MIKE PORTNOY Weighs In On FATES WARNING's Awaken The Guardian 30th Anniversary Show At Keep it True 2016 - "My God, They Nailed It!" (Video)
On April 30th, legendary prog metal legends Fates Warning headlined the Keep It True Festival 2016 with special 30th anniversary performance of their Awaken The Guardian album. The band line-up for the show featured John Arch (vocals), Jim Matheos (guitar), Frank Aresti (guitar), Joe DiBiase (bass) and Steve Zimmerman (drums).
Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be seen below, and drum legend Mike Portnoy (The Winery Dogs, Dream Theater) has weighed in on the performance:
"My God! Fates Warning NAILED IT!! Sooooo happy to see this. I've been waiting for DECADES for them to reunite this line-up and play this music again! I have a soft spot for the Arch-era stuff as I absolutely love The Spectre Within and Awaken The Guardian (two of my all-time fans prog/metal albums of the '80s). I am also so proud of them as they are such dear old friends of mine. Congrats Jim, John, Frank, Bones and Steve! I just hope I can see one of these shows myself one day..."
Scheduled for release via Inside Out on July 1st, legendary prog metallers Fates Warning’s new album, Theories Of Flight, the long-awaited follow-up to 2013's Darkness In A Different Light.
Guitarist and main composer Jim Matheos comments about the title and the artwork for the album: "The working title for the album was The Ghosts Of Home and the song with that name was first called ‘Home Again’. When I started searching for artwork I came across the piece that's now the cover and it was called ‘Theories Of Flight’. In fact, the title you see on the cover is part of the original art, not something we added. There's a loose theme running through a lot of the lyrics, and this developed organically and separately, where Ray and I are often writing about various uprooting, escapes....flights. So I was immediately drawn to that phrase as being a better description of what some of the songs are about."
Theories Of Flight will be available in the standard version and a two disc, Mediabook edition, which will include a trio of unreleased originals, as well as three additional, never heard, cover tunes. A double-LP version will also be available. The bonus disc is entirely acoustic.
The tracklisting is as follows:

“From The Rooftops”

Где там, на первых трех дисках, находят прог-метал? По мне так это самый настоящий "hard'n'heavy".
А вот с "No Exit" там уже да, прог-металом можно обозвать.
