Metal Blade Records and Fates Warning reunited so to speak early last year. The band announced in February 2019, it had signed a new record deal with Metal Blade Records.
Most recently, the band was signed with InsideOut Music, which released the band’s most recent recordings, Theories of Flight (2016) and Live Over Europe (2018).
Front man Ray Alder addressed the reunion in an interview at the time.
“All of us in Fates Warning are happy to announce that we are back with Metal Blade Records,” Alder said. “Metal Blade has been there for us since the very beginning, and we are proud to call them part of our family. The journey begins again, and we cannot begin to say how excited we are to work together once more. A big thank to our fans for sticking with us through all these years. We could not be here today without all of you. That is a fact. Thank you, everyone. Here’s to making some new memories.”
Fates Warning was signed with Metal Blade Records from its inception, releasing albums through the label until 2013, when it released Darkness in a Different Light through InsideOut Music. Theories of Flight followed in 2016. The band’s 1998 live recording Still Life was also released via Metal Blade Records, as was the band’s 2017 live recording Awaken The Guardian Live.
