U.S. Progressive Metal pioneers FATES WARNING have finally returned with their first studio album release in about a decade! Entitled “Darkness In A Different Light”, the album will be released on September 30th, 2013 in Europe and October 1st, 2013 in North America via InsideOutMusic.
“Darkness In A Different Light” is FATES WARNING’s first album of new material since the release of “FWX” in 2004 and also marks the first release for the band’s stellar current line-up of Ray Alder (vocals), Jim Matheos and Frank Aresti (guitars), Joey Vera (bass) and Bobby Jarzombek (drums).
The album was produced by Matheos and mixed by long time FATES WARNING engineer Phil Magnotti, while mastering was handled by Maor Appelbaum at Maor Appelbaum Mastering, California.
The (above pictured) artwork for the album was designed by Conte di San Pietro.
FATES WARNING vocalist Ray Alder checked in with a comment as follows:
"Darkness in a Different Light" is the result of almost two years of very hard work from everyone in the band.
I believe that this line-up is the best that Fates has ever had, and I also think that it comes through in the music on this album. It's been almost nine years since our last studio album and I couldn't be more proud of what we've accomplished here.
We are looking very much forward to playing some new songs for our fans who have stuck by us over all these years. We plan on touring as much as possible for "Darkness in a Different Light" and hopefully we'll hit a few places we've never been...
Indeed, FATES WARNING already have headlining touring runs confirmed for October in Europe and November/December in North America, with further live activity to follow in 2014.

Here’s the first review: wpapu.com/rev073.html
First Single – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReoQw9ua9_Y
It’s leaked. I have it on right now. It’s only a 192 though. The real disc is in a few days and will certainly sound a lot better than this does. Well, it’s better than FW:X, but it’s just ok. Arch/Matheos had more interesting music, and I was kind of hoping for that with Ray. A lot of bland, boring spots though. Oh well.
im looking for this and have been waiting for it. I can’t find where to get it yet tho L
Where did you get it?
it was on soulseek the other night
I’m not seeing it anywhere. Hoped to hear it before my 2 CD and vinyl arrive.
Found it.
where at?
I found it too :-)
Bobby Jarzombek is a great drummer and does a stellar job here, but Mark Zonder’s creativity and technical prowess is sorely missed.
