I think their drummer doesn’t get enuff credit! The drumming is unreal!

[@JaMbizard]

He is no doubt a very good drummer but the fact they sample replace most of his drums on these singles makes it hard to actually judge his ability properly.

[@lukek1192]

@@JaMbizard he used to he in band called katalepsy, hes done live drum cams, go watch those hes sick

[@JaMbizard]

@@lightningman212xd6 You need to re-read what I put. Yes he can obviously play the drums well but on these tracks the drums are quite blatantly samples. Slow the song down half speed and you will hear that the snare in particular is digital and sounds identical every hit. That doesn't happen in the real world. Even if you slow down the likes of Chris Turner and Thomas lang (arguably 2 of the best in the world) you can hear they hit the occasional note which isn't perfectly in time and they don't hit perfect rimshots every time. No human alive does. Its also impossible to generate the volume heard here with gravity blasts. You simply don't have the stick height to get such a velocity when doing those blasts without them being triggered and sample replaced

[@JaMbizard]

@@lukek1192 check my reply above 🙂

[@urbanshade3930]

Some references, that can be found there. Baba Yaga - in slavic folklore its witch, that lives in deep forest (word Baba or Баба in russian means either grandmother or countryside style of calling any woman. Thats kinda rude, but still), and in some stories acts as helper to hero of story, and sometimes works as "horror" antagonist, like she's stealing children and cook em in big pot. Also, btw, anthropologists, who study russian folklore also associates Baba Yaga with... How to say that. Like gatekeeper between real world and world of the dead, like clear origins of that character are somewhat unclear. In famous John Wick series John's nickname is Baba Yaga, altough she's clearly mythologycally woman, no male counterpart. So i can think that they either played on topic of either Alex acting as Baba Yaga, like some of russian lyrical parts saying, or he acted as killer of witch, because you can see, that body parts - head look like kinda womans head. So, he killed and they with boys eaten Baba Yaga, presumably. Also, interior in start of video is clearly interior of traditional russian/slavic home from mid-ages to even nowadays in countryside parts of Russia. One of boys also cooked some body parts in pot in start. So, thats mythological references. English lyrics and some parts of russian one are in style of "Im so tough, cool, dont cross way before me", etc. So i assume, thats probably reference to John Wick, like all that lasers pointed at Alex, tank, rocket launcher, bulletproof west. Also, scene in the end, where they play russian roulette - they all wearing russian gopnik, or 90-2000's russian mafia style clothing, thats why tracksuits with gold chains, leather jackets, etc. It is canonical look of russian gangster from mid nineties to up to 2010. Also, whole scene, i think, is reference to somewhat "cultish" russian dark comedy, called Жмурки, or Jmurki in stransliteration. I dont know, how to translate that word in context, because there can be serious wordplay. That is very obscure, gory and dark comedy about some unfortunate russian bandits and their doings. Also, i think, that song is somewhat collection of all russian related stereotypes, like bear, russian house, baba yaga (folklore witch), tank, rocket launcher, AK rifle, winter, bandits, vodka, russian roulette. But its not just like stereotypes, but whole design of video is not just make fun of em, but to make em look cool and stylish, so group definetely embracing that "folklore". Sorry for bad english and long post

Alex is feeding every metal reaction channel with his videos. What a generous guy xD

I've noticed allot of Slaughter the past week or so on channels, if he is requesting through their donations or patreon or something like that then he is a marketing genius

It's like NU metal but NU deathcore and its really good. Slipknot IOWA vibes with this one. His cleans are so bloody good its unreal. Amazing reaction guys. Most Russian video ever made 100%. Not to mention the breakdown is my favourite breakdown ever made.

old Slavic folklore

This upcoming album has so much potential

[@Madison.Cruz.Shooter]

I mean, it's every single Russian stereotype that people say about Alex and the others in the band. Every reaction to "Demolisher" had at least one of these stereotypes brought up in their reactions. 🤷‍♀️ It is in Russia and about Slavic folklore so I think it fits perfectly. lol 🖤

[@Satellizer6077]

Baba Yaga is an old tale about an ogress (or a witch in western adaptations) who lives in the forrest and eats humans, mainly children. It's similar to the original version of Hansel & Gretel.... thus the rather graphic video.
