Slauter Xstroyes

Slauter Xstroyes was a cult power metal band from Chicago, Illinois. The band was founded when guitarist Paul Kratky (who, at that time, was intentioned to put together a band called Naj) met bassist Brent Sullivan and vocalist John Stewart. Drummer Dave Bonow joined the band, and Slauter Xstroyes released their first album, "Winter Kill", in 1985. Only 500 copies were released in the area around Chicago. It was around 1987-88 that the band headed into the studio to record their second album “Free the Beast", which was never completed nor released. The band split in 1989. John formed Energy Vampires, Brent played in Squadron as well as several other bands, and Paul played in Ript, Johnny Chainsaw as well at others. Brent filled in on Bass with Ed Morvak on drums, at the final two Energy Vampires shows in 1992.
Soon after that they tried to work out a new band which wasn't working out so John headed to Vegas and the band renamed to Winterkill. No one had heard from John since and rumors had started to spread of his death. In 1999 "Free The Beast" was finally released on Monster records. In 2006 The band finally came in contact with John who is still in Las Vegas breeding exotic cats (www.monsterkatz.com). John is currently working on some new material for another possible Energy Vampires album.
