Chicago Heavy Metal act SLAUTER XSTROYES first debuted in 1985 with the 'Winterkill' album. This record, although only issued on a limited run, garnered the band much valuable international press coverage. The group also had a track 'No Idea' featured on the Silver Fin Records compilation 'Chgicago Metalworks Battalion No. 1'.
An intended follow up 'Free The Beast', due for issue in 1987, was shelved. Bassist Brent Sullivan departed for SQUADRON. Guitarist Paul Kratsky busied himself with JOHNNY CHAINSAW.
However, with the resurgence of interest in US 80s Metal 'Free The Beast' belatedly made the racks in 1998. The re-release included earlier material from the early 80s with Ed Pukstys and Ed Moravec on drums as well as Ken Shembarger on guitar. SLAUTER XSTROYES actually planned a return based upon the album with a line up of guitarist Paul Kratsky, bassist Brent Sullivan and drummer Ed Moravec.
Sullivan also operates WINTERKILL.
