OK, I realize this thread probably won't generate a lot of responses, but I'm excited about it and don't want to keep hijacking the Fates Warning thread to talk about it haha.

Here's a good summary of the band: https://www.zwband.com/about

Official release date May 24, but they also started shipping autographed pre-orders on May 10 (I don't have mine yet but am very excited!)

I can't count how many times I've watched or listened to the youtube video of If It's Real.

I love Gary's singing on this.  I thought he did a great job filling the void with a lot of background vocals and harmonies on the last Shadow Gallery album Digital Ghosts.

I like some Shadow Gallery and I love Zonder's drumming anyday, in any record. I really liked those two songs, I think it will be a very good album for sure!
By the way, from their page in Facebook, I've got a response that the album will be avaible digitally on itunes and CDBaby at the release date.

Got mine in the mail today. It included a magnet and guitar pic which I wasn’t expecting. So cool. Can’t wait to listen to this tomorrow!

It's been really nice to hear Gary active in something like this again, really enjoying this album.

[ronnibran]

Agreed, it’s very good! I really like Gary’s voice, I think he could have taken over lead vocals on Shadow Gallery had he wanted to.

on paper this should be something I'd love, but it isn't doing a thing for me.
