Queensryche: Mindcrime at the Moore

Along with being one of the most thunderous metal bands of the past few decades, Queensryche is also one of the most theatrical, as this hugely entertaining Blyu-Ray shows. Using videos, live actors and the dramatic power of singer Geoff Tate, the band brings their two classic Mindcrime albums to life in front of a sell out crowd in their hometown of Seattle. Although their sound is definitely based in power, the intricate twin-guitar sounds of Michael Wilton and Mike Stone is also very melodic in the way it not only supports Tate’s lyrics, but adds emotional color to the themes he sings about. Hats off to the beautiful, and powerful, Pamela Moore for her performance as Sister Mary in the Mindcrime stories.
