Love Ray's Modern Times shirt.
We miss you so very much in San Diego :)

[@lynnwunsch5049]

Thank you Josh for this fantastic interview. Ray is my fave vocalist for decades now. Love all his music and look forward to all he will be doing. North Sea Echoes is brilliant and so happy to see Ray and Jim working together again. Looking forward to receiving this amazing album!

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Thank you for the kind words. I hope you'll enjoy it on the 23rd.

[@tel5690]

I really enjoyed Ray and Jim writings and musicianship.
Great interview
Fates Warning fan since No Exit

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Very glad you enjoyed it. Thank you. I also rely enjoy Eay and Jim writing together.

[@Oxymoron666]

Great interview, thank you!

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Thanks for checking it out. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@LIVS10]

Ray Alder must come to Brazil, either with Fates Warning or solo. 🤘🏻

[@HeavyDebriefings]

I hope it'll happen for you

[@bitburg40]

As always Ray’s and Jim’s great music takes a unexpected detour on their scenic musical roadtrip only to end up at a pristine mountain lake. :)

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Very vivid description

[@bitburg40]

Tell Ray he can use it in a song royalty-free. 😂@@HeavyDebriefings

[@HeavyDebriefings]

😆

[@kirenindigital]

Ray is the MAN! Great interview, Josh!

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Yes he is. Thank you very much.

[@andysilber2702]

Great interview. It is a bit of a shame that this interview more or less had to stay focused on North Sea Echos.
The band and the album are each awesome. Obviously the interview had tbe intentions of promoting this band and its music.
I would have loved to hear him talk about Redemption as well as A - Z.

[@HeavyDebriefings]

When you only get 30-40 minutes, there's only so much you can cover. But I have talked to Ray a few other times about Fates and his solo work. Maybe for the next A-Z album I can talk ro him again about that.

[@andysilber2702]

@HeavyDebriefings That makes a lot of sense. When I have an opportunity, I will look for the other interviews.
As a very small footnote... I am originally from New Hampshire. Jim now lives a couple of towns over from where I grew up.
It was neat to hear Ray say that he flew up to New Hampshire.

[@DinaS-badsmom]

fabulous interview Josh.

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Thank you very much!

[@quiquicampos]

Just heard the album as well and bravo !!!!

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Fantastic stuff

[@SalvoVecchioGuitar]

amazing interview

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Thank you very much

[@fateswarner]

Well done Josh. Ray took opportunity to give most insight yet into the "artist".

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Thank you. That means a lot to hear.

[@MrSwimpro]

very different but i love the songs especially unmoved

[@HeavyDebriefings]

That one hits home for me as well.

[@frankbarker1568]

We're old now. Heavy is cool but this is just as good. Buy the whole album it's very enjoyable.

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Its just nice seeing them still write music together

[@AllMediaReviewsPodcast]

great interview.
Will be checking the North Sea Echoes album out of course.
And Fates Warning live?..it would be great to see them live again, if they do come to MN. I wonder tho if they will end up playing festivals or a cruise..or maybe both?

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Thank you
I'd love to finally see Ray live. Funny how I saw the John Arch Era of FW but not the one that actually tours.

[@gowanis]

The best singer out there along with the best composer.

[@HeavyDebriefings]

They have always been a winning combination.

[@jcspaziano]

Legend!!!

[@HeavyDebriefings]

Yes he is. 3rd time talking to him and it just feels so natural. Lifelong fan.

[@jayforhan6648]

Did he say Fates Warning shows for this summer? I didn't think that would happen again.

[@HeavyDebriefings]

I hope it'll happen. Nothing is ever official until it's announced, but I hope it'll happen. Even with Jim saying he didn't want to write new FW music, touring was always an option.
