Engine

Engine was a solo project of FaWa vocalist Ray Alder, formed in 1999 as an creative outlet during one of Fates' down times. With two other Fates cronies in tow, one might expect at least a passing resemblance to Alder's main band, but that's not the case here. Instead, as heard on the self-titled debut, Engine was a modern, groove-oriented power metal band, slightly leaning toward the non-rap side of nu-metal. A second album, Superholic, was put out in 2002 but presumably the project is long since discontinued.
