COLOURED VINYL RE-ISSUE OF THE 12TH STUDIO ALBUM BY PROG-METAL FOREFATHERS FATES WARNING
Deluxe RED VINYL edition of this 2016 release, the twelfth studio album from American progressive metal veterans Fates Warning. They are one of the most successful US-based prog bands who have sold over a million albums worldwide. Right from the impressive first minutes of this album, Fates Warning proves itself to be one of those rare veteran bands capable of delivering new material as poignant and powerful as their many high points of the past. Fates Warning rose to international fame in the 1980s and was ranked as one of the early "flagship bands of progressive metal" along with QueensrĂżche and Dream Theater, who were responsible for creating, developing and popularizing that genre. -
Theories of Flight sets a whole new bar for these guys. Some complained that this was essentially just a retread of the previous album, Darkness in a Different Light, and to a certain degree, that is true. However, unlike that album, this one is just nonstop memorable, well-written material. I didn't hate Darkness in a Different Light but I find Theories of Flight to be a lot more memorable overall.
