Mark Slaughter, lead singer of the multi-platinum band Slaughter, is currently in the studio recording a collection of songs that he wrote for his first-ever upcoming solo release.
With the chance to work with legendary producer Michael Wagener at the helm mixing and masterging the record, Mark is playing all instruments on the album with the exception of drummer Mark Goodin. His guitar playing rivals the greats out there and his vocals are spot on with a musical range that is par-excellence. Still in the band Slaughter and continuously touring with his band, Mark had years of music creativity stored up and has now decided it is time to share it with the world.
This Spring Mark released a new single, Never Givin’ Up, his first ever solo track, to rave reviews on radio stations across the country.
The song salutes the military and all who have served, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Red Circle Foundation that assists families of the US Special Operations Forces.
In addition to the Red Circle Foundation, Slaughter actively participates in charity work including with St. Jude’s hospital.

Can’t wait!!!!!
I honestly cannot wait for the album! Marks voice was a little rough for a while, but have you heard him lately? Mark can hit all of the high notes spot on. I also think Mark is a great guitar player. Grated, he isn’t a “lead guitarist” but I believe he is great. He taught guitar for 2 years, having a crazy amount of students each month. I don’t think that would have happened if he didn’t know what he was doing. I watched the lessons he did back in 91′ and I don’t have a guitar. I can honestly say just by watching those videos that I learned a lot about guitar and music theory. People say Slaughter isn’t or wasn’t metal, but there are several branches of metal. Slaughter, along with other great bands are under the branch of Hair Metal. One more thing, I hate that Slaughter is known for mainly two songs, “Up All Night” and “Fly To The Angels” but the truth is, they have so many amazing songs that can fit any mood. I’m a huge fan of Mark and respect him greatly for still performing. I’ll be the first one in line to pick up his album and I will play it as loud as possible. Mark, thank you for still rockin’ and I can’t wait to see you perform this weekend!
I like the new song. Got to hear it recently at a live concert here in Florida. I think Slaughter sounded great that day considering how dam hot it was here. The drummer should be nick named ” animal ” like the character from muppets, cause he was crazy jumping around & having fun behind those drums ! I am a old school, hairband, & like the todays rock, screamo, & pop kind of fan.
It’ll be intresting to hear his new solo material and to see what direction he’s headding.
I love Never Givin’ Up & can’t wait to hear more of Mark’s solo music! I have no doubt that I won’t be disappointed.
