#Fates warning and yet it moves lyrics how to

The obligatory 14-minute epic “And Yet It Moves” may be a tad over-ambitious, and a few parts feel like they belong to separate songs, but the overall scope of it is still damn impressive.

“Kneel & Obey” does drag a bit, and “Lighthouse” goes nowhere, but they create a mood, whatever that’s worth.

#Fates warning and yet it moves lyrics how to

“Into The Black” is a textbook lesson on how to write a good progressive metal song. Traces of Tool, newer Dream Theater, and even Meshuggah crop up, proving that while these guys may have been away, they were still paying attention.Īside from those obvious winners, the deep cuts are damn good as well. “I Am” is another highlight, boasting some effective quiet-loud dynamics, prominent bass work from Vera, and a chorus that’s sure to get the blood pumping. “ Firefly” is the obvious single, straightforward and super-catchy, but it’s so well done that you can’t really fault the band for writing it. “ One Thousand Fires” makes the band’s intentions known right from the get-go, with an opening assault of tricky rhythms followed by Alder delivering the title with gusto.

Of course, founding guitarist/songwriter/main guy Jim Matheos is present as well. Guitarist Frank Aresti makes his first appearance on a Fates record since the early ’90s, and the rhythm section now includes Joey Vera on bass ( Armored Saint) and journeyman drummer Bobby Jarzombek. Arriving on the heels of 2011s Arch/Matheos project (a Fates Warning album in all but name), Darkness features most of the same lineup except with longtime vocalist Ray Alder back at the mic. Darkness In A Different Light is the first album in nearly a decade from prog legends Fates Warning.
