Fate is a rock ensemble from Denmark that originated in 1984. Between 1984 and 1990, they produced four albums before their breakup in 1993. Following a reunion performance at a German festival in 2004, the band reassembled and issued the album V in 2006. Subsequently, in 2010, they launched Best of Fate 25 Years through EMI, and in 2011 released Ghosts from the Past via AOR Heaven (Europe) and Rubicon (Japan).
History
The inception of Fate involved ex-Mercyful Fate guitarist Hank Shermann (René Krolmark), vocalist Jeff "Lox" Limbo (Jens Meinert), bassist and keyboardist Pete Steiner (Peter Steincke), and drummer Bob Lance (Bjarne Holm), working alongside producer Simon Hanhart. Their 1988 album Cruisin' for a Bruisin' included the track "Lovers" as a single and featured an updated rendition of "Love on the Rox" originally from their first album.
