In 2016, Fates Warning celebrated the 30th anniversary of their third, highly acclaimed, album Awaken The Guardian. The mastermind of the band, Jim Matheos, reunited that era's lineup, namely vocalist John Arch, bassist Joe DiBiase, drummer Steve Zimmerman and current guitarist Frank Aresti for two special festival appearances: Keep it True XIX in Lauda-Konigshofen, Germany and Prog Power USA XVII in Atlanta, GA. Fortunately for fans that were not able to attend, each show was filmed and recorded and Awaken The Guardian Live is set to be released on April 28th via Metal Blade.
John Arch comments about the experience: "It was truly a surreal experience being able to share the spirit of Awaken The Guardian at these shows. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fans that have given back so much over the 30 year span since the album's release. To all our family and friends, much gratitude."
Awaken The Guardian Live consists of both festival performances in their entirety and will be available on CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and double gatefold vinyl. Get a taste of the official trailer for the album and enjoy the song "Fata Morgana" played live at Keep It True XIX Festival in the videos below.
