Slaughter 是一支融合了 Bon Jovi 和 Motley Crue 之长的流行重金属乐队。他们的音乐比 Bon Jovi 或 Poison 这样的乐队更对得起重金属这个称号，而且岁月的流逝并未使他们变老，即使在乐队1999年推出的专辑中我还能感受到他们音乐的力量，乐队灵魂人物是主唱 Mark Slaughter，他用淳厚的真嗓和尖利甚至是刺耳的的假音交换演绎的演唱风格与 Aerosmith 的 Steve Tyler，Cinderella 的 Tom Keifer 有异曲同工之效。 　　Slaughter is an American glam metal band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada by lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum. The band reached stardom in 1990 with their first album Stick It to Ya, which spawned several hit singles including "Up All Night", "Spend My Life", "Mad About You" and "Fly to the Angels". The album reached double platinum status in the United States. The band remains a steady act in national tours, mainly in the Rock Never Stops Tour which features several bands of the same era. 　　Slaughter formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, in late-1988, out of the ashes of lead vocalist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum's previous band, Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Vinnie Vincent Invasion's record company, Chrysalis Records, took the $4 million contract away from Vinnie Vincent for overexceeding his credit line with the label, and transferred the contract to former members Slaughter and Strum. By 1989, Slaughter and Strum completed the lineup by recruiting lead guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias.
