(antiMusic) Before we get to the latest news from Metalmind about a couple of Slaughter reissues, we must state for the readers sake that the label obviously does not have a fact checker. Today you'll see it when they proclaim that the death/thrash metal band Slaughter came after the hairmetal band of the same name. The hairmetal band formed in 1988 after Mark and Dana split the Vinnie Vincent Invasion. This was two years after this other Slaughter released their debut album. And last week Metalmind tried to tell us that the 13th or 14th repackaging of the Enuff Z'nuff "live in the studio" album was really from a reunion concert in 2007. We didn't bother posting it. The inaccuracies in the bio were even worse and contained more BS then a Motley Crue press release. Sadly, a lot of metal sites did run with the inaccurate story. Hopefully, one day the band will put out one of the far superior board recordings that are floating around as bootlegs and retire this bogus "live album" for good. With all that said, here is what Metalmind had to say about these Slaughter reissues:
Metal Mind Productions presents new digipak edition of two Slaughter's album: "Strappado" - the debut album from 1986 featuring an extremely brutal combination of death and trash metal, spiced with some punk and hardcore influences and "Not Dead Yet/Paranormal" - the compilation album from 2001. New digipak edition is limited to 2000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on golden disc. Both titles will be available on 5th May 2008 in Europe and 8th July 2008 in USA (via MVD).
