2乐队简绍

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。

3历史发展

1988年，Mark Slaughter 与 Dana Strum（bass）召集了他们的两个朋友 Tim Kelly（guitars）和 Bals Elias（drums）共同组建了 Slaughter 乐队，乐队成立不久就幸运的被 EMI 旗下的 Chrysalis 公司看中，签下合同。1990年 Slaughter 推出首张专辑《Stick it to Ya》，专辑推出仅仅三个月就卖出了白金数字，最终的销量则超过三白金。巡演过后，乐队推出收有五首歌的现场EP《Stick it to Live》，这张EP销量很快突破50万张。不久，极具声望的美国音乐奖赋予 Slaughter“最佳新重金属乐队”的称号，乐队的一系列成功令人羡慕不已。

1992年，Slaughter 推出第二张专辑《Wild Life》，这次 Slaughter 将重金属玩得更为火爆，并通过多种乐器和效果来丰富他们的音乐，尽管《Wild Life》一经推出就打上 Billboard 专辑榜第8位，但专辑的最终的销量却并不令人满意。接下来则是一大堆烦恼困扰着乐队：先是 Tim Kelly 和乐队的巡演经济人因涉嫌吸毒而染上官司；然后 Dana Strum 因骑车摔伤手臂而无法弹奏乐器；最麻烦的则是乐队因佣金问题与 Chrysalis 公司陷入旷日持久的官司之中，乐队的新专辑也因此迟迟未能推出。当然最后这一切都是雨过天晴，而 CMC 公司的介入使得乐队得以发行专辑新专辑《Fear No Evil》。1995年的专辑《Fear No Evil》是 Slaughter 最出色的一张专辑。同年，乐队在 JVC 机构下推出收有5首歌的EP《Hard Time》。旧公司 Chrysalis 则推出他们的精选专辑《Mass Slaughter/The best of Slaughter》。随后 Slaughter 开始了第一次日本巡演，并获得巨大成功。

1997年，乐队推出第四专辑《Revolution》，Slaughter 依然坚持着为自己带来巨大成功和失败的流行重金属风格，而且非常纯粹，毕竟1997年已很难听到这样的专辑了，只是乐评认为《Revolution》较上张出色的《Fear No Evil》水准有所下降。1998年，乐队推出一张现场+老歌的唱片专辑《Eternal Live》。即使在重金属最低落的时期，Slaughter 仍然以频繁的活动来显示对自己未来的信心。但不久后最大的灾祸降临 Slaughter，吉他手 Tim Kelly 在1999年的一次车祸中丧生，这对乐队打击很大，毕竟十年来经历风风雨雨，乐队的阵容从未改变过。好在 Slaughter 很快从悲痛中挺过来，新吉他手Jeff Blando 在几个月后加入乐队，Jeff Blando 的表现不错，乐迷们对他也非常支持，新阵容的 Slaughter 实力依然不减。

1999年，Slaughter 推出第五张录音室专辑《Back to Reality》，乐队风格依然未有太大的变化，专辑的销量同以前一样，显得不愠不火，但乐队对自己的未来充满了信心，因为始终有一批铁杆乐迷在支持着他们，现在已经很难听到一张纯粹的流行重金属专辑了，Slaughter 的确是很好的选择。
