About five years after their seminal third demo "Surrender or Die", Slaughter were no more. The band had released their first album "Strappado", a masterpiece of deadly thrash in its own right, and main man Dave Hewson moved on to form a new group under that very name. A significant line-up change with the addition of a second guitarist resulted in "Not Dead Yet", an album put out independently on tape and later fittingly re-issued under the old moniker - because it´s nothing less than a logical progression from Slaughter´s early sonic adventures.
