Background
On February 15, 2019, it was announced that Fates Warning had re-signed to Metal Blade Records, and were planning to work on their thirteenth studio album for a 2020 release.[4] In a December 2019 interview, bassist Joey Vera stated, "Fates Warning is not quite done writing, but pretty close. I think that the Fates record is also gonna be recording probably around January, February. I'm still very involved in both of those bands, obviously. So, for sure, a new Armored Saint record and a new Fates Warning record is on the horizon in the next 18 months, for sure."[5] On May 13, 2020, Alder announced on his Instagram profile that his vocals for the album were finished.[6]
On August 25, 2020, details of Fates Warning's thirteenth studio album were released, including the title, release date and track listing, and its lead single "Scars" was released on the same day.[2]
In a May 2023 interview, Ray Alder revealed that Jim Matheos has no plans of writing any more new music for the band.[7][8]
