[cid:image006.jpg at 01CF16AA.197D7EE0]One of the world's best-selling and greatest arena rock bands, Def Leppard premieres a newly mastered version of "Slang" today on Billboard.com. PRESS HERE<http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/5901144/def-leppard-slang-remastered-1996-album> to listen. The album title track comes from their classic and reissued LP - Slang Deluxe Edition - which will be released across multiple formats tomorrow, February 11th through their own label Bludgeon Riffola.


Slang was first released in May 1996 and is considered the band's most underrated album. At the time of its release, the music industry was at the height of the 90s grunge scene and Def Leppard with bands like Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam were dominating the airwaves. Despite this musical shift, Slang charted on the Top Five UK Official Chart and the Top 15 in the US on Billboard's Top 200 Chart, plus the UK rock magazine Q named the project as one of the Top 10 Albums of the Year. As a testament to their music transcending through time, Slang was recognized for its musical departure from the band's signature sound. The collection incorporated new sonic elements that gave the album a slightly darker introspective mood than their previous releases.
