About the Album
Night on Bröcken is the first studio album by progressive metal band Fates Warning, released in September 1984 through Metal Blade Records.
The title of the album is apparently a reference to the Brocken, a mountain in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, which is traditionally associated with witches (Walpurgis Night), most famously in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Faust (1806–1831). The reference becomes apparent on two original album covers that “were scrapped prior to major distribution”. The spelling is a typical example of a “metal umlaut”.
