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!

A new Spiral Architect Album?

I used to be a big Ral Alder era fan, I still dig it, specially "APSOG" ( one of the best prog metal and metal albums ever ), but once that I got into John Arch, man, FW best moments have him. Well, this album is a must buy, because it has Arch and Bobby Jarzombek. I hope Matheos goes wild on odd signatures like on APSOG too. MAN, and Frank Aresti as a guest! Excellent news.
 
Man, it has been a while since I was amazed by prog metal or anything written by Matheos ( Apsog ). Man, this is going to be killing. John Arch is the man!
while ( true ) { :headbang::worship::worship:};
 
Guys... sorry to bother but my anxiety is kiling me. I guess you might be interested in hearing the two new Arch/Matheos songs that were emitted by the radio this week. If you missed them, as I did, this is your opportunity. The radio emision is available in youtube at:

Stained Glass Sky

Midnight Serenade

But they are worth listening...
