Slave to the Grind is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Skid Row,released on June 11,1991,by Atlantic Records. The album displayed a harsher sound than its predecessor and lyrics that avoided hard rock cliches. Slave to the Grind is the first heavy metal album to chart at number one on the Billboard 200 in the Nielsen SoundScan era,selling 134,000 copies in its opening week. The album was certified 2×platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1998 for shipping two million copies in the United States. It produced five singles:"Monkey Business","Slave to the Grind","Wasted Time","In a Darkened Room" and "Quicksand Jesus". Skid Row promoted the album opening for Guns N' Roses in 1991 and as a headliner the following year.
Subhuman Race is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Skid Row,released on March 28,1995,by Atlantic Records. This is the last Skid Row album with singer Sebastian Bach and drummer Rob Affuso,and the last one to be released on Atlantic.

Certain tracks from the album were remixed for the band's compilation 40 Seasons:The Best of Skid Row,given more tender,slightly cleaner mixes to fit better with the other tracks.

Skid Row is an American rock band formed in 1986 in Toms River,New Jersey. Their current lineup comprises bassist Rachel Bolan,guitarists Dave Sabo and Scotti Hill,drummer Rob Hammersmith and vocalist Erik Grönwall. The group achieved commercial success in the late 1980s and early 1990s,with its first two albums Skid Row (1989) and Slave to the Grind (1991) certified multi-platinum,the latter of which reached number one on the Billboard 200. Those two albums also produced some of Skid Row's most popular hits,both in and outside of the United States,including "18 and Life" and "I Remember You",which peaked in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100,and other charting singles such as "Youth Gone Wild","Monkey Business","Slave to the Grind","Wasted Time",and "In a Darkened Room". The band's third album Subhuman Race (1995) was also critically acclaimed,but failed to repeat the success of its predecessors.

The band had sold 20 million albums worldwide by the end of 1996. Amid rising tensions,Bach and Affuso both left Skid Row towards the end of that year,after which the band entered a three-year hiatus.
