's dominance over MTV
and rock radio. Achieving popularity at the tail end of the movement, Slaughter's day in the spotlight proved to be bright but fickle and brief. They have, however, continued to record and tour.
The band formed in late-1988 out of the ashes of lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum's previous group, Vinnie Vincent Invasion
, which had featured the titular lead guitarist
. The story behind the formation of Slaughter was that VVI's record company, Chrysalis Records
, took the $4 million contract away from Vincent for overexceeding his credit line with the label, and they transferred the contract to former VVI members Slaughter and Strum. By 1989, Slaughter and Strum completed the lineup by recruiting lead guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias
. Their debut album Stick It to Ya saw 3 songs hit the Billboard Hot 100
: "Fly to the Angels" (#19), "Up All Night" (#27), and "Spend My Life" (#39).
During this time, they were signed by Orion Pictures
to record a song for the film Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. The song, titled "Shout It Out", was accompanied by a music video and received heavy airplay.
In 1992, they released their second album, titled The Wild Life
. It had the Billboard Hot 100 hit "Real Love" (#69), and was certified gold.
The band planned to dedicate themselves to their next album shooting for an early 1994 release date. However, in 1993 guitarist Tim Kelly was arrested for charges of drug trafficking, while bassist Dana Strum had a motorcycle accident that injured his playing hand. The delayed album was finally completed in February 1994 and a video for the proposed first single "Searchin'" was financed by Chrysalis. Due to the changing musical climate and Chrysalis' absorption by EMI Records, Slaughter was dropped from the label in a massive cleaning house that included dismissals of other previously popular acts such as Billy Idol and Huey Lewis and the News.
At this time, they negotiated to be released from their label and signed with CMC Records, a new label that was working to keep hard-rock bands on the scene. In 1995, they finally released Fear No Evil
. Despite little success in the US, the album did well in Japan
. Guitarist Dave Marshall (ex-Vince Neil
band) had to fill in for Kelly at times, due to his legal problems.
Some time later, Kelly's legal troubles ended and the band committed to their next album. In 1997, they followed it with Revolution
. This album featured a more eclectic and psychedelic sound, but again it was mostly ignored by the media and listeners.
On February 5, 1998, tragedy struck when guitarist Tim Kelly was killed in an auto accident in the Arizona desert. This deeply affected the band, but they were committed to continue with the band. Again, guitarist Dave Marshall (ex-Vince Neil Band) briefly performed as a touring guitarist for Slaughter in Japan. In 1998, they hired Jeff Blando
as Kelly's replacement and began working on their next album. A live album
titled Eternal Live
was released featuring some of the band's last performances with Kelly.
In 1999, they resurged with Back to Reality, featuring Blando as the new guitarist. Blando was previously in Left For Dead and Saigon Kick
. Since then, Slaughter continues to play many rock package tours with other acts that saw prominence during the glam era of the late 1980s and very early 1990s.
During the summer of 1999, while on its own (self-named) "Rock Never Stops Tour
" (which included Ted Nugent and Night Ranger) Slaughter enjoyed a brief commercial resurgence, and had the "#1 Track" on the "VH-1" CD "Power Ballads" with "Fly To The Angels" and "Up All Night" became the "#1 Track" on Rhino Records "Hard Hitters," and also took part in the Summer 2000 "Poison, Cinderella, Dokken and Slaughter" tour.
In 2001 Slaughter was a part of the "Voices of Metal" tour featuring Vince Neil
of Mötley Crüe
, Ratt
, and Vixen
.
Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum's former Vinnie Vincent Invasion
bandmate Bobby Rock
has played as a touring drummer for Slaughter, filling in for Blas Elias on some shows of the Rock Never Stops Tour.
In April 2004, Slaughter released a DVD-A entitled Then and Now that features 12 songs and 50 rare photos of the band over the years. Slaughter will also have a DVD that features all of the music videos and behind the scenes footage during the 2004 season.
On July 13, 2007, Slaughter performed at glam metal festival Rocklahoma
