SLAUGHTER – Hard Times EP [Japan release only / non album tracks]

Also requested together with “Fear No Evil”, SLAUGHTER‘s Japanese-only released EP “Hard Times” includes the single taken from the full length plus 3 non-album songs as bonus tracks, all recorded during the same sessions in 1994 – their record label dropped the band and the release resulted mere than a year delayed.
But well worth the wait, as Fear No Evil is one of SLAUGHTER’s best, more diverse and mature albums.
This “Hard Times” release should work as single as includes the title track and ‘Searchin’, both taken from the main album, but collectors and fans of the band / genre will be delighted by the bonus tracks exclusives to this out-of-print CD.
Among these is a great cover of Elton John’s classic ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’ done in a rocking way with sharp guitars. ‘Knows How To Rumble’ is really cool party rocking tune, classic SLAUGHTER with driving riffs, tongue-in-cheek vocals, a catchy chorus and of course, cowbell. The other bonus…

SLAUGHTER – Fear No Evil [Japanese Edition +1 / Digital Remaster]

As requested; SLAUGHTER third album “Fear No Evil” in its Japanese Edition including an exclusive bonus track, and different artwork. Released “Fear No Evil” in 1995 when catchy melodic rock was no longer the “in thing” for the industry, Slaughter paid no attention to trends, and made what many consider their best album.
While listening to this record you’d never have noticed that bands like Alice in Chains and STP were ruling the rock airwaves at the time. Slaughter kicks this baby like it’s 1989 all over again, and essentially ingratiate themselves to people like us for sticking to their guns.
Song-wise this album is their most mature and well-written effort to date, while simultaneously having lots of melodies and some of their heaviest songs…
