Il sortira début juillet :

FATES WARNING – New studio album “Theories Of Flight” announced; Artwork unveiled!

U.S. Progressive Metal pioneers FATES WARNING have announced a worldwide release date of July 1st, 2016 for their much anticipated 12th studio album via InsideOutMusic.

FATES WARNING’s new album is entitled “Theories Of Flight” and comes packaged with unique artwork (which can be seen above!) created by Michigan artist Graceann Warn / http://www.graceannwarn.com

FATES WARNING guitarist and main composer Jim Matheos comments about the title and the artwork for the “Theories Of Flight” album as follows: “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.”

The tracklisting for “Theories Of Flight” reads as follows:

FATES WARNING – Theories Of Flight
1. From The Rooftops
2. Seven Stars
3. SOS
4. The Light And Shade Of Things
5. White Flag
6. Like Stars Our Eyes Have Seen
7. The Ghosts Of Home
8. Theories Of Flight

A limited 2CD version of the album (and also its 2LP) will include an acoustic bonus-disc with the following tracks:

Acoustic Bonustracks:
1. Firefly
2. Seven Stars
3. Another Perfect Day
4. Pray Your Gods (Toad The Wet Sprocket cover)
5. Adela (Joaquin Rodrigo)
6. Rain (Uriah Heep cover)

Performed by the core line-up that returned to form with 2013’s acclaimed “Darkness In A Different Light” release (Guitarist Jim Matheos, vocalist Ray Alder, bassist Joey Vera, and drummer Bobby Jarzombek), “Theories Of Flight” was produced by Jim Matheos and mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Symphony X, Haken, etc.).

More new on FATES WARNING and further details about the “Theories Of Flight” album will follow in the coming weeks…

Frank Aresti ne pourra pas les accompagner sur scène, il reste dans le groupe (enfin c'est pas hyper clair non plus) mais est remplacé pour les concerts par Mike Abdow :

U.S. progressive metal pioneers FATES WARNING will release their much-anticipated 12th studio album, "Theories Of Flight", on July 1 via InsideOut Music. The cover artwork for the CD was created by Michigan artist Graceann Warn.

Performed by the FATES WARNING lineup that returned to form with 2013's acclaimed "Darkness In A Different Light" release, "Theories Of Flight" was produced by guitarist Jim Matheos and mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (OPETH, SYMPHONY X).

Guitarist Frank Aresti contributed a couple solos on the new record, but due to his current work commitments, he will not be able to tour with FATES WARNING for the foreseeable future. FATES WARNING guitarist and main composer Jim Matheos states; "[Frank] remains part of the extended FATES WARNING family and the door is always open for him to return anytime his schedule permits."

Adds Frank: "I absolutely love 'Theories Of Flight', and I'm proud to be a part of it. I'll continue to do as much as I can, as often as I can, with the band. Meantime, they're in good hands with Mike Abdow, a great guitarist and a great guy. I wish them the best of luck, and look forward to sitting in on a song (or two)."

C'est clair que ça ne fait pas beaucoup.

Mais ça prouve que le groupe a encore une fanbase solide en terres germaniques.
