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.

Mark’s voice has proven itself time and again through the years. I am sure this will be another success. I’m looking forward to the release of his latest album.
I never saw Slaughter back in the day but always listened to their music. I have recently been to 2 shows this year. I thought Mark sounded great and the band was awesome. Crowd was older but my 22 year old daughter loves all the hair metal bands. I thought crowd was really happy with the shows and both times Mark came into the crowd singing and taking pics with people. How often does that happen with bands anymore. I would recommend anyone who enjoys that music to catch a show.
Over the years I have seen Mark Slaughter perform many times. I have admired his talent since day one. I have always been totally blown away by his vocals! The last three times that I have seen him perform he had a totally awesome drummer on board. I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Slaughter & Zoltan Chaney ( who has a clothing line btw Chozenclothing.com ) I totally enjoyed how fan friendly both of them were. Nothing but respect my friends … \m/
I think it’s awesome that Mark is coming out with a solo album. .I think it’s about time actually. . Oh and good all you people bashing him Slaughter was his and Dana Strums band to begin with… and you should check out the rest of Slaughters music besides Up all night and Fly to the Angels.. if that’s all you know your not a true fan and have no right to judge based on 2 songs. Mark is an extremely talented singer, songwriter, and guitarist. And he sounds great live 🙂 I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville Ct in May and he is such a nice guy. . Very sweet and down to earth. And am going to see them again this Sat in Sharon Pa:) can’t wait!
Mark is a super talent – he has not only been the creative force behind Slaughter but has done work in film and TV and continues to perform and tour. I’ve had the pleasure of
seeing him live and meeting him at a show. He cares about his
fans and that trait sets him apart from so many musicians from his
era. I can’t wait for the new album
