Fate - 'Around the Sun' (official music video)

Feel the essence
Of everything that you once lost
Not yet decided
What’s to come and at what cost
I will never
Hesitate or just let go
I will never
Be the one who’ll never know

I am ready, ready to face my fears
I am ready, and I won’t shed a tear

No regrets, looking straight ahead
There is so much more and nothing left to dread
I won’t hide, I won’t try to run
While the earth revolve, revolve around the sun

Around the sun
No tomorrow
There is no alternative
Try to imagine
If someone said to you “What if...”
You have to seize it
No one else for you to blame
Bite the bullet
Or it will be a crying shame

I'm ready, to face my fears
Yes, I'm ready

No regrets, looking straight ahead
There is so much more and nothing left to dread
I won’t hide, I won’t try to run
While the earth revolve, revolve around the sun

I won’t hide, won’t try to run
365
Six hours and 9 minutes every year
I will do the best I can
To not waste a single minute
Or waste a single hour

Around the sun, around the sun
365

Το μακρινό 1985 ο κιθαρίστας Hank Shermann δημιούργησε -μετά την (προσωρινή όπως αποδείχθηκε) διάλυση των Mercyful Fate- τους Fate, οι οποίοι κινήθηκαν σε πιο μελωδικά - εμπορικά μονοπάτια. Με την επιστροφή των Mercyful Fate το 1993 οι Fate διαλύθηκαν (επίσης προσωρινά) με απολογισμό τέσσερις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, δύο EPs και πέντε singles.

Οι Fate επανήλθαν το 2004 και συνεχίζουν μέχρι τις ημέρες μας προσθέτοντας στην δισκογραφική τους συγκομιδή ακόμη τρία full length albums συν μία συλλογή. Και τα τρία επανακυκλοφόρησαν από την Frontiers Music srl στα τελειώματα του περασμένου έτους (1η Δεκεμβρίου 2023).

Το 2024 σηματοδοτεί την δισκογραφική τους επιστροφή μετά από μία ενδεκάδα έτη. "Reconnect 'n Ignite" ο τίτλος και αναμένεται στην "καρδιά" του φθινοπώρου, με το δελτίο τύπου να μας δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες:

«Reconnect N’ Ignite marks the return of the Danish Legendary band Fate. Originally formed in late '84 in Copenhagen by Hank Sherman following his departure from Mercyful Fate, the band got their first record deal with the Danish EMI, releasing their self-titled debut album in 1985.

1988 saw the first line-up change in the history of Fate, as Hank Sherman left the combo and the band entered a difficult period of their career, until the release of “Scratch N Sniff", in 1990, when the guys returned to their initial strongest sound and becoming a more mature band, this also thanks to the new powerhouse singer Peer Johansson.

Per's powerful voice was the major addition to the sound of the band and his input on "Scratch N Sniff" was tremendous. After several tours in 1990/91, Fate was joined by a new guitarist: the talented Søren Hoff and they started to record new demos before to split up.

In 2006 Fate released "V", after getting together to perform at the prestigious Deep Impact Festival in Germany in 2005. The band got so many good responses from fans and media that they decided to continue.

In the beginning of 2011 Danish guitar hero Torben Enevoldsen (Section A/ Fatal Force) replaced Søren Hoff, and the band recorded “Ghost From The Past and later in 2013 “If Not For The Devil”.

Three titles recently re-issued by Frontiers Records Srl. Reconnect N’ Ignite deliver the band in a state of grace, a brilliant guitar work from Torben, a tight rhythm section, classy synth arrangements and the amazing Per’s voice, that once again shows his incredible talent. Songs like “Reason For Everything” will be stuck into the fans’ head for a longtime!»
