Slaughter first formed in Las Vegas, NV. at the height of glam metal'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 1988 with Mark Slaughter on vocals, Dana Strum as bassist, Tim Kelly on guitars and Blas Elias on drums. Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum had previously played together in Vinnie Vincent Invasion. 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)".

Unlike many of the bands from the era who were suddenly phased out in the wake of the alternative movement, Slaughter remained intact and continued to produce new records. In 1992, the released their second album,

"The Wild Life" saw the daylight in 1992, where most 80s bands began to suffer as the grunge wave started sweeping in. Slaughter managed to produce several hit singles and hit the gold status, but after this album, everything went sour commercially for them while ironically, the next release, in my opinion, is their peak creativity. This album showed a rich variety of musical perspective, from those mandatory emotional-fueled ballads, to psychedelic-feel hard rock, from groovy melodic rock to early 80s heavy metal.

"Reach For The Sky" and "Out For Love" are good opener, but the title track that steals the show. That first single has blasting chorus and Blas Elias pumped up the groove nicely. "Dance For Me Baby" with its naughty Van Halen-ized beat and "Old Man" with its Aerosmith flair are great examples of Slaughter taking on some past references. "Days Gone By", "Real Love", and "Streets of Broken Heart" are all sensational ballads, hard to top them all, a timeless classic, and to this day, I always found the songs to be very inspiring and adorable.

At the verge of glam's decadence, Slaughter still delivered a classy effort. This is their second best album of all time after "Fear No Evil", but together with the debut, all three are essential and a must buy for glam fans.
