Fate formed over 5 years ago (none of us now were in the band then). Up until recently Justin Krahn was the only OG member, but he recently chose to part ways with the band to pursue a more full life of going to college and working. Fast forward ---> August 2006. Fate has a mass loss of members and their MetalBlade contract hangs in the balance. Fate acquires Devin Durrett (bass), Bryce Yuson (guitar), and Jacob Durrett (drums) from broken-up local Sacramento band Debello Castrum. This new lineup forges forward to write Fate's MetalBlade debut "Vultures" which releases on April 29th, 2007 (you can purchase this CD online from the MetalBlade Online Store). The band was scheduled to do tour all that winter to support the release of Vultures, but had a severe van flip on the icy freeways of Wyoming. This crash and other complications forced Fate to part ways with MetalBlade. We then acquired former Conducting From The Grave vocalist Drew Winter, and we have since been writing new material which you can check out on our MySpace.
So since the van crashing in Wyoming (which sucked balls it was like 2 degrees outside) we have been trying to get back out on the road. We have been working pretty hard on writing new material that pushes the boundaries of our genre, and our skills. Our good friend Joel Haston (Process Records) hit us up about setting up a mini-tour with one of his new bands THE NINTH GATE. We agreed with him this would be a good oppurtunity for us seeing as how long we've been stuck here in Sac on our butts writing new material since the van flip (we have since purchased another van which we dubbed "Eisengarde"). So right now we have about six of those dates booked, and four yet to be booked. I am personally really excited for this mini-tour coming up, because we play a stop in Bakersfield @ Jerry's Pizza with our friends MOLOTOV SOLUTION. These guys fucking rip and they just recorded their MetalBlade debut with TIM LAMBESIS of AILD, which is incredible.
