The album was recorded in Toronto at Phase One Studios again with producer Paul Gross at the helm. "Dive" and "Twenty Something" were released as singles and video. The band went on to only having a Canadian release with this recording and touring across Canada multiple times before calling it quits and going their separate ways in 1995. Met with critical acclaim, this eclectic collection of songs has been touted by some critics as being ahead of its time with hard hitting de-tuned riffs, snarly vocals and bombastic drumming. "It was a crazy time for us, as we like so many other rockers were in a state flux," recalls Walsh. This was a time when the airwaves and magazines were being bombarded with the advent of alternative, grunge and pop groups.Īfter the release of their debut CD Doin’ the Nasty selling well over 50,000 units in Canada (Gold status) and receiving the Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for Hard Rock Album Of The Year, the climate in the music industry started to change. This year marks the album's 30th Anniversary, which has been surprisingly unavailable in the digital world until now. The album was originally released in 1994 during a turbulent time for hard rock. Thus, Slik Toxik became Canada's best kept 'secret', hitting hard with their 1991 debut EP, Smooth And Deadly, and following up with the Juno Award-winning full-length record, Doin' The Nasty a year later.

Hearing songs like Helluvatime, White Lies/Black Truth, and By the Fireside made me feel that Slik Toxik very well could be a commercial success on the level of a band like Skid Row while songs like, Sweet Asylum, Crashed, and Midnight Grind could appeal to more metal end of the spectrum.
