John Arch - New album coming

euleria said:
So this is basically the current FW lineup minus Ray plus the old singer. I can't imagine this same band is also in studio cutting another FW album with Ray.

Sad news, I fear. I've loved the last three FW albums, and was looking forward to how they might build on FWX. But maybe we'll get another Engine album as a consolation prize instead.

I read an interview where Ray and Jim claim to have one more FW album in them. As to when it may surface is anyone's guess. And I don't know if Bobby has officially been named the new FW drummer but it is obviously looking that way. I was under the impression that Zonder had agreed to record with FW but not tour with them. But, that was a while back.
 
Arch/Matheos - "Sympathetic Resonance" released on September 13th, 2011 (same date as the new Dream Theater)

Arch /Matheos: Band sets "Sympathetic Resonance" as the title of upcoming debut full-length album Fates Warning guitarist JIM MATHEOS and original vocalist JOHN ARCH team up for new band!

As previously announced, Jim Matheos (current member of the progressive rock powerhouse Fates Warning and OSI) and John Arch (former vocalist of Fates Warning) have teamed up to form the new progressive rock band, ARCH/ MATHEOS. The band -accompanied by Joey Vera on bass, Bobby Jarzombek on drums, and Frank Aresti on additional lead guitar- began tracking the drums on January 12 and continued to record through mid February with Jim Matheos producing. ARCH/ MATHEOS is pleased to announce Sympathetic Resonance as the title of the debut album, which will be released September 13, 2011 in North America.

Jim Matheos offered his insight on the writing and recording process of Sympathetic Resonance; "I think John and I work really well together. There's a lot of mutual respect and trust in what we do.
But, we're also both very critical of ourselves, and each other. This can make for a long and, sometimes, tedious process. But ultimately it's one I enjoy because I think it brings out the best in both of us." John Arch added; "When I first heard some of the arrangements Jim had written and recorded, it took quite some time before I could wrap my mind around the odd time signatures and guitar work going on here.
There are some long compositions, so putting anxiety and apprehension on the back burner it was time to dissect these numbers into digestible bits. After the lengthy process of lyrics and melodies, listening to the songs now, I can't imagine them any other way." In terms of the lyrical content on Sympathetic Resonance, John Arch notes that "the lyrics this time around are more in line with A Twist of Fate and not of the mystical nature of some past albums."

More details will be released over the coming months so be sure to stay tuned to MetalBlade.com. ARCH/ MATHEOS pages on Facebook and Twitter coming soon!

Lineup:
John Arch – vocals (Fates Warning)
Jim Matheos – guitars (Fates Warning, OSI) Joey Vera – bass (Armored Saint, Anthrax, Fates Warning, Seven Witches) Bobby Jarzombek – drums (Halford, Fates Warning, Sebastian Bach, Riot) Frank Aresti - additional lead guitar (Fates Warning)

Isn't this the album Fates Warning announced last year or the year before that they were working on, only to have Ray's work schedule conflct and have Jim call in Arch & change the band name?
 
Is there anywhere to hear this song now?? Can't believe I missed the show!!
Would make for the best 4th of July ever to hear this new song.

I guess I don't get out much on the www anymore for something like this to get by me.
 
Damnit, how'd I miss the new song and how has it not been uploaded somewhere? :p I'll be listening this Wednesday, hope you replay it!
 
The Metal Madman didn't play the new song this week, and he's edited his playlist from the 29th and removed the Arch/Matheos track. Check out this thread: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/metal-madman/696531-weekly-playlist-questions-discussions.html

I'm betting TheSpectreWithin, whose first post was obviously deleted, was from management or Metal Blade and told him not to play anything from the new CD until the release date nears. Shame no one seems to have ripped it as I'm dying to hear Stained Glass Sky :/
