Arch/Matheosbegan as a reunion between foundingFates Warningmembers John Arch (vocals) and Jim Matheos (guitar), who hadn't collaborated since John Arch's solo EP,A Twist Of Fate(2003) - and hadn't fully collaborated for a whole album sinceFates Warning'sAwaken the Guardian(1986). In 2010, the duo began working on a record together and brought along threeFates Warningmembers to the fold. The five members would in turn release their debut albumSympathetic Resonancein 2011, under the nameArch/Matheos.

Since then, John Arch and Jim Matheos have kept busy with their other projects - but now the time has come for them to join forces once again, for a newArch/Matheosrelease, due out 2019 via Metal Blade Records.

John Arch comments:"The desire and commitment from both of us is first and foremost, but the impetus to move forward with anotherA/Mproject fell in good part on how well'Sympathetic Resonance'was received, and how the fans have continued to show their support through a variety of mediums, stating they would like a follow-up effort. The timing for Jim and I seems to be right and things are coming along nicely. We look forward to sharing the results with you soon!"

Jim Matheos adds:"It's great to be working with my old friend John Arch again. We push each other creatively in ways that brings out the best in both of us, I think. We've come up with what I hope is a worthy successor to'Sympathetic Resonance', and a great lineup of musicians to help us bring it to fruition."

Already featuring special guests ThomasLang, Bobby Jarzombek, Baard Kolstad, Mark Zonder, MattLynch, Steve Di Giorgio, Joey Vera, Sean Malone, Joe DiBiase, and Frank Aresti - with more to come! - this upcomingArch/Matheosalbum is currently being tracked, with Jens Bogren (Fates Warning,Opeth, Devin Townsend,etc.) handling mixing duties in November.
