Long-running New York City (USA)-based doom metal quintet Grey Skies Fallen has just released a two-song EP, Fate 25, celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the debut album, The Fate Of Angels.
To celebrate this milestone, Grey Skies Fallen decided to go back and re-record a couple of their favourites from The Fate Of Angels. Having lost the original master tapes, the band was unable to improve the sound of the original album, so they simply re-recorded two tracks with their current lineup and contemporary sound.
The two re-recorded tracks, “The Purest Form (MMXXIV)” and “Athena (MMXXIV)”, see Grey Skies Fallen guitarist/vocalist Rick Habeeb (Buckshot Facelift, Reeking Aura), guitarist Joe D’angelo (Umbersound), bassist Tom Anderer (Buckshot Facelift, Reeking Aura, ex-Artificial Brain), and drummer Sal Gregory (Buckshot Facelift) rejoined by their original keyboard player, Craig Rossi (Drift Into Black). The songs were recorded/co-produced by Keith Moore, mixed and mastered by legendary Swedish producer Dan Swanö (Opeth, Edge Of Sanity, Bloodbath), and completed with cover art by Travis Smith (Opeth, Death, Katatonia,...).
Rick Habeeb comments: “A few years back we realized the master tapes for our first album were lost forever, so the thought of redoing some of those songs to freshen them up a bit could be a good course of action. We wanted to do justice to the originals, and we feel we’ve accomplished that.” Link
