Band Name Fates Warning. Album Name Awaken the Guardian. The guitar work is absolutely sublime on this album in every possible sense on here. Unlike those bands I mentioned earlier, Fates Warning actually wrote powerful, heavy as hell riffs that still managed to be pretty damn catchy. The riffing is a mix of NWOBHM – Diamond Head and Iron Maiden –, and some thrash metal (that thrash break on Prelude to Ruin ? Wouldn’t have sounded out of place on an early Overkill album)

Fates Warning was once an Iron Maiden clone, but then they decided to take their influences and put on their own esoteric twist, resulting in the flawed, but interesting 1985 release, The Spectre Within. Awaken The Guardian is an album that carries its listener on a journey like no other before or after it. It shows a band not only creating their own sound, but not trying as hard to impress either on first listen. There is no technical.

Fates Warning leader, guitarist and chief songwriter Jim Matheos will be living parallel lives in 2016. He’s helming the writing and recording of the band’s 12th album with the current lineup, and will concurrently assemble a lineup from the band’s distant past, including guitarist Frank X Aresti plus co-founders John Arch (vocals), Joe DiBiase (bass) and Steve Zimmerman (drums)

It's always been this way, at least starting with this album. Before Awaken The Guardian's release in 1986, they were criticized as being an Iron Maiden copy. However, with this fresh new album, they develop a more distinct sound with their thrashy riffing, progressive time signatures, and power metal-like lyrics, become less and less like Iron Maiden with each release. It's unfortunante that such an album like this didn't rise to the top at all. The culprit for this dilema" An insane number of classic metal albums came out the exact same year.
