NoLifeTilMetal Records is excited to bring back Face Reality, the hard-hitting second album from New Jersey’s Slaughter House. Originally released in the early '90s on Metal Blade Records, this album stands as a testament to the band’s uncompromising approach to thrash metal. Now, it’s been meticulously remastered by Rob Colwell and features newly designed layouts and expanded booklets by Scott Waters.
Formed in the mid-'80s, Slaughter House emerged from the Newark area as a working-class metal band, rejecting the glam and gimmicks that dominated the scene. Their sound is a fierce blend of thrash, heavy metal, hard rock, and punk, driven by a relentless energy that’s pure Jersey. Face Reality showcases this intensity, delivering a more powerful and straightforward thrash experience than their debut.
Lyrically, Slaughter House isn’t afraid to tackle tough subjects, addressing issues like anti-cocaine, anti-drunk driving, and anti-abortion in songs that make a strong, unapologetic statement. The band’s mission is clear: to make music that matters, both sonically and thematically.
Despite their undeniable talent and impact on the East Coast metal scene, Slaughter House remained one of Metal Blade’s lesser-known acts. Face Reality and their debut album have been out of print and hard to find for decades, making this reissue a must-have for metal enthusiasts.
The 2024 reissue of Face Reality is limited to 300 copies on heavyweight splatter vinyl and 500 CD copies, offering fans a rare chance to experience this classic thrash album in a new light. Don’t miss out on owning a piece of metal history with this exceptional reissue.
