Pig Heaven/Slaughter the Grey is the second EP by American rock band White Zombie, independently released in May 1986.[3][4] Two different pressings of this album were created (the differences between the two being the different guitarists and the altered cover art), both of which were limited to 500 copies each. By this time, drummer Peter Landau was replaced by Ivan de Prume, who would remain with the band until Astro-Creep: 2000, and guitarist Paul "Ena" Kostabi by Tim Jeffs.

Recording

[edit]

Although only "Pig Heaven" and "Slaughter the Grey" were released, the band also recorded "Scarecrow #2" (a remake of "Tales From The Scarecrow Man" from Gods on Voodoo Moon), "Rain Insane", "Paradise Fireball", and "Red River Flow" in the same session. These songs were officially released on It Came from N.Y.C. A bulk of the material was recorded in roughly two hours.[5]
