Description

Fates Warning has weathered nearly two decades of shifting musical trends with a steadfast fan base. Operating for many years below the trend radar, the group has nonetheless resolutely generated a commendable and ever strengthening catalogue of work, which finally broke into widespread recognition. The Hartford, Connecticut band was initially titled Misfit in their original formation in 1982 but changed their name the year after. A couple of demos in 1984 enabled the band to include a track on the 'Metal Massacre V' compilation album and the resulting appreciation resulting in a long term deal with Metal Blade records. The third album 'Awaken The Guardian' released in November 1987 broke into the American top 200 Billboard chart. Track listing: 1. The Sorceress 2. Valley Of The Dolls 3. Fata Morgana 4. Guardian 5. Prelude To Ruin 6. Giant's Lore 7. Time Long Past 8. Exodus
