FATES WARNING - From The Rooftops (Lyric Video)

[@MrGorillaPope]

This is so good. We're lucky to be fans of this band.

[@BooMMusicPlay]

Yes yes yes! YES!!!

[@markeinsportnoy]

So Agreed

[@konwin97]

Fates Warning is an absolutely deep band!! Their music can trigger dreams and past memories that give me goosebumps everytime. Totally amazing!

[@Eccentrics]

Fates Warning never disappoint. They truly are pioneers of the Progressive metal genre.

[@MarceloYakko]

Each fates album is a new emotion for me, I congratulate my friends! especially Ray, the singing excellent!

[@webbertools]

I agree......back when No Exit came out, I lost my dad and my emotions revolved around that album.

[@SanityAssassin]

same here, so entwined in memories

[@itkojecockot]

+webbertools yeah pretty much...... "The Ivory Gate of Dreams" song still haunts me...... probably one of the finest tracks ever made

[@88omair]

This is what you would classify as a great comeback after a lengthy hiatus. First Darkness, and now Theories is looking to be a strong follow up. The production and engineering on this is fantastic. Sounds crisp. And Jarzombek has been unleashed. Watch out. Fates Warning is by far the most consistent prog metal band.

[@dianag2477]

production is fabulous

[@88omair]

I was disappointed with Darkness' production since it was dull compared to FWX, Sympathetic Resonance and the OSI albums. But Matheos has reached back to the level I expected here. I just wish the bass guitar was a little more crisp, and the bass drum more powerful, but great sound otherwise

[@ftldelay]

YES!! It sounds fantastic and Jarzombek really blew me away on this track. I'm a big fan of Mark Zonder's FW work, but can't complain about this at all!

[@bubu10435]

Yep, Matheos is amazing on this album. I was not a big fan of the FWX material as I found them quite brief and rather catchy in parts. But I think with 'Darkness...' they rediscovered their roots back to the classic era where they had this twin guitar attack running. It was something out of the blue, being after a gap of almost nine years.

[@88omair]

bubu langaddicted I actually really like FWX because it's experimental and different. Darkness is also really good, but I was hoping Jim would change things up this record. In one interview he said it's in a similar vain to Darkness, but better. So it should be good. New POS, Evergrey albums also being released this year. Going to be a great year

[@mamlasu]

As a mathematician, I really do appreciate this video. I've heard about Fates Warning, but this makes me check more of their music out.

[@88omair]

You have lots of great albums to explore. I'd suggest Perfect Symmetry as a start

[@tajniakpospolity350]

As a mathematician I dare to recommend you to get acquainted with A Pleasant Shade Of Grey album.

[@tenzin682]

I suggest all of them!! But....I might be a tad-bit partial..Since they're my favorite band.

[@88omair]

It wouldn't be a Fates Warning video without a Patrick Puffer comment :D

[@archangelmist8470]

..This song is epic in orgasmic proportions..

[@scottg9325]

I would agree

[@MartinAlvito1]

It's pretty much everything that was ever good about Fate's.

[@PositiveWordsDictionary]

Monument of Eargasm /,,/

[@prgmtlman7533]

And still is

[@gabratte9858]

Man that drummer. Pure talent and consistency. I also enjoy how the sound engineer kept some life in his sound even if he gets so damn technical. Awesome song!

[@88omair]

Jarzombek is one of the best drummers around. Technically maniacal, but more importantly incredibly creative. And completely agreed regarding the engineering. With the slight exception of the bass drum, the drums sound exceptional. Engineering overall is brilliant

[@dariosofronisco6767]

Zonder beats this new drummer 1000000 - 1

[@gabratte9858]

+Dario Sofronisco No, absolutely not. While zonder was quite creative and innovative for his time, Bobby is, simply put, a machine. The guy writes litterally everything he does and learns it. His shit is so intricate I doubt anybody could recreate this, even with sheet music. He does so much fast, on the side stuff it's basically incredible. Sure, Mark has his signature, vintage metal feel, but when it comes to skill, Bobby is superior. Hell, even the Fates Warning Crew commented in certain interviews they find it hard to believe how good he is...

[@brandoncoutu430]

I'm going to be honest now that Neil pert has retired Mike Portnoy is in my opinion the most talented drummer but he comes pretty close.

[@88omair]

Brandon Coutu Portnoy is great, but is starting to feel linear compared to his DT heyday. Jarzombek still gives memorable and creative performances

[@greekfreak1980]

These guys are still producing quality stuff after all these years.

[@88omair]

Most consistent prog metal band

[@TheBadThad]

They just keep getting better! FW rocks!

[@drstupid4366]

100 years from now when people look back at music from the past ..........Fates Warning will still be what amazes them .

[@Shelby8371]

This band never lets me down. This song eats the new Dream Theater disc to pieces. Jim is on fire and his tone is to die for , as always. You can tell they really put their heart and soul into this album. Ray's voice and Jim's riffs are next to perfect. They are and still are the best prog band living.

[@TheMarkymarcio]

I agree my friend! Greetings from Brazil!!

[@88omair]

"This song eats the new Dream Theater disc to pieces." Completely agree. DT has sadly become dull and so generic over the last decade. Glad that FW hasn't lost it's spark, and is still releasing music with passion

[@mariorosafatestheater9983]

+José Marcio o Fates é minha banda favorita por vários motivos, intensidade bom gosto e musicalidade ímpares. bom ver fãs brasileiros se manifestando.

[@TheMarkymarcio]

Sim, meu camarada, apesar de imaginar que não devem ser muitos, mas no nosso país com certeza tem pessoas agraciadas como nós que conhecem e curtem essa banda maravilhosa, o que é para poucos, pra mim, desde que ouvi o Fates pela primeira vez, em 1988, virei fã incondicional, são a melhor banda do mundo pra mim!!! Faz tempo que acompanha eles? Valeu e grande abraço!!!

[@mariorosafatestheater9983]

+José Marcio sim desde 1990 os conheci através da Silent Cries e fiquei muito impressionado o vocal em particular, já era fã do Queensryche mas qdo conheci o Fates se tornou minha banda favorita.

[@cabalofdemons]

Awesome stuff. The old school bands still got it and showing these younger bands how it's done.

[@dio52]

let's be honest, fates warning is the exception, not the rule. most of the older bands would have been phoning it in for at least a decade at this point, while FW ages like a fine wine.

[@tenzin682]

Very true dio52, they just keep coming up with new ways to knock me on my ass, just the best band in the world. I've been a huge fan since Perfect Symmetry. In fact at one point(every point) my original band was called Perfect Symmetry. I make no excuses, Ray was and is my biggest influence. And then, I find out about six months ago that he's only a year older than I am, AND WE SHARE OUR BIRTHDAY!! I sound like a stalker.

[@Gizmoinferno]

This stuff is magnificent...loads of Trademark late 1980's plus some modern grit and the real diversity that underpinned the best FW classics! Hats off, Guys!

[@88omair]

"plus some modern grit" Damn I'd say this is FW showing modern metal bands how it's done. Great production and mature songwriting, as you'd expect from FW.

[@Gizmoinferno]

Modern grit was referring to the way the mix was done. But otherwise, it's they are pushing their signature again to the heights we were used to. :)

[@motleycrue24]

I love that lyric "nothing last forever expect thee unknown"

[@TheMarkymarcio]

OH my GOD!!! The perfection is here, in the sounds of Fates Warning!!! I Cried!!!

[@scottg9325]

only a great song or band can do that. awesome

[@TheMarkymarcio]

I agree, man, great band, my favourite!!! greetings from Brazil, yes!!!

[@scottg9325]

Your 3rd person who greeted me from Brazil José this month. See what music can do, cheers José. U.S.

[@TheMarkymarcio]

Yeah brother! The music is life, bring feelings many stronger. Music break the chains and do stronger. I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil! Fates Warning is better band of the world for me, since 1988.

[@georgehideous]

@@TheMarkymarcio another Brazilian fan here, from Fortaleza. I was born in 1994 but love for Fates comes since my pre-teen years.

[@mariorosafatestheater9983]

Incridible how Ray's voice can touch us each time we heard, the patamar of coming album is fantastic, more rich production as progression compositions ever.

[@tenzin682]

Just a seamless transition from a flowing melodic entrance to a heavy, melodic section. The masters are back!!! Ray and Jim are geniuses whether they realize it or not.. Thanks again for 28 yrs. {for me} of enjoyment and inspiration....

[@88omair]

Jim is a consistently fantastic songwriter in whatever project he undertakes. And Ray is one of my favourite vocalists, so much character and emotion in his vocals. I can't get over how stunning the bridge is on this song. It's literally perfect.

[@elgeneralrasty2501]

One of my favorite bands ever... They always amaze me!!! Cheers from Greece, I know you will come!

[@Scorpiuszeroone]

Welcome back Fates, I missed ye! Outstanding, simply brilliant.

[@PricePlow]

Wow, well done guys!!! Transition at around 2:08 is *epic*. Easily in the running for best song of 2016.

[@dianag2477]

but u know transition is going to hit & hit hard, its other transition funky groove than frank ripping. ray sounds great

[@assafmetal]

This is art!!!

[@TheMarkymarcio]

I agree!!!

[@luizneto1742]

Yeah, fates warning is majestic! Greetings from Brazilian fans!

[@mariorosafatestheater9983]

+Luiz Neto bom ter fãs do Fates. infelizmente parece que só existe DT

[@frizonsaxon]

Também sou fã da banda! Pena esse álbum não sair no Brasil, assim como o anterior.

[@ketzakov3291]

Opa, noix aqui!

[@jamesanselmo6549]

Puta banda! aqui fala mais um fã brasileiro.

[@smokemetal]

Fantástica!!!!

[@KurtStoffer]

Absolute Masterpiece, best album of 2016 and one of the best Fates albums ever.

[@MrHelstar]

Best Metal album of 2016

[@scottquick4429]

How can you not like this band??

[@MrDeppness]

Powerful. One of the few great bands left in the world. This is savage!

[@Mary-Pap]

See what there is to see The view from the rooftops is the same It seems there's no end And the lights below burn cold Thoughts of the past recede They fade into history, and now the rain begins Somehow everything seems right Colors flood into the night And eyes open then There's no room for trying Forget what was known There's no use in hiding From shadows unknown No wall's ever lasted Not brick, steel or stone No thing lasts forever Except the unknown There's nothing that time can't end How long can darkness live in the empty spaces Until lights collapse and time misplaces (All good things will have their end How long till this time is over then) How long till stars have faded and leave their traces Before we collapse and time erases (All good things will have their end How long till this time is over then) There's nothing that time can't end There's no room for trying Forget what was known There's no use in hiding From shadows unknown There's nothing that time can't end

[@anthonytabura6346]

In the pocket, on this Album.. Very very nice once again Ray and the mighty Fates Warning!!!!

[@tenzin682]

Listening to this song again, Ray's vocals during the chorus are some of the best he's ever done!!! One of the best songs they've ever done...Tour please!!!

[@MrOgroberto]

Tremendo descubrimiento. Brutal la banda. !!!

[@barbaracastilleja1714]

Having a cold bud jammin to Fates Warning i pray for all during this time of the Covid 19 WE Will Get THROUGH THIS !

[@georgehideous]

we're all in this together, hope things will come out just as right as possible.

[@pervotheclown2199]

Everybody go out and buy this album and put Fates Warning on the map . I've got all their albums on cd and they're worth every penny. Metallica black album, ACDC back in black both outsold this album last week . For the love of Matheos go buy the " new" album. It's embarrassing how good fates warning is and they still can't break the billboard album charts. Everyone go buy the new cd or digital download.

[@88omair]

It's very unfortunate that they're obscure in the genre they pioneered ffs. Unfortunately they don't fit into any particular box in metal that is in the limelight currently, because mature and intelligent metal is difficult to come by, so it's tough for them to get the recognition they deserve.

[@pervotheclown2199]

Omair Sheikh Yes unfortunately Fates Warning is to heavy for prog and to prog for metal

[@paulc4932]

Actually I disagree. As a long time prog fan who only got into metal later on, and then abandoned them both for a while, I have gotten back into prog in the past several years and find that we are in a time where prog metal seems to have probably found its best following ever, and most of the really interesting prog rock out there nowadays is actually prog metal. So here's hoping that this means a Fates Warning revival will continue strong for many more albums and many more tours!

[@adam872]

That was great, just what I've come to expect from Fates. Love this band.

[@georgegkikas9878]

Best Prog song/singing of the last 5 years, easily!! Stopped having great expectations from FW long time now but really, what a majestic come-back!!!

[@billcapuzzo1521]

Great sound. Much more reminiscent to Perfect Symmetry/Parallels. Ray hasn't sounded this good in years. Musically, jaw dropping. Looking forward to this disc big time. Great harmonies. This is what they do best.

[@mariorosafatestheater9983]

Bom ver fãs brasileiros, o Fates sempre foi uma banda injustiçada e eles nunca perderam o feeling tão pouco a maestria das composições,finalmente uma produção digna do patamar de um ícone que deve ser respeitado,até agora as críticas tem tecido elogios à esse novo álbum e nos dá um alívio pois infelizmente sempre temo pelo futuro deles, enfim realmente parece ser um álbum no nível de APSOG, perfect symmetry e parallels e com um senso de superioridade crescente, o casamento do Ray conseguiu fazer ele superar problemas vocais e sua bela voz parece renovada, Jim Matheos é incontestavelmente um gênio pois sabe como poucos aliar feeling, técnica e extremo bom gosto nas composições,ele mostra que não precisa de muito pra mostrar a que veio, incrível como nenhum álbum do Fates é previsível mesmo entre altos e baixos é uma banda que se mantém fiel aos fãs e à musicalidade acima de tudo.

[@erikdepee]

Insanely great song.

[@chadcassidy2412]

I think after No Exit, Symmetry and Parallels, this might be my next favorite Fates album!!

[@sindybernal5212]

OMG!! Excellent..Fates at its best..

[@30fyllostop36]

Amazing song from an awesome album!!!

[@andrewg.1377]

They put out album after album that raises the bar. Ray sings with a ferocity of man with a day left to live still! Kudos!!! No room for trying indeed, as most bands cant compete!!

[@hmetaljustin]

This band never ceases to amaze me.

[@MonoLucas123]

wow really good song, good lyrics...

[@gordonmendonsa1450]

Masterpiece! There”s nothing that time can’t end!

[@anonshadow2239]

Ok Now I'm stoked about this one. Sick drumming and amazing melodies

[@KARYTTAH_PopMetal_Rock_BAND]

Awesome, Great, Wonderful.....Song. Fates Warning is one of our main influences.

[@barbaracastilleja1714]

This album came out when my father passed its so beautiful .I wish they were right here performing

[@DVegMusic]

Wow! It has been long time since a song made me that excited. Great riffs, great song! Thanks Fates Warning.

[@DiamondSane]

So nice to see you guys are not staying the same, but progressing. Excellent. Bring it to Moscow, please.

[@KyleJPie10]

Matheos has an undeniably original tone. And this track may be the most inspired piece I've heard from Fates since Pleasant Shade

[@88omair]

You're right, Matheos definitely has a signature tone and style. And add to that an incredible songwriting gift. Production on this sounds stellar, and Jarzombek is really flexing his muscles. So glad that we didn't have to wait a long time for a follow up to Darkness. Really looking forward to this

[@scottdenja6896]

No exit anarchy divine

[@cristianpavez6832]

A new masterpiece!!! Best FW album since "Inside Out" of 1994. I work like drum roadie to Bobby Jarzombek here in Chile when he come with Sebastian Bach opening for Guns N Roses, one of my idol drummers since the "Thundersteel" album by Riot of 1988!! Is a good friend and great human being.

[@88omair]

Bobby is super human

[@dariosofronisco6767]

probably you don't know A Pleasant Shade of Gray and Disconnected...

[@cristianpavez6832]

I know APSOG & Disconnected very well, buy thats albums when is out in 97 and 2000, but for ME this new records is superior.

[@pariskotsaros]

Great track

[@sinbad64]

Long overdue comments from myself!: Absolutely sublime, great production, the whole band sounding sweet and for me personally... Ray's vocals superb/stunning. Brilliant band often overlooked/not given the full credit they truly deserve.

[@Shelby8371]

Thanks, Jim M for your art. You are truly one of the best song writers on earth. Fuck the 4th of July , for me it's July 1st . Fates is a band of real musicians for musicians. Been a fan since the video of Silent Cries on Mtv Headbangers ball. Can't wait to hear the full disc and THE VOICE...nuff said

[@gilbertvidela7238]

I learned of this band in jr high ‘86’sh? Always incredible arrangements. No Exit is my favorite. Peace

[@alissajamiedrew5103]

One of the best bands ever! There would be no such thing as "Progressive-metal" without Fates Warning.

[@akispetrov]

I'm writing this, as this is the 3rd time i'm listening to it. I really hope the rest of the album will be of such perfection and elegance. God, Ray's voice is so close to heaven.

[@francescoballetta7945]

Pezzo clamoroso. Non me l'aspettavo assolutamente. Dopo il recente piattume. Grandissimo alder e batteria eccellente

[@hvidhajen]

This song just gets better each time I listen to it.

[@Scadufax2001]

Wow, MUCH better than expected!! Welcome back FW, we missed you!

[@walassearaujo2709]

Fates Warning voltou a ser a banda maravilhosa que sempre foi. Que som caras, que som!!!!!

[@hallowedland]

Darkness in a Different Light was an awesome album, but this song heralds masterpiece!

[@ln4454]

Another masterpiece coming???

[@chandresam29]

Canzone splendida per un gruppo unico! thank you guys!!

[@theartofdaniel5782]

I had the honor seeing Fates Warning in San Antonio. One of the greatest experiences in my life.

[@dchmtl1]

welcome back guys!!! this new album is the way it should be. Awesome !!! Every cut is pure Fates Warning. Ray, you are fantastic. Welcome back!

[@DJC3412]

Love Love Love Fates & Redemption ! Ray Alder is 1 of a Kind !

[@rickreczek9253]

Hands down the best band in the world!!!Nothing comes close.Super cool guys also.Thanx gents.You Rule!!!

[@instorypl]

Simply stunning! Musically brilliant and vocals really over the rooftops :)

[@kroddlerwoo9574]

Freaking incredible.....!!!!

[@ktompa77]

INSTANT LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot - for the life of me - wait to hear the whole album! Still going SO strong after so many years!!!!! WHAT A FREAKING AMAZING BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greece patiently awaits for your return :)

[@88omair]

I think FW's most passionate fans are from Greece. You guys are nuts, in a good way of course :D

[@ktompa77]

Haha you might be correct in this! We LOVE our Fates Warning :)

[@toobarific]

Omair Sheikh I think they are from Connecticut.

[@MrREALMARCEL]

Excelente!

[@auralfixxation6702]

I've been a fan since "No Exit". Fates Warning still produces great songs. I applaud you!

[@Starlesschild]

How many pandemies must come and go on, before you listen better Awaken The Guardian? Ahahahah I'm foolin

[@jeffcordova9633]

Can't wait to see you boys Sunday for the 1st time, been a fan since I was a little boy est 1993

[@George292Rainbow]

Amazing new album...Greece has already done the right preparation to celebrate it in the way it has, by the STAGE...

[@francescoballetta7945]

Ho deciso di acquistare il nuovo platter sulla fiducia e sulla speranza rinata con questo bel pezzo

[@bigmclargehuge5248]

This is the band that got me into progressive rock & metal before it was actually called that. Way back in 1988. All I knew was I loved the time changes, intricacies and depth of the music.

[@blackroseimmortal9979]

Wow, I really like this! I'll have to check out some of their other stuff. The drumming really blew me away and the singer's voice is very warm and emotional. Heavy, yet original sounding progressive music with an emphasis on the songwriting and not technical wankery. Glad I found these guys.

[@AhnxRU]

These guys are the founders of progressive metal, no less. Long before Dream Theater etc.

[@88omair]

Check out Perfect Symmetry. A landmark prog metal release

[@PabloJ1968]

They’ve been around for almost 30yrs, so, enjoy the trip.

[@ekptotosaggelos666]

AMAZING!

[@lesclaypool0727]

Melancolic and powerfull!

[@mralex2387]

we are having a great year for prog metal... this one, Gojira, Opeth, Devin Towsend, Meshuggah (coming up) they've been all GREAT !

[@fantotzii]

Pffff, such an amazing track! I look forward to the whole album, as well. All of the Fates Warning members are truly fuckin' insane. Greetings from Romania!

[@fabricionvagno72]

Perfect! Great return. \o/ from São Paulo - Brazil

[@IanBundy_art10Zen]

AWESOME TRACK.....

[@MichaelxAlexander]

WOW! this is so good, and Ray Alder sounds so epic too!

[@waltervanweert9815]

Great band, great music, great artwork!

[@ln4454]

Great song, specially the first 2 minutes.

[@RyuuzakiXIII]

The intro is so holdsworthish. May he rest in peace.

[@bubu10435]

Just got the 2 CD release on pre-order today. They have been one of my favourite bands over the last 6 years. Started listening to them in 2010 and immediately loved Ray's voice, but not only him but the years with John Arch are quite memorable too. I think this one is better than 'Firefly'.

[@Gary613]

Been a big Ray fan since his debut even saw him the night of his 21st Birthday at Jaxx in Springfield, VA and many many more times after that and now 27 later sounds as great now as he did then, even one time at the Bayou in DC he apologize for having a cold..could never tell if he did not mention it..a true American Treasure to those of us that truly loves Metal of all kinds

[@barbaracastilleja1714]

Ive been a fan for sooo long and still one,keep it going Fates Warning God bless ya

[@SD-cl5mj]

My fav band, been a fan since no exit came out

[@tenzin682]

I've been waiting for this!! First listen! They've set the bar even higher than on "Darkness". Ray, Jim, Joey and Bobby sound amazing as always!!! going to check out tour dates. It's good to see my friend [Omair] commenting!! Fates rules!!!

[@mitchgresko760]

Interesting to me that the band pic on their website is missing Frank/Mike. It is like they are only a four-piece now.

[@88omair]

Yeah they have 4 official members. Frank contributed a few solos, while Mike will probably tour with them

[@seanl67]

This album is excellent.

[@Autos_ena_miden]

Inside out album gone mature... Perfect!

[@TeenstarletsInfo2015]

Great opener of a great album!

[@stinky_nut_blast]

FW are really good at opening albums.

[@DIYGamer1981able]

Fates Warning is awesome! Please come to puerto rico!!!

[@stephencjeffery]

Wow!!!! This is awesome I can't wait for the album

[@kroddlerwoo9574]

I might just give my left arm to have Fates visit Florida again...... Orlando-Tampa is always overlooked.

[@seandaniell9380]

try living in Australia mate, still waiting for the 1st Fates tour :( But how good does this sound? Fingers crossed, maybe this time someone will bring them out

[@kroddlerwoo9574]

Well, I guess I can't complain too much then.... But Its honestly been since Disconnected since they've been back.....

[@Cyxology]

Simply amazing.
