John Arch will be the vocalist for the first time since leaving
Fates Warning's legendary album "Awaken the Guardian" will be played in its entirety. The exclusive performance will take place at the "Keep It True" Festival in Lauda-Konigshofen, Germany in April 2016, the year the album celebrates its 30th anniversary.
On this day, Fates Warning will feature not only original vocalist John Arch, but also the entire band that released the album in 1986, including Jim Matheos and Frank Aresti (guitarists who remain in the band), Joe DiBiase (bassist who left the band in 1996), and Steve Zimmerman (drummer who left in 1988).

In addition to playing the album in its entirety, Fates Warning promises to perform other songs from John Arch's era. This will be the first time the vocalist has performed with Fates Warning since his departure, although he continues the "Arch/Matheos" project with guitarist Jim Matheos.
