FATE OF MAN

Released in November 2021, "Fate Of Man" was the first single for the latest [Arjen Anthony Lucassen's] Star One album, Revel In Time. On vocals, giving a stellar, deeper and fuller performance than one might anticipate from... anyone, was Unleash The Archers' Brittney Slayes. And despite my ignorance of her or her band, well fitted into the Power-Metal-lean of Star One's more classic, epic Prog Metal sound (like Fates Warning, Evergrey or even some Dream Theater before them). Of that similar early Prog Metal vein is the guitar feature, Michael Romeo of Symphony X, with just a killer solo. Big song. Pretty darn good opener [to the album], I must say.
