"Jarzombek: Right now I'm demoing stuff with FATES WARNING. A new song I just e-mailed to (guitarist) Jim (Matheos) a couple days ago turned out really good. He's got a 16-minute song for me that I'm gonna start listening to.I am excited about recording the record with FATES WARNING, and I'll probably do that when I get back from doing this tour with Sebastian in February or March"

I'm just playing messenger here. I love Fates Warning. They are probably my 3rd or 4th favorite artist/band/music of all-time. But I don't have the time to write some long term-paper tribute to them right now. In due time perhaps. But in the mean time, appreciate the Fates and look forward to this re-release. The reunion would be grand to see, but it would also be healthy for me to save $ for a down-payment on a house or new car someday. If they hit town, of course I'd go. But the odds of that are about as good as myselt recording a Fates Warning tribute album.

Also of course, a few months back as I recall posting, the next album should come out in 2010. That of course is as big a deal as a fan of this band as anything.
