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. In July of 1995 Metal blade released this best of cd and it covers their first ten years as a band. Two of the songs are previously unreleased (At fate fingers and Circles), while four are from the John Arch era, and eight are with Ray Adler. Track listing: 1. Monument 2. The Apparition 3.
