The band was founded in 1981 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. The album was considered a masterpiece of prog/power metal from start to finish, but few knew that it would end up being the collector piece it is today. In fact, 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 kept on playing in the area near Chicago, and in 1999 "Free The Beast" was finally released. At the moment, the band is working on a new album without the original singer Jonathan Stewart.

Vlad Tepes
So it seems nothing lucky can ever come my way
And then I dream we can have it
The way it used to be
The dark and the light, I feel ashamed
My repentance I can't explain
Because you're on my mind...
Now that I've realized
I am wrapped around your finger
Now I realize I can live without you
Don't do this to me now - no!
Because your love it destroys
You slave me...
Don't do this to me now - no!
Once I thought that we had it so good
And then the stars spoke to me that night
A wise man told me a sign was the rising moon
You said you needed me
You were gonna have my child
But you lied
No matter how hard I try
Black rose, you gave me thorns
Your love it destroys
And you're on my mind
I can't sleep in the nighttime
I know that you're not around
Rose... black rose
Your love it destroys, you slave me
You're on my mind
I can't sleep in the nighttime
I know that you're not around
One thousand centuries, my sweet sweet queen
Because of how deep you cut my heart
It's now bleeding - ooooh...
You said you needed me
You were going to have my child
But you lied
Black rose, you gave me thorns
You're on my mind
Don't do this to me now - no!
