Vinyl/Etching on Side D), a 7" featuring two exclusive songs, the digipack CD versions including bonus tracks, a slipmat and poster.
