Slaughter was a Canadian death thrash metal band. They formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1984 and briefly featured Chuck Schuldiner on guitar in 1986. Originally, they released two demos and two full albums. Slaughter was disbanded from 1989-1995 but returned in 1996 to record a cover of Celtic Frost's "Dethroned Emperor" for a tribute album called In Memory of Celtic Frost. They then re-released "Strappado" under the Nuclear Blast record label in 2001.
Slaughter has reunited in 2007 with the original, three members Terry Sadler (Vocals/Bass), Ron Sumners (Drums) and Dave Hewson (Vocals/Guitars) and are currently working on a brand, new studio album to be entitled "Bombast" which promises to be pure, old school, punk/hardcore/thrash metal along the lines of their "Surrender Or Die" CD and then a world tour with fellow Canadians Sacrifice.
Slaughter also released a new album under Nuclear Blast called Not Dead Yet/Paranormal. The band has been inactive again since 2001.
