Band: Fates Warning
Home Page:
Location:
Status:
Fates Warning are an old American power metal band who have gradually become more and more progressive. Many current prog metal bands cite them as a major influence. IMO, their first 4 CDs, and the latest 2 are excellent, while the others are rather ho-hum. For anyone into bands like Rush, Sanctuary, and Iron Maiden, you should all find something to like here.
Work has apparently been underway on a follow up to Fates Warning X for several years, but with Ray being unable to commit to the recordings, probably due to his full time duties with Redemption, Matheos has recruited ex-vocalist John Arch and formed a new band, Arch/Matheos, to record and release their new material, which should be out around September 2011.
