#491 - Ray Alder (Fates Warning)

Fates Warning frontman Ray Alder is our guest for this week's
edition of The MetalSucks Podcast! He's here to discuss his latest
solo album II, coming out June 9. As such, we discussed when he had
time to focus on following up What The Water Wants, why it’s more
difficult for him to write music for his solo project as opposed to
Fates Warning, and why he decided on calling the record II. We also
get to chatting about the long break from touring he's currently
experiencing, how he adapts to change in modern times compared to
his youth, if there are any plans for Fates Warning’s 40th
anniversary next year, and an update on all his other current
projects including Fates Warning and A-Z. This week is a music
episode and we present our mid-year best of list, and play a track
off of every album we feel you need to listen to before moving into
the summer! Song: Insomnium “White Christ” Featuring Sakis Tolis
