One and Done Pt. 2: Slaughter: Strappado

This is probably going to be the last time I discuss this album for quite awhile. I feel like I do something with it a lot. What can I say, though? This is just a great album.

Slaughter is a Canadian band that had a major influence on death metal. Combining thrash metal and punk even more than the two styles already were, and experimenting with harsher vocal styles resulted in the band's trademark sound.

Slaughter only released this one album though and broke up in the late 1990's. They did release a ton of demos and some compilations, but Slaughter only released one album. After they broke up, some members went on to form the Bay Area thrash band Strappado, named after Slaughter's only album and later the industrial death metal band Inner Thought.

Unfortunately, we only have one full-length from Slaughter.
