The Best and Worst of Slaughter – Ep615

This week we take a look at the studio catalog of 90’s band Slaughter. Formed in 1988 by ex Vinnie Vincent Invasion members Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum, the duo recruited guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias before getting to work on their 1990 debut album ‘Stick it to Ya.’

Riding high on the success of singles such as ‘Up All Night’ and ‘Fly to the Angels,’ the album sold well and secured the band a slot on KISS’ ‘Hot in the Shade’ tour. 1992’s followup album ‘The Wild Life’ would show solid sales but telltale signs of a tide shift in the music business.

Without major label backing, Slaughter would go on to release 3 albums for independent label CMC Records; 1995’s ‘Fear No Evil,’ 1997’s ‘Revoluion,’ and 1999’s ‘Back to Reality.’

Mark Slaughter would go on to record two solo albums; 2015’s ‘Reflections in a Rear View Mirror’ and 2017’s ‘Halfway There’ but Slaughter remains out of the studio. Will that change? Only time will tell.

This week we pick our “best” and “worst” song from each Slaughter studio album. Joining us this time is Marc Alden Taylor of the Free Form Rock podcast. Check them out at https://scifimarc5150.podbean.com/
