Fates Warning returns to Metal Blade ahead of US tour with Queensryche.
Metal Blade Records has signed Fates Warning to their worldwide roster. Starting out in the early ’80’s as a heavy metal band, they soon adopted a technically proficient style that made them one of the first true prog-metal bands. While the band has subsequently moved in more melodic and ambient directions, they have remained a vibrant and well-respected cornerstone of the prog/metal genre.
Fates Warning’s Ray Alder (vocals) comments:
“All of us in Fates Warning are happy to announce that we are back with Metal Blade Records. Metal Blade has been there for us since the very beginning and we are proud to call them part of our family. The journey begins again and we cannot begin to say how excited we are to work together once more. A big thank you to our fans for sticking with us through all these years. We could not be here today without all of you. That is a fact. Thank you everyone. Here’s to making some new memories!”
Next month, Fates Warning will head back out on the road with Queensryche, touring the USA in support of their latest release “Live Over Europe”. See below for all dates. After the conclusion of this trek, Fates Warning will begin work on their 13th studio album, set for a 2020 release via Metal Blade Records.
