Fates Warning is a Metal band, formed in 1983 by John Arch, Jim Matheos, Victor Arduini, Joe DiBiase, And Steve Zimmerman in Connecticut, USA. The band directly contributed to the establishment of the Progressive Metal genre.
Their early works are considered by many as very important works defining the genre itself, while the middle-period works are considered as a progress in songwriting and musicianship as the band evolved, the recent works (since 1997) are in a heavy-progressive, a more mature style.
The first album, "Night on Br?¶cken", was released in 1984, on the Metal Blade label, featuring a strong Iron Maiden influence. "The Spectre Within" was released in 1985, which had a more progressive sound. In 1986, original guitarist Victor Arduini left the band and was replaced by Frank Aresti. The third album, "Awaken The Guardian" was released in that year, moving towards a more mythical atmosphere. Read more about ...
