SLAVIOR: Material For Second Album 'Is Coming Along Very Well'
August 15, 2007SLAVIOR drummer Mark Zonder (ex-FATES WARNING) has issued the following update:
"We will be leaving Monday (August 20) for a week-long trip in Japan. We will be doing some press, a TV show or two, a couple acoustic in-store gigs and two live electric shows. Ryo, keyboard player from SPOCK'S BEARD, will join us as we will be cranking out 'Stormbringer' by DEEP PURPLE and 'Can't Happen Here' by RAINBOW. Should prove to be some great music.
"We are all very appreciative of all of the hard work and effort put forth by our Japanese label Dingwall. Without them, this dream trip would have never been possible.
"We will be filming and shooting everything so keep posted for clips. Check out www.myspace.com/slaviorband for all of the details.
"Material for the second SLAVIOR album is coming along very well. Should prove to be a very solid release. See you when we get back."
SLAVIOR, the hard rock progressive act featuring Zonder, MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP guitarist/keyboardist Wayne Findlay and ex-TRIBE OF GYPSIES singer Gregg Analla, has posted its promotional video for the song "Dove" on YouTube. The performance footage for the clip was filmed on January 26, 2007 at Bill's Place in North Hollywood, California. Watch the video below.
SLAVIOR's self-titled debut album was released on April 3 via Inside Out Music.
The band had originally inked a deal with Greece's Black Lotus Records, but financial turmoil eventually caused the label to fold, leaving SLAVIOR to re-evaluate matters and come to their initial choice of labels, Inside Out.
A versatile, melodic hard rock/metal act, SLAVIOR's debut album features elements familiar to Zonder's progressive metal past, but also introduces a wide array influences including reggae, hip-hop, and modern rock.
