Operation: Mindcrime came out in 1988 and made every other rock concept album nervous. A dystopian murder mystery with riffs, it's the kind of record that rewired teenage brains and never quite let go.Queensrÿche were doing progressive metal with actual ideas before the genre had a Wikipedia page, and Mindcrime is the crown jewel, the one fans still argue about track by track. This embroidered skull patch is official merch for that album specifically, not just the band, which tells you something about how much weight it still carries in the progressive metal and dark alternative world. Sew it, iron it, put it somewhere it'll start a conversation.Official embroidered iron-on patch, approximately 105mm wide x 150mm tall. Made in the USA.Fans of: Dream Theater, Geoff Tate, Evergrey, Volbeat, Fates Warning
