Shortly after their triumphant appearance at Keep It True Festival 2016 with their original ’80s line-up, Fates Warning returns with their twelfth album. Already since its predecessor, Frank Aresti is back on guitar, and even more than on Darkness In A Different Light the band returns to an older sound (that had left with Aresti in 1996). Theories Of Flight requires a few spins before the opulent melodies and complex arrangements really sink in, but once they do it becomes evident that Fates Warning has arguably delivered the best Metal album of 2016 so far with long, epic songs like ‘The Light And Shade Of Things” paired with hymns like the enchanting “Seven Stars”. Be sure not to miss this one!

Songs from this new release will be featured at 6:00/18:00 CET & Midnight/Noon EST on the day indicated. All featured DAILY ALBUM PREMIERES will have a short review posted the day it’s on the show!

The FRIDAY edition of the Daily Album Premiere show contains 3 tracks from each of the Daily Premiere Albums featured during the week. Be sure to tune in here!

Frank is a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio, based out of Bavaria, Germany. He works in the games industry for over 30 years. Frank got hooked on Metal at the age of 14 when a friend introduced him to AC/DC and that was in 1981. Since then he listens to a variety of musical styles, including Prog and Songwriter-stuff, but mainly Metal of almost all types with one exception: He does not understand and has no clue about Black Metal. So dragons are fine, all kinds of monsters are, cats, too, of course, just no Pandas. Sorry.
