FORTÉ was founded in Oklahoma City in 1987 and in those early stages they band played an abundant of shows quickly establishing themselves within the flourishing underground metal scene by opening for bands like PANTERA, DREAM THEATER, FATES WARNING, WATCHTOWER, OVERKILL, SAVATAGE and TROUBLE. Signing to Germany’s Massacre Records the band released four critically acclaimed albums throughout the 90’s and just last year released, Unholy War, their first new album in 12 years. In 2011, Divebomb Records reissued a stunning deluxe edition of their debut, Stranger Than Fiction, yielding great results thus helping the band return to their former glory – including a coveted slot on this year’s installment of the Headbangers Open Air festival in Germany. This is just the beginning for FORTÉ as work has already begun on a new album.
