Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho

RAY ALDER is the lead vocalist of the progressive metal band Fates Warning since their 1988 release No Exit. 

He has released two albums Engine in 1999 and Superholic in 2002 with Engine.

He also sang on Redemption's albums The Origins of Ruin, The Fullness of Time, Snowfall on Judgment Day, This Mortal Coil, and The Art of Loss, having produced their debut self-titled release in 2002.

Ray Alder’s second solo release is simply entitled “II”, but in musical terms this is a much more revealing, exploratory piece of work than its predecessor.

Alder states …This album is more of a reflection of what I heard going forward as a solo artist. Longer songs, deeper lyrics and really pushing myself vocally. I hope that whoever listens to it enjoys it as much as I did while working on it...”
