October 18, 1994 ~ (30 Year Anniversary) Promised Land was released on EMI, produced by James Barton. Creatively it was a very introspective album in comparison to our previous album, EMPIRE. Little known fun fact ~ During recording breaks we’d often go to the ‘Friday Harbor Bar’ and would run in to many locals, one in particular I recall “lived in the trees and was married to a Llama…” @emirecords #emirecords #queensryche #queensrÿche #promisedlandalbum #seattle #fridayharbor #30yearanniversary
