Revolution

Description

Slaughter was formed in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1988. The band was founded by lead singer and rhythm guitarist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum, who had previously played together in the band Vinnie Vincent Invasion. The addition of lead guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer BlasElias allowed Slaughter to quickly gain attention for their energetic live performances, catchy hooks, and melodic guitar solos. Slaughter's debut album, Stick It to Ya, released three singles that reached the Billboard Hot 100: the hit "Fly to the Angels" (US #19), and the moderate hits "Up All Night" (US #27) and "Spend My Life" (US #39). In 1992, the band released their second album, titled The Wild Life. It peaked at number eight on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart in the U.S. and was certified gold, but failed to produce any US Hot 100 Top 40 hit singles. The only single to make the Hot 100 was the lead single "Real Love" (#69). The band went on to release Fear No Evil in 1995, followed by Revolution in 1997 and their final studio album Back To Reality in 1999. Now, Revolution is getting a facelift and is being released in new packaging by original artist Ioannis (Deep Purple, Allman Brothers, BOC), including a 6-CD digipack.
