Legendary progressive metal act Fates Warning celebrated the 30th anniversary of their third album, "Awaken the Guardian," in 2016. The album was to become their final release to feature vocalist John Arch. That era's lineup was rounded out by bassist Joe DiBiase, drummer Steve Zimmerman, along with current guitarist Frank Aresti and, of course, Jim Matheos. To celebrate 30 years since the album's release, Matheos reassembled the "Awaken the Guardian" era lineup for two special festival appearances: Keep it True XIX in Lauda-Konigshofen, Germany and Prog Power USA XVII in Atlanta, GA.
