The band will be supporting the new album release with tours; a headlining tour in Europe that will take place in October, followed by a North American headlining trek in November and December.

Fates Warning frontman Ray Alder had this to say about the album, "'Darkness in a Different Light' is the result of almost two years of very hard work from everyone in the band.

"I believe that this line-up is the best that Fates has ever had, and I also think that it comes through in the music on this album. It's been almost nine years since our last studio album and I couldn't be more proud of what we've accomplished here.

"We are looking very much forward to playing some new songs for our fans who have stuck by us over all these years. We plan on touring as much as possible for 'Darkness in a Different Light' and hopefully we'll hit a few places we've never been...'

The new album is the band's first release with their current lineup of Ray Alder (vocals), Jim Matheos and Frank Aresti (guitars), Joey Vera (bass) and Bobby Jarzombek (drums).
