12/30/2001 A New Year's message from Jim Matheos:
Hi everybody,
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year.
Looks like the plan is for Fates to start writing for the next record in mid to late '02 with an eye towards an early '03 release. We will, however, still try to put something out, perhaps a dvd or a cd of covers/unreleased material, in '02 but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Meanwhile, Ray continues working on the new Engine, Mark is busy with Warlord and other projects, and I am working on a side/solo project that I hope to be able to tell you more about soon.
Again, happy new year and thanks for your continued support.

4/17/2001 Fates Warning and Metal Blade have come to an agreement to release the home video made during the recording of Disconnected. No date is set as of yet.
And a quote from the recent USA Today Chat:
"Actually right now we're working on a home video. We had a film crew with us a lot of the time during the recording of "Disconnected", and we have tons of footage from over the years, as well as last year's brief outing. It will probably be a DVD."

Shaun Michaud from the band Event (check them out) will be filling in on guitar/keyboard duties for the upcoming tour.
2/18/2001 Latest News Update from Metal Blade:
Fates is currently working on a new album but they may still tour in May with Savatage (totally unconfirmed rumor-only in talking stage right now).
Joey Vera is going on tour with Armored Saint opening for DIO and Lynchmob.
Engine is writing but it all depends on what happens with Fates. It is not likely that either album will be released this year (but you never know).
