A Twist of Fate

A Twist of Fate is an EP by singer John Arch, released on June 17, 2003 through Metal Blade Records.

Consisting of two tracks, A Twist of Fate features Fates Warning founder and guitarist Jim Matheos, with whom Arch would later release a collaborative album in 2011, entitled Sympathetic Resonance, under the banner of Arch/Matheos.
