FWX = last album?

[kerrick]

This could be nothing, but on cdinzane.com (online cd store specializing in prog), they said this:

FATES WARNING - "FWX ( DIGI )"
LIMITED DIGI BOOK PRESSING!!!
NUMBER 10 FOR THE BAND, MASSIVE REVIEWS, ONE OF THE BEST INTRICATE & MELODIC METAL RELEASES EVER, FEARED BY US ALL TO BE "FATES" LAST TOGETHER, MIGHT AS WELL PRESS UP A LIMITED DIGI BOOK FOR THE COLLECTORS...

All that stuff's nice, but what worries me is the "feared by us all to be "Fates" last together" part. Does anyone know anything about that being true? Do these people know something that I don't? I sure hope they're wrong. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

from Ray's interview, it sounded like Jim was working on another album next. I don't see them quitting, why would they?

[BenMech]

that's vendor speculation, not the artists's words. The vendors wanna sell their product supplies, so they Sound the Alarms

[kerrick]

Thank you. I didn't get a chance to listen to the interview. I saw that and didn't know what to make of it. Thanks again.

I believe it's still available for download if you want to listen to it.

Is it a large file? Because here in college, I only have dial-up, although it might be worth it nonetheless...

[BenMech]

nope, and what kinda college still has only dial-up?? Every school I've seen since the mid 1990s has had broadband connection in every dormroom

[cyclopssss]

Yep, I read Jim is already planning to work on it after OSI 2. Glad they decided not to call it a day!

HI everybody!!!

[kerrick]

Well, I'm living in off-campus housing at CSU Chico, over here in California (studying to be a mechanical engineer, yippee.) and you could get a higher speed connection, but it costs extra. For whatever reason, it's not included like it is in the dorms and stuff. Oh well... it works. And that's quite exiting that there will be a #11 soon! Does anyone know when the OSI 2 be done, so I can start getting ready for FWXI?

[cyclopssss]

I read it's a March release.....

[kerrick]

Thanks. I just listened to the interview last night after I posted last (while wearing my FWX shirt coincidentally... what a nerd I am). Wow, that's exciting! I'm really looking forward to the new Redemption album. Maybe that will hold me over until the new Fates album comes out...

Assume you're talking about "The Fullness of Time" kerrick? It's a real good album, with Ray's voice and the technical excellence...it's a good one to hold us over till the next FW. I sure hope there will be another one, I think we've all had questions about that. Just can't see them calling it quits because of time and age issues, there could be many other reasons...but with the DVD and everything, it looks like they're staying tight.

I'll still be surprised if we have anything in less than 2 or 3 years though.

[kerrick]

Actually, I've had The Fullness of Time since when it first came out, but from the interview, it sounded like there's a third installment coming soon. And if you go to the Redemption website:
ivorygate.com/redemption/
it says that there will be "lots of news coming up!" I'm assuming that means #3 (I hope!). We'll see, but I'm hoping for the best.

[SethFWF]

That's true, I remember Ben saying something about them(or Nick anyway) writing for the next one already. Would be very cool if they keep the same line-up.

Seth

[kerrick]

Well, from what I heard, Ray is for sure, and of course Nick. As far as the rest, I don't know, but I don't think anything on their website said anything about line-up changes. Although I do think Rick's voice gave the first album a different feel, but I can't say I necessarily like him better though.
