the ruins at Honberg Castle. The view was incredible over looking the town below. The crowd was really awesome and
we rocked the glowing blue castle at night!! Insane...This was definitely a memorable performance for me. I hope to return
next year for another festival. The Magic Circle Festival in Bad Arolsen was another great show despite a few technical difficulties that
were out of our control...Unfortunately, we had to play a shorter set because the shuttle was 4 hours
late to pick up singer Gary Barden and Carlo my guitar tech from the airport...Good one!! So the whole band is waiting on
stage for the first site of Gary Barden. Finally he arrives and we instantly run onstage and begin "Into The Arena". We end
with "Doctor ,Doctor" for a shorter 40 minute set. Despite the poor stage monitor mix, the sound out front was great. Thousands
of fans singing along with fists in the air, giving us the energy to rise above the minor distractions. Overall, I felt it
was a great show and we look forward to playing here again next year, to ROCK the entire set as we had originally
planned!! After the show it was a real blast to hang out with fellow San Diego friends, Benedictum. They're all
VERY COOL and we have played shows together in the past. So it was great to be able to do that again. Look for festival photos on this site and the myspace site in the next few days... Peace, Wayne Update: 6-30-08 Check out the 360 degree panoramic shots

Slavior is currently looking for a new vocalist/lyricist
for the second album...
All of the material is written and ready to go. Gregg Analla
has had the good fortune to become very busy with his art work and just does not have the time to commit to the band. Gregg
has some serious opportunities for his art and we all feel it is a blessing for him. He is doing some amazing stuff with his
art and we wish him all of the best. A mutual decision was made by all of us.
Interested vocalist can send links and samples to studio41658@gmail.com . Please check out www.myspace.com/slaviorband There are several promising vocalists in the mix at this point, so time is of the essence... Peace. Update: 5/15/08

12:00-MOTLEY PRIEST - 80's HARD ROCK COVERS InsideOut Records!! MEMBERS: $10 COVER/ $8 w/ flyer
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Slavior, the new band of former Fates Warning/Warlord drummer Mark Zonder has inked a worldwide deal
with Inside Out Music for the release of their self-titled debut album due in early 2007. 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 of influences including reggae, hip-hop, and modern
rock. Rounded out by Michael Schenker Group guitarist/keyboardist Wayne Findlay and ex-Tribe Of Gypsies singer Gregg Analla,
Slavior is a band that has been a long time coming for Zonder. “For a long, long time, I’ve always wanted to put something together that was based on
the drum parts” begins Zonder. “It is very difficult to take a crazy drum idea and try to apply it to someone
else’s idea. Most of the time it turns into a mess. If you start with the drum part, and build from there,
it seems to work out. With Slavior, the songs are so accessible and groove-oriented, after 15 seconds, anyone should
be able to lock into it.” 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. “You hear the old saying, ‘when one door closes, another opens’ and I think that
is the case here,” relates Zonder. “Inside Out was always one of our first choices. I’ve known Jim (Pitulski,
Inside Out America President) for 20 years now and to come to his label is certainly something we’re excited about.
Even after we inked our deal with Inside Out, we heard from other labels that we were in contact with that congratulated us
and said that IO was a classy label. That’s always a good thing to hear.” Pitulski and Inside Out are eager to start working with Slavior. “Mark Zonder has been a friend and colleague for many years and I have long admired his incredible
skill as a musician,” comments Pitulski. “It is with great pleasure and pride that we now welcome Mark and Slavior
to the Inside Out family. The release of Slavior represents a unique challenge for Inside Out in that its sound
is not necessarily typical of what we've come to be known for as a label. We're looking at this release as an opportunity
to push our own boundaries just as Slavior themselves are pushing the boundaries of modern music.” Look for Slavior to hit stores in early 2007.

Update:7/3/06
My new band has been under going a few changes,
but things are moving in a very positive direction. We have decided to change the name of the band from TEMPLEWITHIN to SLAVIOR.
We feel that SLAVIOR better represents the style and imagery of the band...
Recently, our record company Black Lotus Records has gone under, releasing
us from our record contract a few weeks ago.
We are currently in the process of securing a new deal. Details of the release along with the new official Slavior website
will be announced shortly. The second half of the year 2006 will be a very exciting one for us...Stay tuned!!!
Update: 6/30/06
Wow!! We just got home from another week of touring and traveling with
MSG...The Graspop Metal Meeting was awesome!! What an incredible feeling to perform in front of 40,000 screaming fans with
gigantic circus tents, jumbo-trons and water cannons!!! What a great time!! The Czech.
Nov Plna Hvezd Festival was cool in a different way...30ft. flames shooting out of a giant smokestack about 150ft. in the
air!!! Very cool!! ...We did have a little trouble getting home though. MSG got stuck in the airport for over 8 hours
in Poland and had to stay an extra night because of tornadoes in Germany. I guess that's better than landing in them!!
Well, it's been pretty non-stop with 16 countries in the last
2 months, but I woundn't trade it for anything... We all had a really great time on this past tour, and look forward
to next month's Festivals in Germany and Bulgaria...and ofcourse, the U.S., Japan and Asia tours +? ...Stay tuned for more
info. and photos from the tour...

Just returned from Europe...13 countries in 6 weeks!!
I really had a great time on this past tour... The band is tight, Michael
is in top form, and we totally kicked ass and shredded every night, in every city!!! A few days ago we played the
Sweden Rock Festival for 30,000+!!! People rockin and having fun as far as you can see...Very cool!! Plus a huge jumbo-tron
screen!!It was an incredible and spiritual experience that I'll never
forget...
There were many highlights of the tour, but one of my favorites was
playing on stage with Gary Barden...For me, he was the main voice of M.S.G. as I was growing up, and to play with him on stage,was
truly an honor and a dream come true!! He can still belt out the notes like no other!!
Other highlights were playing on stage with Leif Sundin in Copenhagen
and Sweden, Sandro Pellegrini and Gianni Pontillo from Pure Inc. in Switzerland, and having our kick ass support band Nikki
Puppet, join us in the U.K. and Germany...They were really cool!!
Some other great moments was hanging out with Dave Lubeck(Molly Hatchet),
Manny Charlton(Nazareth), Brian Robertson(Thin Lizzy), Nibbs Carter(Saxon), Carmine Appice(Cactus), Claus Meine, Rudy Schenker,
Wolfgang Dziony and Herman Rarebell(all Scorpions) and M.S.G. alumni Steve Mann, Chris Glenn, Ted Mckenna and Barry Sparks!!
It was really a great M.S.G. celebration!! We leave for more festivals
in Europe next week...Stay tuned for more info. and photos...
