░█ █░ ▀
█ Slaughter plays extreme thrash metal, in the vein █
█ of many of the South American extreme thrash bands █
█ like Sarcofago and the Chilean Pentagram (but █
█ predating them). With a punk-influence, it's raw █
█ and primitive as fuck noisy thrash. █
█ What makes Slaughter so special is the animo with █
█ which they made their uncompromising █
█ speed-assault. When Slaughter plays, both they and █
█ the audience are having fun. Each song is █
█ recognizable simply because of a signature riff, █
█ or the lyrics. "Make way for the INCINERATORR!!" █
█ or the riffs for Tyrant of Hell. "TALES of THE █
█ maCAbre" with that typical vocal-line is my █
█ personal favorite, although it's the slowest song █
█ on here. █
█ █
█ --- █
█ █
█ Canadian cult legends Slaughter are one of ôthoseö █
█ bands. You know the sort û the ones that would █
█ have been a hell of a lot more rich and famous if █
█ we lived in a fair and just world. Ah well, I █
█ guess thatÆs just the way it goes sometimes. At █
█ least with the benefit of retrospect the world can █
█ appreciate that Slaughter are one of the single █
█ most important bands in the history of Death █
█ Metal. Think IÆm exaggerating? Well, consider this █
█ - although the first release of this album was █
█ delayed until 1987, it was originally recorded in █
█ February of 1986. That means these utterly brutal █
█ recordings actually pre-date such genre landmarks █
█ as Pleasure to Kill, Reign in Blood and Scream █
█ Bloody Gore. ThatÆs no small feat. Aside from a █
█ collection of demos dating back to 1984, Strappado █
█ was their only proper release but it was a ripping █
█ firebrand of an album that still slays to this █
█ day. ItÆs proto-death metal at its finest. Fast, █
█ brutal and with a surprising knack for groove that █
█ makes it hopelessly catchy and memorable. I wonÆt █
█ say too much about the album itself here though, █
█ because I want to talk about the jaw-droppingly █
█ stunning reissue package we have been treated to █
█ here by Marquee Records. █
█ Strappado has been reissued several times since █
█ its initial release, and having owned some of █
█ those releases, I feel I can safely tell you that █
█ this latest 2012 reissue is far and away the █
█ greatest ever release of this album. It features █
█ pretty much everything a budding Slaughter fan █
█ could want from a single release, with 2 █
█ absolutely jam packed discs featuring a whopping █
█ total of 55 tracks. Yes, 55! This is the be all █
█ and end all of Slaughter releases. Disc one █
█ features the Strappado album in two forms. █
█ Firstly, you get the original 1987 LP track █
█ listing, which is a really cool novelty because it █
█ hasnÆt been featured on any release of this album █
█ since the LP itself was issued. This will be the █
█ first time many fans get to hear the songs █
█ presented in this particular running order. Next, █
█ of course, you get the CD release which features █
█ an altered track listing and includes the 4 extra █
█ tracks that were recorded during the sessions but █
█ not included on the LP. This is the track listing █
█ I myself am familiar with, as I have only ever █
█ owned the album on CD, so I have to say this is █
█ the one I prefer. Aside from the obvious benefit █
█ of the four extra songs, I feel like the track █
█ list flows a little better. That may just be █
█ familiarity, but I suppose thereÆs a reason they █
█ changed it in the first place. Finally, the first █
█ disc also contains 5 previously unreleased live █
█ tracks performed in Ontario in 1986, before the █
█ album was even released. █
█ As if all of that were not enough, believe it or █
█ not what really makes this package so great is the █
█ second disc. It features 3 full demos recorded █
█ prior to the original release of Strappado. Many █
█ of the tracks contained here are simply earlier █
█ versions of the final album tracks, of course, but █
█ they are still an excellent insight into the █
█ development of these classic songs. The real █
█ highlight is the 1984 Meatcleaver demo which █
█ features an array of songs that û to the best of █
█ my knowledge û have not seen the light of day in █
█ any way, shape or form since the cassette trading █
█ days. The tracks here have an extremely raw █
█ recording quality and they lean closer to the █
█ Thrash side of things than the Death Metal side, █
█ as you might imagine given the original year of █
█ release. None of this reduces their importance in █
█ the slightest. Despite their sometimes amateurish █
█ nature, these long-lost tracks help to paint a █
█ picture of this band that was so important to the █
█ development of Death Metal. As a Slaughter fan, I █
█ can honestly say IÆm thrilled to have these songs █
█ on disc. █
█ ThereÆs not much left to say other than ôBravo, █
█ Marquee Recordingsö! I wish every album reissued █
█ could receive the love and attention given to this █
█ release, especially when the album in question has █
█ already been issued as many times as this one. █
█ TheyÆve really gone the extra mile with this █
█ package, and thereÆs nothing more a fan could ask █
█ for that hasnÆt been included. ItÆs pretty much █
█ perfect û I canÆt see why a different release of █
█ this album would ever be necessary. █
