New Album In The Works From Fates Warning

U.S. progressive metal pioneers Fates Warning have started work on the upcoming 12th studio album effort, which will be released worldwide next year via InsideOutMusic. Guitarist and main composer Jim Matheos checked as follows to comment about the status of activities:

"I'm happy to announce that all the music for FW12 is now written. Still some work to do on lyrics and final arrangements, but the plan is for us to start tracking in December with a release date planned for the first half of 2016. In the meantime, I hope to see and meet a lot of you on the upcoming US dates."
