No Exit

About

✪ Fates Warning -- No Exit ✪ No Exit is the fourth album by the progressive metal group Fates Warning, released in 1988. Lyrically, No Exit proved a radical departure from Fates Warning's last three album, as the album focused more on society and dreamscapes than the fantasy metal embraced by albums such as The Spectre Within and Awaken the Guardian. This album is the last by Fates Warning to feature Third Image cover art. It also marked the recorded debut of new vocalist Ray Alder. A reissue was released September 4th 2007 in celebration of Metal Blade Records' 25th anniversary. The reissue includes three bonus track, and a Bonus DVD. The album is conceivably the band's most popular; although it reached only #111 on the US Chart, it remained in the charts for thirteen week, longer than any of the band's other album. The album title was inspired from 1944 play No Exit written by Jean-Paul Sartre. Track Listing 1. "No Exit" (Matheos) – 0:41 2. "Anarchy Divine" (Aresti/Matheos) – 3:46 3.
