fates warning-best progressive metal band you never heard

this band has been around since 1982 and i became a huge fan with their 1986 release of "awaken the guardian" and along with the far more successful band queensryche helped establish progressive metal.

fates warning is the better band in my humble opinion.

give these guys a listen.still tight after 30 years.bravo gentlemen.

It always amazes me when a group of talent has been around for so long, yet never makes it into the general public awareness.

Not super impressed with their rhythms, but that coupled with the clean vocals reminds me of early Stone Temple Pilots (admittedly 15 years later, but still one of my favorite bands).

It's upsetting that I can't think of another late-career band that 'made it big' decades after touring. Victims of the market, I suppose, with this stupid fetish for only picking up the new, young acts. Otherwise these guys would be pretty ripe for some audiences today.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check out their other stuff for certain.
