Fates Warning - Anarchy Divine Lyrics

When I first saw this on Headbanger's Ball I was changed forever.

Aresti looks like Steve Vai 🙂

Save me someone's come to change me 😈

Sounds like Rob Halford? ...yup👍

This is revolutionary.

antologia del heavy metal un delicioso compax de guitarra y bajo ante una fenomenal voz aguda muy buen grupo

SUPERIOR METAL

DOESNT GET MUCH HEAVIER OR BETTER THAN THIS METAL RULZ THESE GUYS ARE SUERIOR MUSICIANS

🤘🤘

Jim and Frank just kill it!

Mid 80's.....Killer concert? Death Angel open, Suicidal Tendencies second and Close with Fates Warning !!!!!

First prog metal band?

they are so under rated it seams....they really are so great and always

Just saw them in concert. Still kicking ass!!!!

Ray was only 17 on this album!

got my Tix for the Tulsa show in March.Bucket list band.

Masterpiece

Smoking hot 🔥 🔥

One of the Hidden Gems of the 80”s and early 90’s one of my all time favorite bands!

My girlfriend got me the same tshirt Ray is wearing. I love the shit out of this album. So underrated and unappreciated. Sheer power

Bought this in may 1988 in 11th grade... Love all Fates Warning !

Masterpiece forever and ever

lol 2:49 the one woman in all of prog metal fandom

1:36 "want back teeth or roller blades? no, have something else!"

This was such an ambitious record. I don't think you can really appreciate it without listening to it front to back in one sitting. I still look at this as the crossroads of progressive metal. In the end this style got abandoned for a more accessible sound due to where Queensryche ended up going, and the rise of Dream Theater. Fates ended up taking much the same turn. I really wonder where this could have gone if it had gained more success. I still wonder if some day there will be bands that pick this up from where they left off. Don't get me wrong- I'm not saying anything was bad about where progressive metal went- it just went in a different direction than I thought it would at the time.

Man it would have been great to get more records like this. That's for sure.

This was my first exposure to FW. Saw this on Headbanger's Ball. Loved them ever since.

I’m making an album and I’m trying to go for this style, fates warning no exit, crimson glory debut, and Queensrÿche the warning

I literally just discovered this band like 10 min ago ..so far I like what I’m hearing any albums you’d recommend?

Queensryche - The Warning
Pyramaze - Melancholy Beast
Helloween - Keeper of the 7 Keys part I & II
Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
Alpha Tiger - Beneath the Surface
Alpha Tiger - iDentity
Helstar - All albums

Power & Metal \m/

This song kick's some serious ass! Love the band. Love the song. I built up my Queensryche CD collection and I'm working on my Fates collection. I have 8 CD'S and I think I just have a couple more to get. Thanks for sharing this!

Cannibal Corpse's guitar sound

real fuckin metal actual musicians its supposed to hurt your feelings or it aint metal

amazing band

Muy chida rola

Too many time changes... Just play. Damn.

The time changes is what makes it good

Awesome band! Always a big influence!

I most definitely have to purchase this album!  This is gonna sound real good coming thru my speakers!

You won't be sorry!

If you liked these guys, try a band from Minneapolis called Powermad. They had a cameo in Wild At Heart.

@tommyt1971 i dig powermad!

my fav FW-album together with Perfect Symmetry

One of my all-time favorite bands!!

who's the eleven douchebags that gave thumbsdown?,STFU!

They really should remix this album, it would be cool to hear it a little more raw.

aww...I dunno Awakening was highly underrated come to think of it the band is underrated

One of the most underrated metal albums ever.

One of the most underrated bands

My first exposure to the majesty of FW.

The whole album is unreal...I used to blow speakers with it.

Ridiculously heavy. A moment in time. They would never be this way again. Enjoy!

Ray Alder is a fantastic metal singer. Up there with the greats (Geoff Tate, Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie Dio...many others I can't think of now). Actually, I am more of a John Arch fan. I know most people prefer Alder, and think Arch has a weird nasally voice. I beg to differ though, John Arch has such control of his vocal range it's amazing. His vibrato is special too. I heard Ray Alder era Fates way before I was introduced to the first 3 albums. A friend let me borrow 'Awaken The Guardian' and said "dude, you MUST listen to this. This has their first singer and he is amazing"
That album stayed in my car cd player for weeks. I had a new favorite vocalist/lyricist. I just couldn't get enough of it. Every single song on that album is awesome. Then a month or so later, I picked up Spectre Within, and AGAIN was blown away.
Edit: Also, I'm from San Antonio (where Ray Alder is from). The friend who lent me Guardian actually met Ray Alder when he landed the Fates gig. He had a buddy back in the 80's who was in a fairly popular local metal band, and he knew Ray Alder. When Alder found out he was going to be the permanent singer for Fates Warning, a party was thrown for him. My friend went to the party and said Ray was all smiles the whole night. I can just imagine how happy he was, lol.

what a trip. jamming along on my bass, and can't hurt but try to match the vocals thread. now they have vids on my big screen. I almost can't bear to look at them, the memories of such a clean fantastic voice echoing thru my head these years. Warning: Fate! May cause awesome shower singing.

I keep mishearing the first line of this as "Anger your mum" which causes endless amusement.

Stop talking

get over yourself...

Glory Days of metal

I love that defiant NEVER at the end.

trying to remember how i found out about them I guess it was mtv seeing this video

Aresti looks like Steve Vai

i almost thought that was him haha

Best part is before he starts singing Great Intro

Singing is fantastic \m/

Not sure why they weren't more successful. Good stuff. 

They were not commercialized as much compared to other bands such as "Dream Theater" or late 80's early 90's Queensryche. IMO.

@koolaidman9922 there are a few catchy hooks and turns in some of their songs, like this one. Besides the commercial end, they still should have had a following atleast like Slayer or Megadeth or something. They were that good.

Too many time changes

Probably their best song.

First seen of Headbanger's ball, on MTV back in 1987. Huge fan, ever since. Damn, I'm getting old, but those guys still rock. darkness in a Different Light, is amazing.

Awwww dude they dtill rock

Yeah I remember seeing the video on Headbangers Ball too. The Los Angeles metal radio station KNAC (which went off the air 20 years ago) also played this song.

Theories of flight even better

I remember zrock used to play there music

Try The Spectre Within and The Guardian. Both great to me. give them a listen you will not be disappointed.

Right into my FATES WARNING playlist. ROCK ON!!!!!!

I tried so hard to get into this band, Such a great lead singer, but the off time music just drove me nuts. Sorry, but the number one rule is you have to be able to tap your foot to it. This band could have done soooo much more.

Are you kidding? How is any of this off time? Maybe we're hearing different riffs...

Also since when has music had rules? These guys were pioneers, they invented progressive metal, years before even Dream Theater. They were pushing boundaries.

@Robyn Chronister He'd REALLY hate Meshuggah, then! 

Look folks 400 time signatures but zero sales

badass guitars

that mesa boogie mk iv sounds freaking awesome

True metal! \m/ Respect!

awesome head banging intro

I liked ray shirt too gosh loved those days the old hair metal groups

I love his voice. wow can he sing. I am a long time fan. Since the early days with John Arch.

Out of all the tracks that Fates Warning did with Ray Alder, this is my favourite! 

Ray Alder freakin rox! my favorite prog metal singer off all time. fates warning rules, & still making great music!

Fates warning re mouniaaaaaaaa

Love this song!!!

true legends

Saw these guys on this tour, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!
still got the t-shirt

it's the bands like fates warning that seperates the true metal heads from the pousers

Totally! Your taste is old school, just like mine. I just got a beautiful Awaken the Guardian T-shirt. Keep looking, you may luck out

Awesome intro, and killer band I love 8"s thrash metal especially underrated thrash.

What are you talking about? The production had just the right amount of 1980's awesomeness!

Wish the production was better on this album because it was EPIC!

Great band of metal

and the lirics people getting u reallllyyyy high

Thats what major record labels make you do.

I totally agree. I was so disappointed when I heard the new one after this, they didnt need to change the sound. Anarchy Divine is their best song.

ΠΑΡΤΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑΑ ΣΤΗΝ ΚΩΛΑΡΑ!!!ΕΤΣΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙΙ!!!!

I really wish Fates Warning had made one more album in this thrash metal progression they were headed in after Awaken the Guardian and No Exit, instead of diving right in to the prog metal shit after this album... It would have been fucking awesome!! Ah well, AtG and NE are still badass as hell.

probably the closest FW came to thrash metal was this song! awesome!

These guys could rock out hard when they wanted to.

Gar

@metalironbird Harpos - I cant believe anybody remembers that place - or Blondies. I remember Annihilator and Testament at the Masonic - and then seeing Phantom of the Opera musical there like two years later.

"FK'N-RIGHT"!
