Okay, so I'm not so fond on bands re-releasing old albums, but this seems pretty damn cool, especially the bonus dvd. It's also interesting that they'll have two shows in Greece with that lineup and possible US shows. Please, Chicago. :headbang:

Metal Blade Records has set a tentative March 16 release date for a special-edition of "Parallels", the classic 1991 album from the progressive metal band FATES WARNING. In addition to remastered audio, there will be a second audio disc of live and demo material. The package will also include a DVD with nearly three hours of material, including a complete live show from the 1992 "Parallels" tour and a documentary on the making of "Parallels" which includes live, studio, and current day interview footage with all the band members, Terry Brown (producer) and Brian Slagel (CEO of Metal Blade Records).

To coincide with this release, the "Parallels" lineup of FATES WARNING — Ray Alder (vocals), Jim Matheos (guitar), Frank Aresti (guitar), Joe DiBiase (bass), and Mark Zonder (drums) — is planning to play a few reunion shows. At this time, the only confirmed dates are as follows:

March 26 – Thessaloniki, Greece
March 27 – Athens, Greece

There will likely be one or two U.S. shows added to this, and possibly one more European date.
 
Hell fucking yes. Parallels is my favorite Fates record (top 20 all-time), and this is something I could've only dreamed of. Fingers crossed they do something in the Northeast. I'd probably go as far south as Jaxx and up to New England in order to catch this.
 
They just confirmed for the Sweden Rock Festival...

And Bang Your Head in Germany, which seems to have a kickass lineup so far:

ANVIL
BULLET
DORO
ENFORCER
FATES WARNING
JAG PANZER
KROKUS
JON OLIVA'S PAIN
LOUDNESS
NEVERMORE
QUEENSRŸCHE
RATT
SABATON
