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.
