Pioneering Canadian death/thrash metal band, widely considered as one of the earliest proto-death metal acts and highly influential in the nascent death metal underground.

Slaughter was formed in 1984 and released two demo tapes that year, followed by another demo and a live tape in 1985. Their first official release was the Nocturnal Hell 7 in 1986, followed up by their classic album [m=208510] in 1987. The band released two more demo tapes in 1988, but they called it a day in 1989. They briefly reformed in December 1994 but split up again in 1995.
