It was released in 1991 on the independent label Big Chief Records,[1] and again eight years later on Relapse Records, with four bonus tracks.[2] Peaceful Death and Pretty Flowers was Dead Horse's last studio album for 26 years (until 2017's The Beast That Comes), although the band had released three EPs of new material in the interim.
