Ray Alder and Jim Matheos’ musical legacy is vast, both as collaborators and individuals: Alder sings for prog metal heroes Fates Warning, making 10 albums between 1988 (No Exit) and 2020 (Long Day Good Night.); seven albums with Redemption, two solo albums, and the band A-Z with Mark Zonder, which debuted in 2022. Prolific and pioneering guitarist/producer Matheos is a co-founder of Fates Warning, the lineup debuting with 1984’s Night on Bröcken on Metal Blade. Matheos myriad other work include three solo albums, the band With OSI and 2022’s Kings of Mercia, a lineup that’s been termed “a hybrid; it’s heavy, but not metal.” On North Sea Echoes’ debut album, Really Good Terrible Things, the duo embark upon a fresh musical journey, the new chapter of intimate, intricate songs highlighted by the singles “Open Book,” “Empty,” “Throwing Stones.” The 10-song album features drummer Gunnar Olsen (Puscifer, Miley Cyrus, Mother Feather) on “Throwing Stones” and “Empty” and Spanish Hammond organ and keyboard player Abel Boquera on “Move Around the Sun.”
