January 18, 2005

DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy will be sitting behind the kit for FATES WARNING during their appearance at the Headway Festival in Amstelveen, Netherlands on April 3.

As previously reported, FATES WARNING's appearance at Headway and their previously announced five headlining shows in February will most likely be their only shows in Europe this year.

Although there has been no official confirmation on the matter, there is "a good chance" that SPOCK'S BEARD drummer Nick D'Virgilio will be joining FATES WARNING for their European dates in February.

FATES WARNING are scheduled to film a video for the song "Simple Human" on January 23. Directing the clip will be Jerry Clubb of MentalSuplex Productions, who has previously worked with SIX FEET UNDER on their "Dead and Buried" video.

"Simple Human" (mp3) comes off the group's upcoming CD, "FWX", available now on Metal Blade Records. The follow-up to 2000's "Disconnected" was recorded at Carriage House studios in Stamford, Connecticut and features cover artwork by renowned record-cover artist Ioannis (DREAM THEATER, SEPULTURA, DEEP PURPLE, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, KING CRIMSON, BIOHAZARD, VOIVOD, UFO, OVERKILL).
