North Sea Echoes have been praised for Matheos and Adler “maintaining their distinctive identity throughout, neither relying on proven past endeavors nor abandoning them completely.” Indeed, the band and How to Cast a Shadow use the duo’s shared and separate histories to forge a fresh creative opus. Their credits are the stuff of metal legend: Alder has been the vocalist and main co-writer for prog metal heroes Fates Warning for 37 years, recording 10 albums between 1988 (No Exit) and 2020 (Long Day Good Night). Rounding out his discography are seven albums with Redemption, two solo records, and the band A-Z, which debuted in 2022.
