Career


Slaughter was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 4, 1964. Before the formation of Slaughter, he fronted Xcursion, a Las Vegas-based metal band while attending Chaparral High School before joining the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, who had a hit song, "Love Kills", that appeared on the A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master movie soundtrack in 1988. After that band disbanded in the late 1980s, two of its members, Slaughter and Dana Strum, formed the group Slaughter.[2]

Slaughter sold more than five million records in the 1990s.[citation needed] The group had four Top 30 hits on the Billboard charts with tunes such as "Fly to the Angels" and "Up All Night",[3] and toured with bands such as Kiss, Poison, Ozzy Osbourne and Damn Yankees.[2]

Slaughter actively participates in charity work with St. Jude Children's Hospital.[4][5]

In January 2015, Slaughter digitally released a solo album titled Reflections in a Rear View Mirror. The album was released worldwide and became available in CD format on May 22, 2015.

In May 2017, Slaughter's second solo record, Halfway There, was released via EMP Label Group.
