In 2010, Jim Matheos (current member of the progressive rock powerhouse Fates Warning and OSI) and John Arch (former vocalist of Fates Warning) teamed up to form the new progressive metal band, ARCH/ MATHEOS. The band accompanied by the talented lineup of Joey Vera on bass, Bobby Jarzombek on drums, and Frank Aresti on additional lead guitar began tracking the drums for their debut album Sympathetic Resonance on January 12 and continued to record through March with Jim Matheos producing. The technical proficiency of the bands instrumentalists is apparent throughout the disc's 6 tracks, three of which clock in at over ten minutes each; each musician bringing great depth, complex layers, and powerful harmonies to the table with the end result being as dynamic as it is exciting.
The group's talent and versatility is apparent on their debut long-player, Sympathetic Resonance, which clocks in at just shy of 55 minutes. Jim Matheos notes; "a lot these songs, Neurotically Wired, Midnight Serenade, Stained Glass Sky, and parts of others, started off as material for the next Fates Warning record. Ray (Alder) was unable to commit to a record at that time so I approached John about doing a couple songs together, maybe another EP. We just took it one song at a time and didn't even really consider doing a full length CD until probably over half the record was written."
Jim Matheos offered his insight on the writing and recording process of Sympathetic Resonance; "I think John and I work really well together. There's a lot of mutual respect and trust in what we do. But, we're also both very critical of ourselves, and each other. This can make for a long and, sometimes, tedious process. But ultimately it's one I enjoy because I think it brings out the best in both of us." John Arch added; When I first heard some of the arrangements Jim had written and recorded, it took quite some time before I could wrap my mind around the odd time signatures and guitar work going on here. There are some long compositions, so putting anxiety and apprehension on the back burner it was time to dissect these numbers into digestible bits. After the lengthy process of lyrics and melodies, listening to the songs now, I can't imagine them any other way."
In terms of the lyrical content on Sympathetic Resonance, John Arch comments; " lyrically with the exception of Epitaph from The Spectre Within where I am in the first person, there has been a pattern of using characters, imagery and symbolism to create stories, where the characters are in the forefront acting out the story line. This time, much like A Twist of Fate, the man again steps out from behind the curtain without the third person to reveal his human flaws. There are still plenty of metaphors and phrases that are open to interpretation, but just how transparent or relevant the meanings are to those who read the lyrics we will have to see.
This album is a masterpiece. Hopefully we get another one.
Just signed with Metal Blade for a new album !!
I saw their new single today
The new album came out in May and is great
@@BriBeast8566 Yes it's great, but Sympathetic Resonance is out of this world.
@@stinky_nut_blast Sympathetic Resonance is entirely A World Apart; superlative in all respects!
John Arch is so good he can make nursery rhymes sound amazing! 😀
Would anyone be upset to see Fates Warning do something what Helloween has done with 3 singers through their history on their latest album and have an album with Alder and Arch?
Love how the bass is where it is in the mix. Z3's drumming is unbelievable...
this by far is one of my favorite albums they did together, awaken , no exit with Ray, and I dig darkness in a different light. I am amazed how John can vocalize a melodic earful of joy.like how you brought dome of awakens lyrics to this album. Fuck you guys rock.
Any Given Day - One of my Favs
This needs to be reissued on vinyl
wow thank you for this
absolutely masterpiece
What amazing sound. It´s great. \w/ thanks for this awesome music guys!!
THE greatest voice in metal.
Lmao that was a joke right??
@@zacharythomas5839 As a whole no but he has one of the greatest vibratos.
@@azwris He sounds like a screeching cat. I can't stand his voice. Alder is was wayyy better, except for him on No Exit. Just my opinion.
@@zacharythomas5839 I thought you we're gonna say you prefer death growls for a second lol. But both are good when used properly
@@mr.echo24 I do like growls, but it would not fit in this music hahaha.
Love this album
Awesome
Hope to hear another album from you John :). And to see Fates Warning in the Fall of 2017 with Alder :D.
new album announced
Have a link? (sorry, didn't see your response till now) That's awesome! :D
All LP streams should be done like this. Hmm, all album streams even better!
masterpiece just order the cd !
John Arch at it again🤘👍
I don't know why Jim Matheos chose Ray Alder!?
No Exit was great but John Arch is so talented. I couldn't imagine kicking someone like this out of your band?!
the dynamic duo back at it. fuck yeah
and 40:35 to 41:05 is insane!
Saw an interview with Tony Franklin, talking about how the fretless bass is like the human voice. It´s like he was talking about John Arch...
Which interview was it in particular, if you don't mind finding it again?
@@delicheese6774 it's the One pretty recently where Carmine Appice comes by att the end and they talk about a possible Blue Murder reunion.,.I'm 99% sure.,..
@@delicheese6774 wirh Eric Blair ...
@@samuelheldilaof6361 Oh great, thank you!
Muy bueno \m/
Uma mistura das minhas influências, estão de parabéns.
Excelente Disco!...\m/
This is this this....
I imagine this is what it would have sounded like if John Arch had been able to stay with Fates Warning. It's a great album. I don't understand why it didn't do that well. Bands like Karnivool are doing something similar and are doing well. But, John Arch has always been one of my favorite singers, and it was good he came back, at least for a little while. :)
Lack of extensive promotion and a lot of touring. It's basically a side gig for fun.
I must say i liked ray over john now that john made me open mouth insert foot killed on this cause ray didnt we got this in my opinion jim & franks styles were perfect Vera on always. Mark Zonder my favorite drummer was replaced by Bobby frickin Jarzombeck who i think changed jims writing for the better. Than we got DIADL. BEST Of both worlds. I hope for another
One of the best albums I have heard over the years. Lyrics and metaphors are brilliant as well.
This video on the other hand, has a lot of glitches......Shame
In 37:53 some shit head bumped the table.
👽👾🚀Fucking metal rules! \m/
its ok...but that happens when you wrighted so good music when you were younger...mean past fates warning albums...with love...
Error at 40:49 :(
39:24 too? :(
yap :(
Sounds like a mic bump in the studio.
Its not that nice but it could be a lot worse. At least the whole thing is now available online.
record needle jumped... not a studio error. TBH not sure why Metal Blade doesn't re-record this video... but maybe they left that in there so you buy the real? lol
Hearing him do backup vocals for himself is pretty silly
I love this album! It will be forever new to me. NEVEROLD. And Incase anybody that does not know?? It resides in. BORNER CITY U S.A. CAUSE u know Y??? IT IS ...........THE SHTT!! PA!! BAM!! CHELE ALL OVER the haters MOUTH. NOT the likingz, PEACE V outt! And PRASE THE. # 1 LORD INTHESKY Haha haha. Che le
That had to be the worst streaming of such a fantastic album. Next time I recommend you play something that dont skip..Total dishonor to John Arch and Jim Matheos..
Music isn't that important
The person that uploaded tried man, gotta respect them as well
generally I agree but this was uploaded by the label and you would think they and the band would care but they probably just didn't notice.@@ashton35
