Slavior working with new singer
Slavior/ex-Fates Warning drummer Mark Zonder has issued the following update: "Slavior is currently working with a new singer we really like and will keep everyone posted on the progress. The second album is done, so it should not be long.
"I have just finished recording my tracks for the band Psychic For Radio. The album will be entitled 'Standing Wave'. Members include Michael Sadler (ex-Saga), Kurt Barabas, Sean Entrikin, Scott Kingsbury and Shawn Gordon. I had a great time recording both original songs and a couple covers that have some cool twists.
"Check it out at www.myspace.com/psychicforradioband.
"I am currently looking for other recording projects as I really enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone and working on other material. Feel free to contact me at studio41658@gmail.com."
Slavior's self-titled debut album was released on April 3, 2007 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.
