A-Z, the band formed by Fates Warning icons Ray Alder and Mark Zonder, have released the 11th and final video for the band’s debut, self-titled release, for the track “Sometimes”.
Zonder had this to say about the video and how it came to be: "When we did our 9th video for the debut A-Z album, 'Run Away', we asked fans to send in clips that we would incorporate into the video. We thought this would be a cool way to see how the fans were interpreting the songs.
“One of our fans, Ryan, turned in all kinds of clips that were very well thought out and he put a lot of time and energy into it…Really good stuff.
“We became friends and he asked if it was cool to create an entire video for the final video from the album, 'Sometimes'. We said 'yes!' and Ryan came up with a very, very cool concept that really has a lot of cool hidden gems within it. This is not a Spielberg production, but an absolutely impressive video from a dedicated fan.
“We really appreciate all of his effort and hard work and we hope our fans enjoy the video as much as the band does."
A-Z is currently at work on the band's second album with a cast of world-class musicians that will be revealed in the coming months. Fans can expect the new material to be heavier in nature and will feature two guitarists while maintaining space for great vocals and choruses. In touring news, A-Z plans on hitting the road following the release of the second album.
"Several of the new songs have been shared with a group of respected friends and musicians," Zonder said. "Their consensus is this is next-level music that even surprised them with how well the songs blend the heaviness and prog of the 1970s with today."
