Le chanteur de Fates Warning sort un album solo, avec notamment le soliste actuel de ... Fates Warning bien sûr, on reste en famille.
L'extrait est classy, c'est plus simple que le groupe déjà cité 2 fois dans ce post.
FATES WARNING vocalist Ray Alder has inked a solo deal with InsideOut Music. His first solo album, "What The Water Wants", includes 10 melodic and versatile songs created with assistance from guitarists Mike Abdow (FATES WARNING touring member) and Tony Hernando (LORDS OF BLACK) as well as drummer Craig Anderson (IGNITE, CRESCENT SHIELD). The LP was mixed by Simone Mularoni (RHAPSODY, MICHAEL ROMEO, DGM) and will be released worldwide on October 18.

The first single from the record, "What The Water Wanted", can be heared below (lyric video by Cloud Music Typography).

Alder commented: "I am so happy to announce that I have signed a deal with InsideOut Music for my solo project and the debut album, 'What The Water Wants'.

"I want to thank InsideOut Music for giving me the opportunity to record and share this album with the world.

"For the last year, I have been writing with Mike Abdow, guitarist/bassist Tony Hernando and my longtime friend Craig Anderson on drums. The album was mixed by Simone Mularoni, who worked tirelessly with me to give this project the great sound we felt it deserved. I have had the ideas for a while but never had the time to actually sit down and write. But since FATES WARNING had taken a break from writing and touring, I finally had the chance to assemble the album. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did writing and recording it."

"What The Water Wants" track listing:

01. Lost
02. Crown Of Thorns
03. Some Days
04. Shine
05. Under Dark Skies
06. A Beautiful Lie
07. The Road
08. Wait
09. What The Water Wanted
10. The Killing Floor
11. The Road (acoustic version) (bonus track)

"What The Water Wants" will be made available as limited first-pressing digipak CD with a bonus track (an acoustic version of "The Road") and as an LP on 180-fram vinyl with the full album on CD as bonus.

Un chanteur unique. Un très très grand. En solo ou avec un groupe.

Un album sans grande prétention hormis mettre en valeur la voix d'Alder évidemment. Certains titres sont dans l'esprit de son précédent groupe "solo" Engine, comme "What the Water Wanted". D'autres auraient parfaitement pu atterrir sur un album de Fates Warning, comme "Shine", avec quelques arrangements en plus.
Très varié en tout cas, quelques belles plages par ci par là.

Yep c'est un album très sympa, je l'ai pas mal écouté à sa sortie, mais c'est vrai que tant qu'à faire je ressors plus volontiers un Redemption ou Fates Warning qui sont quand même plus riches musicalement. Y a quand même deux trois bons morceaux que je regrette de ne pas avoir trouvé sur un album de ces derniers.

La suite arrive, avec un chouette single tout en émotion.
Following the fantastic feedback for the first solo album by Fates Warning vocalist Ray Alder What The Water Wants back in 2019, InsideOutMusic has announced the upcoming worldwide release of the follow-up effort II on June 9, 2023.

Once again, just like for the What The Water Wants debut, the new album was written with guitarists Mike Abdow (Fates Warning touring member) and Tony Hernando (Lords Of Black) – who both also performed bass guitar on their own songs –, features drummer Craig Anderson (Ignite, Crescent Shield) and was mixed by Simone Mularoni (Rhapsody, Michael Romeo, DGM). Ray Alder’s second album is simply entitled II, but in musical terms this is a much more revealing, exploratory piece of work than its predecessor.

Ray Alder checked in with the following comment about II:

“When we wrote the first solo album I wanted to try some different musical styles. I didn’t want it to be really heavy, but more musical with catchy choruses. I think we did a pretty good job on that first one.

“But with this new album I wanted the music and lyrics to be darker and heavier. I think Mike did a fantastic job with the music. He listened to what I was saying and thinking musically. Tony knows that I like the big choruses and somewhat traditional sound. And of course Craig did an amazing job on the drums as usual. It's an honor to be able to work with them.

“This album is more of a reflection of what I heard going forward as a solo artist. Longer songs, deeper lyrics and really pushing myself vocally. I hope that whoever listens to it enjoys it as much as I did while working on it...”

With the album’s pre-order starting today, you can now check out the opening track “This Hollow Shell” in a lyric-video created by Cloud Music Typography.

Ray Alder added about “This Hollow Shell” as follows:

“‘This Hollow Shell’ is the first song to be released from my new solo album II. When I first heard this song I knew that it was going to be one of my favorites on the new album. It was dark and moody with tons of changes. It was like a huge blank canvas that I couldn’t wait to begin painting on. In the end it became one of the songs on the album that I am most proud of.”

II is available as limited first-pressing Digipak CD edition with a bonus track (An acoustic version of the opening track “This Hollow Shell”), as Digital Album (Also including the bonus track!) and as LP on 180gr. vinyl, both on unlimited black vinyl as well as on transparent red vinyl in a limited edition of 300x copies, available exclusively via the IOM webshop and from CM Distro. Preorder options available here.

Deuxième album assez transparent pour moi, plus sombre voire plus metal mais pas plus inspiré, au contraire. Le premier était bien au-dessus.
Hormis la première chanson postée vraiment engageante, et la toute dernière de l'album à la rigueur avec un peu plus d'ambition, pour le reste c'est un peu trop de la musique de fond sans rien de particulier, avec des titres creux qui s'enchainent sans grande émotion. Le chroniques sur le Net sont très positives mais j'avoue ne pas trop comprendre, le gars vaut mieux que ça.
