Fates Warning - Darkness in a Different Light (Inside Out Music)
After almost a decade of silence from one of the giants of progressive metal, Fates Warning return with their 11th Studio album. What has changed in terms of band dynamics? Frank Aresti is back with the band! Additionally, the drummer has changed, replacing Mark Zonder, who has rejoined Warlord, with Bobby Jarzombek of Riot fame. Despite this decade of semi-retirement and the above changes, the band picks up exactly where FWX left off, in terms of both music and lyrical themes.
Going a little more in-depth, first, there is a heavier orientation compared to their previous works, not only "FWX", exemplified by the introductory "One Thousand Fires". The guitars of Matheos / Aresti directly arouse the interest of the listener with Aresti giving new strength to the synthetic flair of Matheos. The famous lyricism of Fates Warning is again the ingredient that boosts the album, with clear examples in the "Lighthouse" and the amazing 14-minute "And Yet It Moves "which closes-up the album in a triumphant fashion. Overall, an album worthy of the name and ambition of the band members. "Darkness In A Different Light" signifies that Fates Warning have returned and sound impressive and ready for new music adventures.
