Formed around the abilities of seasoned professionals John Regan, Tod Howarth, Rob Affuso, and Patrick James Gasperini, the melodic hard rock band Four by Fate originated back in 1986. During that period bassist Regan was on the road alongside John Waite while keyboardist Howarth provided support for Cheap Trick. The pair connected immediately, prompting Regan to invite Howarth into Frehley's Comet soon afterward. Longtime associates, the two musicians established Four by Fate in 2014 alongside Skid Row drummer Affuso and New York-based guitarist/vocalist Gasperini. The fresh quartet entered the studio not long after assembling, enlisting special guests Stet Howland (W.A.S.P.), Sean Kelly (Helix, Nelly Furtado), and AJ Pero (Twisted Sister) to record material destined for their first full-length album. That effort, titled Relentless, surfaced in 2016 through the End Records in North America and Amazing Records across Europe.
