Progressive-metal veterans FATES WARNING have set FWX as the title of their new album, tentatively due in October through Metal Blade Records. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include Left Here, River Wide Ocean Deep, Another Perfect Day, Stranger (With A Familiar Face) and Wish. "Ray [Alder, vocals], Mark [Zonder, drums] and I will meet this weekend in Connecticut to start recording our tenth studio release tentatively titled FWX," guitarist Jim Matheos wrote on the band's web site. "After the drums are recorded we'll start tracking guitars, bass, keys and vocals at my studio. Final mixing is scheduled for late June. If we stick to that schedule I'm told by Metal Blade that wemll make an October release." In other news, Matheos has confirmed that Zonder "will be leaving the band after this recording. Mark has been a big part of our sound for the last fifteen years and his contributions will be missed. But, I think It's fair to say, both sides feel it's time for a change. No decision on a replacement yet."

Some other kind of music exists other than prog ? haha I hope the gig went well Mike, I too am a bassist and it's been way too long since I've played on a stage :( Normally this summer a shit load of friends and I are goin to rent a small hanger in the middle of nowhere for a whole day. This means major musical get together, music and drink. It'll be all kinds of music as we will be all kinds of musiciens with some crazy impro mixtures, I think PROG, maiden/met/megad years, blues for the endless riffs, fusiony/rhcp/infectious, some jazz if I can move the musiciens, loads of major soloing, and general "f"ing around. This will be in the south of france so it doesn't concern most of you. Otherwise P/M me. By the way Cyril, I'll let you know when: you have to come play drums !!!! I let ye know how it got on, ACBLF. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 02:08:25 -0400 From: Mike Shetzer To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: bored tonight? => leaking into jamming (no not ytse we're not that Message-ID: <002901c44c55$d8337a80$9b00a8c0@mizz> --Boundary_(ID_Jq9zJzLH+ZTaUD5yBjN9XA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable 5 years since my last gig... here's the way it went down :P For those interested in seeing / reading how our show went last night, the review is posted in the Random Thoughts section of the link below. For those too lazy to move their mouse, here's the synopsis :) "Finally, I have an opportunity to post a self concert review! Without sounding too tough on myself, I kinda thought we played pretty crappily. I enjoyed myself very much though, so that aside, let's get to the nitty gritty. First of all, it really sucks playing with other groups who have a-hole members in them, lemme tell you. From the "no, unload your own equipment" to the "use our bass amp, you don't need yours. every bass amp sounds the same!", I was about ready to smack them with my 5 string monster :) THEN we got delayed because the sound guy wanted to watch the rest of the hockey game...THEN we had to wait for our singer to show up because he's a religious jew who had to leave after the Sabbath was over at 9:30 (sposed to be on at 10 PM...). Once we started playing, things started to pick up. I also forgot to mention that our singer showed up and calmly stated "I have 103 fever and the flu". Bonus, you say? :P After our first song, my third bass string got slightly untuned, so while introducing ourselves, I started retuning, only to find that nobody noticed so they continued playing. It's hard to play 2 whole songs while consciously avoiding the string that is out of tune. Once I fixed that, the only problems were timing issues between our drummer and guitarist (which I'm glad they noticed, because they were pretty prominent)... Crowd received us well, and friends who came said we were fun to see. I had fun playing the air bass in the intro of one of the songs, then pretending I never heard the song before by staring blankly at the guitarist's fretboard. I then made it appear like I was learning the song as they played it, and apparently I fooled several people who thought I was a "bass god for learning the song on the spot". :) I'm still a little disappointed and thought we could have played better, but I had a blast and that's what counts!" ||\/|| $ e=A2]-[=F826 www.angelfire.com/music5/sandman --Boundary_(ID_Jq9zJzLH+ZTaUD5yBjN9XA) ---YTSEJAM FILTER: Rest of message skipped because of attachment ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 6897 ************************** === Contributions to ytsejam: ytsejam@torchsong.com === === Send requests to: ytsejam-request@torchsong.com === === More information at: http://www.dreamt.org/local/ytsejam.php === === Brought by the ghost of ytsejam@arastar.coms past === === Reach the owner of this list at: ytsejam-owner@torchsong.com ===
