Captured at The Starwood in Toronto on November twenty-fourth, nineteen eighty-five, Slaughter deliver a raw and ferocious performance during the formative years of Canadian thrash. This show predates their full-length debut Strappado and documents the band in their most savage underground state.

The set tears through early staples like “The Curse,” “Disintegrator,” “Strappado,” and “One Foot In The Grave,” alongside covers such as “Into The Crypts Of Rays.” The recording showcases the chaotic speed, punk aggression, and proto-death metal intensity that helped define the Canadian extreme metal movement alongside bands like Sacrifice and Razor.

Originally circulating in archival form, this performance received an official release in two thousand twenty-one through Cursed Blessings Records, issued on numbered LP and cassette formats.
