{"product_id":"queensryche-the-warning-black-vinyl-lp","title":"Queensryche - The Warning [Black Vinyl LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eQueensrÿche moved beyond its debut EP with \u003cem\u003eThe Warning\u003c\/em\u003e, expanding its heavy metal foundation through longer arrangements, twin-guitar writing, Geoff Tate's high-register vocals, and a stronger progressive direction. Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton supply the guitar interplay, Eddie Jackson and Scott Rockenfield drive the rhythm section, and Michael Kamen contributes orchestral arrangements that broaden the band's metal core without softening its attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Warning\" opens with a forceful riff and urgent chorus, while \"Take Hold of the Flame\" builds around one of Geoff Tate's defining vocal performances and a prominent lead-guitar section. \"N M 156\" takes a mechanical, futuristic direction through repeated rhythmic figures, and \"Roads to Madness\" closes the album with a nearly ten-minute structure that moves through multiple sections. \"No Sanctuary\" adds a slower dramatic contrast, showing how far Queensrÿche had already stretched beyond conventional metal songwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyrically, \u003cem\u003eThe Warning\u003c\/em\u003e repeatedly turns toward technology, control, social collapse, and unchecked power, giving the album a darker conceptual thread without presenting a single continuous story. Produced by James Guthrie, the 1984 album established many of the progressive metal traits Queensrÿche would develop further. This black vinyl record edition comes with an insert with photos and lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandout tracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Take Hold of the Flame, Warning, Child Of Fire, No Sanctuary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressing details:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Vinyl, Insert with Lyrics, Poly-lined Inner Sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\/style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy Metal, Progressive Metal, Hard Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600574218896\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Take Hold of the Flame\" became one of Queensrÿche's signature early songs, while \"N M 156\" and \"Roads to Madness\" point toward the more elaborate writing that followed. \u003cem\u003eThe Warning\u003c\/em\u003e bridges the band's EP-era heavy metal and its later progressive work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2yzIrdrfcPWzT26dxVkRkF?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;si=ab859320718a4939\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* The Spotify track list may not exactly represent the tracks and audio of this LP edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTrack List:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSide A:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEn Force\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeliverance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo Sanctuary\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eN M 156\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSide B:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTake Hold Of The Flame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBefore The Storm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild Of Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad To Madness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Queensryche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52173241909569,"sku":"0600574218896","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0877\/7662\/4961\/files\/queensrche-the-warning-black-vinyl-album-cover-8896.jpg?v=1788616280","url":"https:\/\/www.toucanrecords.com\/products\/queensryche-the-warning-black-vinyl-lp","provider":"Toucan Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
