Commented guitarist, keyboardist & vocalist Tom Philips: “We all have dreams, aspirations, and desires. Most of us pursue them with passion…with all the strength, faith, and hope that we can find inside of ourselves. Unfortunately, sometimes this isn’t enough, and we ultimately have to come to terms with that which is unreachable. »Suspended At Aphelion« is the story of one such dream, but it will resonate differently for each listener…we all have our suns that remain untouchable.”

And in case you missed the first trailer about the album artwork, it is available to watch here.

The cover art for »Suspended At Aphelion« was once again created by Gustavo Sazes (MORBID ANGEL, ARCH ENEMY etc), and three separate audio masters were optimized for LP, CD, and digital download formats.

»Suspended At Aphelion« is undoubtedly their most ambitious, epic, and progressive album so far featuring a single track divided into 11 parts, performed by the entire »Fear Of Infinity« line-up as well as several esteemed guests, including FATES WARNING alumni drummer Mark Zonder and co-founding guitarist Victor Arduini – uniting two eras of FATES WARNING for the first time ever.
