Queen Of The Reich
"Queen of the Reich" is a heavy metal song first recorded in 1981 for a demo tape by "The Mob", later known as Queensrÿche. "Queen of the Reich" was first recorded on ''Queensrÿche'' (a.k.a. ''Queensrÿche EP'') along with "The Lady Wore Black", "Nightrider", and "Blinded". This song was also the basis for the band's new name. The spelling was altered from "Queensreich" to avoid connotations with Nazi Germany. Chris Collins, the first vocalist of the progressive metal band Dream Theater, covered this song for his audition for the band. The British band Shadowkeep covered this song on the compilation album ''Rebellion – A Tribute to Queensrÿche'', released on Dwell Records in 2000.
