Fates Warning - Long Day Good Night

Submitted by rockavlon on Sun, 11/15/2020 - 00:26

I must admit that if I like Fates Warning for any reason, over any of the other popular prog bands, ie Dream Theater and Queensryche, not to disregard some less popular, but equally artistic contemporaries of theirs is that they somehow always progressed, never resting on their laurels (for too long), or released a patently bad record. They might have experienced slower periods, times when they changed their sound rather drastically, but they always seemed to be artistically driven.

Her Chariot Awaits - Her Chariot Awaits

Well, when it comes to female voices, I want either angelic voices, or gruff nasty screaming rock goddesses… the in-between vocalists, they need to either have a totally amazing timbre or to be singing really well-crafted songs that might make up for any perceived shortcomings.
