Fates Warning "Parallels" Special Edition Trailer

[austinissoawesome1]

A classic and HIGHLY underrated metal album! Thanks for this! I saw them when they opened for Queensryche and Dream Theater and was as stoked to see them as I was the other 2 bands and they delivered! Ray Alder is one of the greatest singers of his generation and does not get enough credit for it!

[EOEguitarist]

This album was amazing although you can't deny the very strong Queensryche influence. Maybe they wanted to make their own Empire with this one.

The album after this, Inside Out, is even more sublime and beautiful than Parallels.

Its a masterpiece. Just listen to "Island in the Stream" or "Pale Fire."

[MotorCityGuitar]

Can't believe I'm just finding out about this now - thanks Metal Blade for keeping this stuff coming. Fates Warning in my book are the fathers and still undefeated champs of prog metal - they built the bridge that all others since have crossed.

[CBFHVP]

All right folks, who can send me a download link for the DVD of this Special Edition?

Who ever does that I'll send him via FedEx a bag full of candy and delicious sweets from my country. I'm serious.

[madmax2069]

Awesome, i like it.

[fundy76]

Fates Warning..man did they ever peak with Paralleles. Soundtrack to my high school career, tucked silk shirts into b;ack jordashe's even..damn, whhhhops!! lol.

yeah, they fizzled out..but I still champion them, there PS and Paralells era was truly revolutionary for metal/pop fusion. Shit, I thought Taylor Dane had gone hard...jean creaming stuff! Jordashe, that iss.

[polarispill]

sweet, Parallels is one of my fave albums, although I like them all. I saw them a few times, including at the Mason Jar in Phx when they played the entire Pleasent shade of grey album. Is there ever gunna be any new material?

[isiegel]

One of the greatest prog metal bands (and originators) of all time. Hard to believe James LaBrie sings backup on one of those tracks, before his debut with Dream Theater. Brings me right back to '91, when I heard Eye To Eye on Ian O'Malley's Metal Shop (WNEW).

[DiBiasehere]

Great lineup ..great band I said

[immortalsoloist]

I was at the celebration show yesterday in Los Angeles it was incredible! Mark Zonder,Joe Dibiase,Ray Alder,Jim Matheos,and Frank Aresti.

[MetalBladeRecords]

@immortalsoloist That show was ridiculous! One of the better shows we've been to in the last few years.

[immortalsoloist]

Absolutely it was phenomenal :)

[stoolpup]

Just pre-ordered. Can't wait to get it. One of my favorite albums ever!

[Isoniazyd]

Parallels album is one of my all time favorite. Hope I will reach Germany this summer to see this.

Too bad that after Parallels, FW changed their style to keep up with Those new progresive bands. I always miss this odlschool progresive metal from the first albums of FW and QR.

[Judezki1]

Cant wait this, its gonna be amazing for sure!

[JVanDeal]

One of my favorite bands ever. I think I'll never forget the time I saw you guys playing in Barcelona.

[n0minombre]

There's no song Parallels,,,

[VelvetViolator]

Can´t wait to see you guys play in Germany!!!

Great that you´re back !!!

[marcvlopez]

I just picked up two VIP tickets for the Hollywood, CA reunion show featuring the Parallels line-up!! VIP tickets get you early entry to the show and a Meet and Greet with the band!! Get yours now!!

[metgpks]

I just got my two VIP Tickets as well!!This will be my first Fates Warning show,I can't wait:-)Driving from SLC,UT to see this great reunion show!YEAH!!!!

[CHIMPOaGOGO]

I am forever grateful that I accidentally downloaded the song Parallels on some program back in middle school. Been my favorite band ever since. If I would have to choose a favorite, it would be Awaken the Guardian just for Giants Lore. But I can't choose; a favorite band means I absolutely love all of their work. I can't wait to have this set

[LordNothing]

"all with the same goal" yeah, to sell more albums with more easy listening songs, heheheh, Just kidding! no meant to be basher!

I like all Fates Warning albums! I can stand whatever album from them, but I have to admit that my favorite is "Awaken the Guardian".

[minoltamonet]

oh HELL to the yes! BEAUTIFUL!!! Can't wait to get my hands on the DVD... there better be more of Ray Alder in this one....

[liquifex]

Massive Fates Fan - This is going to be a great CD. I cannot wait to hear the new one either. I hope their name gets out there more.

[DiBiasehere]

Best Record I ever heard,should have made it BIG TIME

[stathistate]

Amen to that

[chett005]

they lost there edge..bring back john archchchchchchch

[SwanDust]

@chett005 Are you kidding?! I mean, John Arch was a great singer but Ray is much more conducive to their sound... Arch's voice was not very broad. Ray's is very broad & fits the musick perfectly... Parallels is FW most "commercial" cd but still a damn good one...

[rusnvik]

Would Love to see an East Coast date...Even just One...In NYC maybe? July 19th or something?

[theaterdreamer]

HUGE Fates fan, first same them opening for Dream Theater on their Awake tour in Dallas. It's great that FW is doing something as a band again. Now if they would just get back in the studio!!!!

[liquifex]

@theaterdreamer They are :-)

[minoltamonet]

They ARE, actually....a little birdie somewhere told me they are working on a brand new album right now...

[toxickissduo]

This is definitely one of the most important prog rock albums of all time. It is pure magic from beginning to end. When I first discovered this album about 7 or 8 years ago, I fell in love and still feel the same about it today.

Looking forward to this re-release, especially the DVD. A great way to celebrate such an amazing, perfect piece of music. One of the most amazing albums from any band in any genre.

[BurntOfferings]

I'm really looking forward to this package but I'm concerned the mastering will be a brickwalled mess like many metal remasters. I think I'll wait until people comment on the quality.

[metgpks]

Now all we need is a bunch of US show dates for the Parallels reunion thing!!!

[drdapsoy]

The summer/fall of '91 were a pretty magical time. You had The Black Album and Use Your Illusion. You had Ten and Nevermind. You had Crystal Pepsi, Super Nintendo, and Terminator 2. And you had Parallels. Nirvana got the headlines, but Fates changed my little 12 year old life the most. Boy am I glad Ray Alder didn't blow his head off with a shotgun.

[blacky156]

@drdapsoy great post! Yes, it was a great time. I remember I was with my first girlfriend, in my 20's, 280ZX and renting a house and getting ready to do a "solo" guitar record... my how things change!

I still remember reading that this album was written about the relationship of the Bass player and his wife. great melodic stuff going on here and everyone should pick this up!

[MetalBladeRecords]

Haha! Agreed! Ray Alder is a bad ass. We have a lot of fun hanging out with Ray.

[Petruccibear]

@drdapsoy

Would it make you feel old if I told you I am a huge Fates Warning fan, but was born that year?

[austinissoawesome1]

@drdapsoy I've always said that 1990-1993 was the greatest period for metal. The black album, Qryche/Empire, Skid Row/Slave..., Crue/Feelgood, Great White/Hooked, Megadeth/Countdown..., Dream Theater/Images...., Guns N Roses/Illusion, Nirvana, AIC, Savatage/Edge of Thorns, JP/Painkiller, and of course Parallels. And that's only scratching the surface!!!

[Iamprettymuchawesome]

hmmm i was thinking something more like we are the end, cannibal corpse, unearth... but this is good to

[Blackened1993]

prefer TBDM

[WeRemaincf]

haha, i love how the metal blade guys comment on their videos, they know a hell of a lot more about their shit than a lot of these kids on youtube

[MetalBladeRecords]

It's in our job description! Either way, we're glad people care enough to comment. Usually comments from metal heads are more intelligent than pop fans, but hey, nobody bats 1.000!

[metgpks]

A great album,I can't wait!!It reminds me of Metallica's Black Album but with the prog metal thing going on!!Very Cool!!

[SirNalgustin]

awesome!! this makes me happy :)

[varulv234]

Not exactly my thing.

[mkdray224]

ummmmm.....

[MetalBladeRecords]

This is one of the most important albums in prog metal. James Labrie from Dream Theater does guest vocals on the song "Life In Still Water". Know your metal history!

[BaguMka86]

wow

nice

new album of legends
