'Halfway There' to a new Slaughter record

Legendary Hard Rock vocalist Mark Slaughter has announced the upcoming release of his sophomore solo release 'Halfway There' , being released in May Worldwide via EMP Label Group, the US based label of Megadeth bassist David Ellefson. 'Halfway There' is the follow up to 2015’s independently released 'Reflections in a rear view Mirror', and is a stunning return to form for Mark Slaughter.

Channeling the familiar Hard Rock sensibility of classic era Slaughter releases like 'Stick it to Ya' and 'The Wild Life' on 'Hey You' and emotionally charged title track 'Halfway There', with a mature, Progressive, Metal bent... evidenced on cuts like 'Devoted, Conspiracy' and 'Reckless'. Produced and co-mixed by Mark Slaughter with John Cranfield (AFI, Andy Grammer), with art by famed horror / album artist “Mister” Sam Shearon (Rob Zombie, Iron Maiden, KISS, Clive Barker).

'Halfway There' is slated to be released pn May 26th in North America by EMP Label Group / Amped, and EMP / SPV in Europe, and May 10th in Japan via EMP Label Group / Universal. Mark will tour Japan in May with Mark Slaughter supporting Ratt, in conjunction with the Japanese release of the LP. He will play shows in Nagoya, Osaka, and a performance at the Tokyo Metal Summit on May 14th with Ratt, Sebastian Bach, E’nuff Z’nuff and many more.

Not only is 'Halfway There' a blistering showcase of Mark Slaughter’s seemingly never ending vocal abilities, but a glowing testament to his perpetually underserved prowess as a songwriter and multi instrumentalist, handling all production, engineering, songwriting, arrangements, guitar, and the bulk of the album’s instrumentation himself.
