Rod in Toronto Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I think a lot of people here might be fans of Fates Warning...Terry Brown produced a few of their albums in the mid-90's, and they're considered one of the forefathers of prog metal. Sadly, I think their recording career has ended, and if and when we hear of them again, it will be about touring. Here's an interview I did recently with their guitarist and main songwriter, Jim Matheos: https://www.sonicperspectives.com/interviews/interview-with-matheos-jim/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 bit too obscure for most of the TRF poser brigade, but they had some great records any fan of rush or iron maiden would be able to appreciate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malignant Narcissist Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Got one of their albums, No Exit, a long time ago and was not bad but a bit uneven if my recollection is correct. Have tried a few tracks on spoty-thingy and impressed enough to start listening to them in anger. NB:- on LP so haven't had a system setup for a while to listen to it. I think Mike Portnoy is mates with Jim Matheos (?) who is the main guy for FW right? So that gives it some prog cred but then again, MP is one of these guys who seems to know everyone in his corner of the music biz!

grep Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Love me some Fates Warning. Great band. Heavy prog goodness. I got to see them once, L'Amour Brooklyn back in the day. Fond memories. Edited October 5, 2022 by grep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I've been told by more than one person that if I love Dream Theater I would like Fates Warning, but aside from At Fates Hands/Fingers and one or two other songs, they do nothing for me. More a fan of Psychotic Waltz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Great freaking band. Saw them in 2019 with Queensryche. Great show. They really are fantastic players and have several excellent albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceaudity11 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Fates Warning are awesome! A Pleasant Shade of Gray is probably my favorite album they put out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
