In light of the release of their much anticipated 12th studio album, Theories Of Flight via InsideOutMusic on July 1st, 2016, U.S. progressive metal pioneers Fates Warning are now launching an album sampler video, containing excerpts from all songs on the album. Scroll down to watch/listen.
Fates Warning’s vocalist Ray Alder (who also features on Six Feet Under’s Graveyard Classics IV – out today) checked in to comment:
We began writing the music for Theories while we were still touring for Darkness. I believe that the anticipation to write another record was due to the fact that we were once again touring and playing new material after nine years of playing the same songs.
It was exciting to be on stage again and we looked forward to getting back in the studio. I also believe that our fans were happy to finally having something new to listen to.
I/we are very happy with the way that Theories turned out. Jim and I collaborated practically every day on the new album for over a year until we actually went into the studio. There were many different versions of the songs until they were finally complete, and I believe it shows in the final product. I think that Jim did an excellent job producing the new album. The material is, I believe heavier than what people are used to from us, as well as my vocal style. We wanted something different than Darkness but something that still carried a lot of melody.
