Slaughter, Voivod
and Celtic Frost 1986

40 years ago today, July 4 1986, Slaughter opened for Celtic Frost and Voivod at the Concert Hall in Toronto. One of my fondest memories of our little musical lifetime. Celtic Frost was one of our favourite bands back then. Awesome memories! Photos by Nelly of course. :)

Make way for THE INCINERATOR!!!

Good things come to those who wait. The three original members assembled into a black room of an old schoolhouse and forced electricity through some ancient noise-making boxes and ravaged the already well-worn surfaces of obsolete drummery. Profanities were screamed, aggressions were awakened, the dead rose to once again offend the populace with their brutal sounds... so Slaughter did a fun little jam for the first time in forty-fucking-years.

Slaughter book! ...

Tales From The Chainsaw

Two longtime fans of the band, Dragan "Ed" Balog (Utopian Vision Music, Black Mark Production – North America, DOWNFALL, INNER THOUGHT) and Nick Sagias (NIHILIST DEATH CULT, TRIBE OF PAZUZU, SOULSTORM, OVERTHROW, PESTILENCE), are currently writing a book titled "Tales From The Chainsaw”. The book will include many interviews with the original members, friends, fans, and many well-known voices within the underground music scene, as well as unseen images, bizarre stories, and tales from the chainsaw. It’s currently slated for release in late 2026 or early 2027.

DECEMBER 2025
First time together in 39 years

Well this finally happened… Ron, who lives in Switzerland, boarded a plane to Toronto this past December and met up with Terry and Dave, Of course we're talking about a mini Slaughter reunion and reliving the good old metal days of the mid-eighties. It’s been 39 years since the three of them were in the same space. Thanks to Dave Busch, who put it all together after years of determined effort. The three giggled about the shit they all got into and the lives they destroyed back in the days of molten metal mayhem - each of them filling in the blank spots of their individual missing memories caused by past alcohol and substance abuse. Then Drew Masters showed up, his long platinum rock and roll hair bouncing about on his seriously cool leather jacket that everyone coveted. It was a pleasant evening talking about the past, present and future.
