about this album
A review found for this album... Link: http://fossilrecords.net/fatelesstears.htm "Progressive metal is one of those nebulous sub-genres of rock/metal that one hears whispered about in dark alleys and sometimes even on internet radio. Every once in a while a certain band comes along that sets the bar just a little higher for all the other young upstarts out there in the genre. In this case, that certain band is none other than Fateless Tears, the brainchild of one Richard Baysinger, along with wife Sue, and compadre Brad. The new cd is called “Nightborn” and it really gives me hope for the future of progressive metal. I guess I should be a little more descriptive in that “Nightborn” is not just a prog-metal release, but throw in some goth and some surprisingly great, bluesy, instrumental jams as well, throw in some pretty close to virtuoso guitar work, and there you have it. The cd kicks off with a killer spacey, kind of ballad-y instrumental called “Dark Redeemer.” Don’t expect the rest of the cd to be like this though. Next track is “Sorrow’s Shroud” and it is one of the more blistering metal tracks I have heard in quite some time and features outstanding vocals by both Sue and Rich. Not quite my favorite track on the album, but very close. Two tracks are real standouts for me – “Inner Sanctum” and “Walls of My Sanctuary.” Sue’s vocals are different than what I am used to hearing from the likes of Nightwish and To-Mera, but I couldn’t imagine Fateless Tears without her.
