Rock juggernauts Four By Fate's debut studio album 'Relentless' is out now and features three powerhouse drummers including the late drummer from Twisted Sister, AJ Pero. AJ recorded six tracks on the album before he tragically passed away in early 2015. This is thought to be his last recording.
The seeds for Four By Fate's formation were planted in 1986 when John Regan and Tod Howarth were on tour together; Regan playing bass with John Waite and Howarth singing and playing keyboards with Cheap Trick. The tour brought the pair together as friends and musicians and many months later Regan asked Howarth to join him in Frehley's Comet, a band fronted by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, the legendary Kiss guitarist/singer Ace Frehley.
In 2014, Regan and Howarth join forces again on a new project - Four By Fate. Enter Pat Gasperini, a New York guitarist/singer and prolific songwriter. With a solid east coast resume he adds ripping guitar hero presence and big tunes.
Shortly after, the band invited drummer Rob Affuso to complete the final foursome. Rob Affuso is best known as the percussionist of the hugely popular rock band Skid Row that sold over 20 million albums worldwide, achieved four Billboard top 100 songs and seven number one videos. Rob Affuso has also recorded with members of Guns N Roses, Jeff Beck and Gilby Clarke.
Stet Howland, drummer for WASP, was another 'startup’ member of Four By Fate.
