American-based Progressive Metal veterans Fates Warning have released their 11^th studio album entitled Darkness In A Different Light… their first in 9 years. There’s lots of history still in this band, with Ray Alder on vocals, Frank Aresti and Jim Matheos on guitars, Joey Vera handling bass duties, and Bobby Jarzombek (also works with the Halford band) on drums. Darkness In A Different Light sounds very “polished” and smooth, if you will… sort of a blend between Melodic Rock and Progressive Metal. Although an enjoyable listen, the main drawback is an over emphasis on lyrical vs. musical passages.

Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
