Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Suite Sister Mary by Queensryche

Today's Metal Track is Suite Sister Mary off of Queensryche's 1988 concept album Operation: Mindcrime. This concept album follows Nikki, a heroin addict who has been brainwashed by a politician who goes by the name Dr. X. Whenever Dr. X says the word mindcrime, Nikki becomes a puppet and is made to carry out the commands of Dr. X, basically becoming an assassin.

Nikki befriends a prostitute-turn-nun, Sister Mary, and he begins to question the role he has taken with Dr. X. Seen as a threat, Dr. X asks Nikki to kill Sister Mary along with a corrupt priest. Nikki kills the priest but not Mary and goes back to tell Dr. X that he is out. When he goes back to get Mary, he finds her dead. He does not know if it was by his own hand or someone else's but the police find him with a gun and arrest him.
