Love You to Death (album)
Love You to Death is the fourth studio album by Swedish heavy metal band, Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Although the band did record demos for the album in 1987, the album was never officially released, and Vinnie Vincent Invasion disbanded in 1988. The unfinished state of the album, coupled with legal disputes, has contributed to its mythology among fans of the band.
Background:
Following the success of their self-titled debut album and the subsequent departure of vocalist Robert Fleischman, Vinnie Vincent Invasion recruited Mark Slaughter. They released their second and final official album, All Systems Go, in 1988. While All Systems Go saw some commercial success, tensions within the band remained high. The recording sessions for Love You to Death were intended to be the band's follow-up, but internal conflicts and creative differences ultimately led to its cancellation.
