FATES WARNING
Bubeník Mark Zonder sa rozhodne nenudí. Ak máte radi jeho hru, preklepnite si niektoré z projektov, na ktorých sa v ostatnom čase podieľal:
"After finishing the eight reunion shows, twenty flights and thirty thousand miles for FATES WARNING that included shows in California, Texas, Connecticut, couple shows in Greece, Bang Your Head!!! festival in Germany and Sweden Rock Festival, I have been doing a lot of recording for other artists. Some of these include:
* Brian Futch: Cross between pop and rock with great storyteller style songs and vocals.
* Richard West of THRESHOLD doing a more mainstream project with great vocals and again great songs. Very melodic.
* A band with former DREAMZFATE vocalist Ripper X, Dan Pocengal (former guitarist of DREAMZFATE / MIDNIGHT PROJECT), Chris Strayer (former keyboardist of ELI ALSO / SISTERS OF MERCY and had a stint touring with TYPE O NEGATIVE). Heavier stuff with good song structure verging on the metal-prog style. Very solid.
* Dan Pocengal solo project, which is instrumental and a bit more free form, which lets me wander a bit more.
* SPEAKING TO STONES: Finished up the album over the past year. Complete classic metal-prog with tempo and time signature changes all over the place. Really good playing and serious lead guitar playing. If you are into prog-mteal, this is for you. Should be coming out in the beginning of 2011.
* TEN, the English band featuring Gary Hughes. Great songs, great hard rock vocals and tight, tight guitar playing. Very proud of this as it was not your classic Mark Zonder-style playing. I approached this differently and was sort of surprised myself on how well it came out. Something about letting the drums and cymbals really breathe, excited me and gave me great inspiration. Great songs, great playing, really excited and curious how this comes out as it is being mixed by Dennis Ward and will be released on Frontiers in 2011. Could and should be a big record. Hopefully live playing will follow the release.
"Just continuing to record, having a great time."
