No Exit, by Fates Warning

No Exit

by Fates Warning

supported by

Nameless Pilgrim Fantastic melding of late 80s thrashy riff styles with more expensive song structures. No Exit brings philosophical themes in lyrics to the forefront. Ray Alder gives it his all on his first outing. He's among the best clean tenor vocals of this period of metal along with Geoff Tate and Midnight. 1988 was simply a fantastic year for metal when you count the absolute classic releases from that year and No Exit ranks with the best of them. Favorite track: Silent Cries.

BoneWalker To continue without John Arch has been a great challenge for Fates Warning but Ray Adler was more than able to keep the flame alive. I love Arch and the first three amazing albums of the band; that said, No Exit proved to be the first of several releases that would bring Fates Warning out as one of the greatest and long-lived prog-metal bands ever! Favorite track: The Ivory Gate of Dreams.

drcoleman And Ray was unleashed on the world! Such an amazing album, and IGOD is the perfect progressive song to showcase the band’s incredible songwriting. Favorite track: The Ivory Gate of Dreams.

marcusalmightygemineye Honestly..the minute i opened the email from Metal Blade records and saw this was being reissued..i dropped everything and bought this album and Inside Out. Here in Canada those albums are impossible to find and they are two of my favorite FW albums. So happy about this!!! Favorite track: The Ivory Gate of Dreams.
